RG58 for the transceiver to amp.
RG8 (RG213) for the amp to antenna.

I may be "preaching to the choir" but since I have no idea of your level of experience, here it goes.
For your own safety, do not try to operate the amplifier until you READ and UNDERSTAND the instructions.
Legacy equipment employs lethal voltages.
Mistakes can be fatal, or at the very least expensive
Post questions to the various forums, or better still get some help from a local ham.

In a stock SB-102, the RF output connector is an RCA phono jack. Many of these rigs have been modified to replace the RCA phono jack with an SO-239 coax connector. Take a look at your specific rig to confirm what kind of connector is needed.

Got ya,   

Just finished building a RCA / RG-58 cable for tcvr to dummy load, and a RG-213 cable to connect the amp to DL.  Dang that Belden RG- 213 is over $2.00 a foot here.   Shocked

thanks john
