I use Belden RG-174 from KX3 to amp. No problems on loss because it is only 2 feet long.  I use an RCA male connector on each end of RG-174 & that plugs into the RCA female to BNC adapter on the KX3 side & RCA female to PL-259 adapter on KXPA100. Just leave adapters on amp & KX3 which makes a very easy hookup.  



For portable use, I also use Belden RG-174, 25 feet, for the feeder to the antenna. Makes it easy to pack & a very quick disconnect if a large dog or child runs into the coax pulling the RCA connector from the rig instead of pulling the rig off the table.
