I have one line of RG58A/U and one line of RG58/U on my antenna. I would seem to think RG58C/U should work.

How long is the feeline? 5' of RG-58 would be OK, 50' would not!

I guess I forgot to mention that important detail....:p I was referring to the coax going from my Arrow to my HT - one side is 6ft (The jumper is a little longer than I need), the other is about 4ft. If you need between 15-30ft, I would go with RG-8X - I have had good experience with it. Once you get about 30ft+ you really need RG-8U and beyond.

At that short a length it would be no problem!
