Can I use RG-11 coax for my antenna?

[conve36]

I need a 15-25 foot cable from my Uniden BC246T scanner to my roof top antenna....

I have a friend who can make me a cable using RG-11 for free. Will this work better than RG-58?

Suggestions/Comments please!

It is a much better coax and for the price you cant beat it

It is also 75 ohm cable, but it won't matter.

why something so big for such a short run?

Like the man said the price is right, not going to hurt a thing

I tried a 40-foot RG-58 cable but the signal loss was insane. This RG-11 will be MUCH better right?
