Adair,
You can get slightly different numbers from different sources, but from
the
CableXperts chart, the loss in 300 feet at 450 MHz would be 15.6 db for
213,
8.4 db for 9913, and 8.1 db for LMR400. For comparison, garden variety RG8
foam is 14.1 db, and 1/2 inch Heliax 4.5 db. Clearly, none is acceptable
without an antenna mounted amplifier.

I agree, none of those are great numbers by any means. i honestly don't
remember the specifics of it all, it might have been 800Mhz at 100 ft.. i
just know that I whoever had put it up wasn't impressed with it.. (didnt'
live up the posted specs) and i do believe the loss was verified with an
IFR..
anyway.. i prolly should have kept my mouth shut not knowing everything in
detail.
