You really want the corrent impedance coax. Check your radio specs, it
probably calls for 50 ohm cable.

RG-6, 58, or 59 means diddily at VHF frequencies. All will work.

Sure they'll all "work". But for the most efficient system you should
match
the coax impedance to radio input/output. It "does" make a difference.

That's not true at all. Impedances are meant to variable within a
range - it can't work any other way. It allows for variance in
cable/connector connectivity in addition to variances in cable
manufacture.

When your dealing with small bandwidth, it really doesn't matter.

Just trying to help. Maybe you should read up on transmission line theory.
