Use this calculator and try to stay below or around 1 DB coax loss in your
budget
My choice is at least 7/8 heliax and some lmr600 up the tower, remote coax
selector at the top
Here the thing is BUDGET vs LOSS

Subject: [TowerTalk] Coax Question
This may be a little off topic but I would appreciate your input.
I am putting up a tower and will need to run about 500 feet of coax. Should
I go with LMR-400 or 213? Any comments or input would be greatly
appreciated! I am of course looking for the lowest loss.
