And that was the kind of thing I was referring to. I saw a mobile mount that used some small diameter heliax (about 1/4) from the antenna to the radio. I immagine it was for 800-900MHz or something like that. Basically, I was just curious as to how common and/or practical it might be. In a

I think you could use Superflex in a mobile. But the most advantage of Superflex cables is the shield being 100% not that they are exceptionally low loss. For example I like Andrew FSJ1 and FSJ2 for repeaters sites, but for loss, GOOD braided cable like 9913 or LMR400 specs slightly better. NOTE
