[TowerTalk] [Bulk] Coax cable economics. (was Mosley Antenna Question)

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

How often can the difference between the following even be detected? It 
is after all, only o.5 db.  1 db can just barely be detected under ideal 
conditions.    If this is the standard 9913, I either gave away, or 
threw out nearly 1500 feet of nearly new 9913.

LMR400  0.7 dB
RG213   1.2 dB
9913    0.7 dB

73
