-> I guess I should have put that in.  I am going to be using it on
-> 2meters.  I am currnetly using RG 58/u but just got about 50 ft. of
-> RG 213 and was wondering about the loss with the cable.  I know 213
-> was better than 58 but I didn't know how much better.  Thanks.
  First almost ANYTHING will be better, Except a Shorted or open cable
than RG-58. I would NEVER recomend using more than 6 ft for any use.
 But for the losses lets look at it this way. For 2 meters and 50 Ft of
cable you will loose about 21% of the signal with RG-213 and about 68%
of the Signal with RG-58
  Others have provided exact losses at various frequencies. Plug those
figures into the following dB vs loss table;
 dB Loss       Percent of Signal
  1                     21%
  2                     37%
  3                     50%
  4                     60%
  5                     68%
  6                     75%
  7                     80%
  8                     84%
  9                     87%
 10                     90%
