[HCDX] RG-174U vs RG-176/U cable

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

I have been trying to find RG-174U cable to rebuild the AL4 Drake Loop.
All I can find is RG-176/U. The difference I can find is the RG-174U
runs 50 ohms and the RG-176/U runs 75 ohms.  Apparently the input of the
SPR4 runs 50 ohms where the loop plugs in. Do you think using 75 ohm
cable would make any difference? If we are talking about 300 ohms and
going to 325 ohms, it probably would make little difference, but going
to 75 ohms in doubling it from 50. Any thoughts or should I try to find
RG-174U?
Thanks.

73s,
