Which Coax Cable to use for VHF/UHF Satellite Comms

I got a Cushcraft A27010S Yagi

for Christmas from the family which has the UHF elements missing, so while waiting for these from the supplier, I thought I should investigate what coax to use to go to my Icom IC-9100.

I would have to take out the connector shown in the picture and feed two cables to the radio to work split frequency for the satellites.

One can check out Coax reference sheets and they all seem to show similar but different figures.

I was initially thinking the RG-58 c/u would do, but was told that wouldn't cut the mustard and was soon amazed by going through some charts.

I came to three possible solutions, RG-8, RG-213, or LMR-400.

To my amazement the LMR-400 is hand down the best option for loss of signal. Even if I wanted to use it for HF, it looks pretty good.

 

I guess my next step is to find the cheapest price getting the cable and crimping machine and connectors to connect everything together.
