Myth 2 - You must use RG-6 because of the increased loss in RG-59. With both being of good quality on runs of over 100ft that might have a slight effect but in typical RV run you would see no difference. It is not uncommon in our testing to have a good quality RG-59 outperform many RG-6 cables.
Somewhere (in the cabinet in the back bathroom and over the window in the front Half Bath both) I have some charts, Courtesy of Belkin Cable.
What they show is that both RG-59 and RG-6 come in lots of different qualities.. The Best 59 actually does outperform the cheap 6.. But the best Six.. Well... on the average RG-6 has about 1/4 the loss of 59. So it will perform better No matter the frequency.
The difference however is that at lower (VHF) even mid range (UHF) the difference may not be worth notice.. At Sat.. It means that 100 feet is like 400 feet and you have a 300 foot limit.
But if you get QUALITY cable.. Well, that makes an even bigger difference in both types.
