The 2.4 GHz radios use 50 ohm cable. You can use the RG 58 cable that tends
to be readily available. You will loose about 3Db, or half your power, for
every 16 feet of cable. A lot of the RG 58 cable on the market has poor UV
protection so that can be a problem in direct sun. If you need a better
cable the LMR series seems to be popular with the wISP crowd.
