The RG400 and RG214 are both 50-ohms.  RG214 has lower loss.  I doubt that
12-ft of RG400 would make any measurable difference.

If you are going to blame the 12-ft of RG400 every time you miss a station
in a pileup then don't use it.

 OK  another dumb question.. I have a 100 ft spool of Alpha RG400 and about
60 ft. of Belden   RG 142.
 
I have used  pieced B-4  for some Radio /AMP    Amp Wattmeter and radio BPF
box.
 
With 9  RG 214 jumpers coming from the outside shack BOX to the
distribution/ground   panel.
 
What's the thought on using it to the 6X2 box and then to the  amps  ect ?
longest run would be 12 ft 
 
Or should I stick to the  RG214 ?
