Using RG-11 with Winegard Satellite???
Ok, I emailed the company (Winegard) to ask if RG-11 coax cable could be used with their Playmaker satellite. They only recommended RG-6. So, I asked if they have ever tested the system with RG-11 a...

at 1GHz RG11 nominally has about 1/2db less loss/100ft than RG6. 5.6db vs 6.1
Now RG59 spec is 21db/100ft at 1GHz.
now comparative losses at lower frequencies are not near as bad. but then I think the output frequency from the LNB is 950MHz -1400ish MHz.
given that, I've had cheap pieces of RG6 that had losses near 10db in 10ft!! usually a bad termination.
buy quality RG6 or RG11. There is lots of cheap inferior stuff out their!!
