Times Microwave has a nice online calculator for loss and power at
http://www.timesmicrowave.com/cgi-bin/calculate
Plug in some cables and lengths and then you'll just have to decide how much
loss you can live with.
I purchased LMR-600DB for my 550 ft run from Steve Davis at Davis RF at
http://www.davisrf.com/
Steve was -extremely- helpful. I'm very satisfied with the product and was
very happy with the service from Davis RF. I also used some Bury-Flex and
have been very happy with it as well. Good luck with your project!
