[Amps] Coax specs

[Jim Brown]

Hi Bill,

Remember that RG numbers are no longer specs for cable, merely generic 
descriptors.  Remember also that below UHF, attenuation is all copper 
loss, so if you can get physical dimensions and construction details, 
you can get pretty close to its loss by comparing to another cable with 
the same dimensions and construction.

Google found this on the first try.  Center is solid copper, 0.25-in, 
shield is double silver-covered copper. Dielectric is 0.632-in.

http://catalog.standard-wire.com/Asset/RG-Attenuation.pdf  lists 
attenuation for a bunch of RG numbers, and I saw a note in my searches 
that 189 has been replaced by 389. RG389 is listed here as 0.8 dB at 100 
MHz.
