Coax compatabilly with G2+

I am in the process of replacing the winegard crank-up sat antenna the came with the MH, with a winegard carryout carryout G2+. My question is; can I use original coax that runs to the single LNA block, which is 2.25 gigs, or do I need to run a higher rated coax to the new antenna. I ask this question because I have just replaced OTA coax to the TV antenna 2 weeks ago, and had a devil of a time trying to get the old cable out and finely ran a new cable in a different route, as the old cable could not be removed. Having surveyed the installed sat coax, it will be near impossible to run a new line in without really messing things up, that will require a lot of repair

    I assume you are referring to replacing the currently installed RG59 coax with RG 6. You are wasting your time, it really doesn't matter in the limited runs in a RV as to which coax is used. The RG59 will work.
