Can you hear a difference of 1.2 dB on the other end? That's about one fifth of
an S unit.

## U ..forgot the 1.2 db of coax loss, from the 100 ft of 213 U on
10m band. So now you have a total loss of 2.4 db.
## Your total ..systems loss is 2.4 db..... which is a helluva lot..on any
band.
That’s unacceptable loss imo.
## BTW, an S unit is not 6 db. Its about 1-2 db max on icoms, and most other
rice boxes. Switch in 6db of attenuation and you will see for your self. Turn
on all
the pre-amps on any icom.... and they are 7 uv for an S-9 signal...which is
laughable.
