Loss is right. Sorry about that. RS is trying to get rid of everything
radio. These were on clearance. Normally sold for much more.

I just picked up 200 ft of rg8 at radio shack for 40 bucks. 10 bucks for
50 foot run. Anyways, there was a website I came across recently that
showed the swr rating of different size rg cables based on band. I
searched for rg8 and the site popped up. It was complete with charts,
etc. Very nice. It only takes a few minutes to find if you don't mind
trudging through the sites.

I don't know what kind of cable Radio Shack is selling for that price, but
it must be very poor quality. Probably 5 times the loss of any quality
rg-8 size cable at 2 meters and above. RG-8 size cable of any type should
be atleast $ .50 per foot and more like $ .75 per foot or more.

There should not be any tables for SWR for differant cables based on the
band.
Maybe you mean the loss in dB instead of SWR.
