POWER is not the only issue. SHIELDING can matter FAR more than power if 
you are doing a multi-transmitter operation.  Jorge -- are you doing 
more than one transmitter -- SO2R or multi-two?  If you are, using 
bigger coax with a very good shield can reduce interference between 
stations. All of my feedlines are either Heliax, CATV hard line, Belden 
8213 (RG11), Belden 8237 (RG8), or a Commscope cable that's slightly 
better than LMR400.
