In general, good quality 75 ohm (CATV) coax is perfectly acceptable for
receive applications, and for that matter, most transmit applications.
There's a fair bit of misconception about the amount of "loss" introduced
by an impedence mismatch.
If you mentioned the frequency range you're interested
It would be very helpful to know the main frequency of interest.

The ANT500 needs 50 Ohm coax - RG8, RG13, etc.
73 ... Sid.

Given the low power levels you will suffer less loss on a long run
using 75 ohm coax cable which is designed for low loss, even assuming

Coax loss can be a big issue.
Given the low power levels you will suffer less loss on a long run using 75 ohm
I have a HackrfOne with an Ant500 antenna connected to my workstation in my
basement (where the internet connection lives). I need to move the antenna
out of the basement to improve reception, so I thought I would use coax to
connect the antenna from upstairs to the HackrfOne.
I'm too new to SDR
