You want to use RG-400 low-loss cable. As for making your own cables, it isn't too hard to do but you can find companies that will construct cables to your specifications. You need to know the length and type you want. Do a google search for companies that do custom cabling.

You need to get the correct BNC connectors for the RG-400. Aircraft Spruce sells them under P/N 11-01802 . Also you will need a good crimping tool. Any electronics supply store, maybe even Radio Shack has them. Without these two items, you will meet nothing but frustration. With them and a little practice, easy.
