174, RG 58, AND RG 8X ARE TOO LOSSY IT DOESNT TAKE ENOUGH CABLE BEFORE 1 DB
OF LOSS AT 21R2 MHZ HAS BEEN CREATED.  RG 213 SHOWS A LOSS OF 111 FEET PER
DB, SO A 400 FOOT LENGTH WILL RESULT IN 400 / 111 3R6 DB.  YOU COULD SPEND
THE EXTRA MONEY ON A CABLE WITH LESS LOSS, BUT YOU DONT HAVE TO.  HOW MUCH
RG 213 COULD YOU USE AND STILL MAKE THAT 4R0 DB LOSS BUDGET?  YOU COULD USE
111 FEET/DB CABLE, SELECT A TYPE FOR WHICH IT TAKES MORE THAN 500 / 4 125
FEET TO CREATE 1 DB OF LOSS.  CONTINUING OUR JOURNEY UP THE LIST, LMR 400
