Best Coax ???

Looking to replace the coax on a Wilson 5K. What is the BEST coax I can get? Looking at Belden 9913F7, but to be honest, they all are starting to "run together". Running a 2970N2 in 2010 Chevy truck.

Any suggestions will be appreciated !!
 

mobile =
lmr-195 flex =rg58
lmr-240 flex =rg 8x [mini 8]
just get whatever meets or exceeds your wattage. and use the flexable type
much simpler on mobile setups.you,ll see a F after the coax type.imho the 195 should
do fine.

The center electrode insulator with LMR is a softer foam (-). LMR > Velocity Factor (++).
Softer foam insulator and sharp bends is a no-no. I'm thinking anything less than 2" radius bend is detrimental on the smaller diameter LMR. May be greater R requirement on the larger 0.4x "coax.
Your 2970N2 deserves LMR190 or 240; watch the bends.
Belden 9913F7 10AWG center electrode; you think that N2 needs that:o
