Here's mine.
Hopefully you are using the term 'RG-58' as a generic, because it's loss at 2.5GHz is close to 40db per hundred feet, as opposed to LMR-200, almost the exact same size @ ~16db for the same length. That's a huge difference, even at 10'.
Also from the school of been there, go to Home Depot, Lowes, or Harbor Freight and replace those zip-ties with Stainless zip-ties.
