[Antennas] Using RG174 in mobile setup ??

[Dan Evans]

If you can live with the loss, just keep the rg174.  But if the loss is
unacceptable [if you want to work long range simplex, etc...], I would go
with the rg8x.  The added loss in the connectors is negligible if they are
installed well.

I use rg8x on my 2m fm rigs in my truck.  But all of my weak signal gear in
the Rover is fed by LMR400, or 1/2" heliax for UHF.  It all depends on just
how far you want to work:-)

Have fun,
Dan
