I'm adding a VHF radio to my sailboat and would like to ask for details
about the antenna cable.

RG-58 is recommended, but the losses in the cable seem staggering!

Is there a better cable for antenna connections???

Use RG8 or RG8x


How long cable? Lower loss cable such as RG8 for masthead
installations, but RG58 is quite ok for shorter cables. BTW, make
sure to use good quality connectors and be carefull that connections
are waterproof. Having boating and ham radio experience for 20 plus
years, 99% of problems have something to do with poor corroded
connections ...
