Out of curiosity, WHY do you want to replace your coax?
Did you measure it's loss to see if it is in spec?
How LONG is the coax? (How much Total Loss at 10M?)
I probably would NOT replace any coax unless
I could realize at least 1 dB improvement in losses.
My design goal is no more than 2 dB cable loss
for any HF antenna. This comes to ~200 ft of
RG213 on 10M or 600 ft of 3/4 inch CATV Hardline.
My rule of thumb is for anything under 200 ft,
use a Good Quality Coax. There are several
cable suppliers who should be able to assist
you in this selection.
