Following leads from Ed Manzanares  at UNAVCO,
Eric Burt  of the Time Service Dept., USNO,
has assembled a more complete table of specifications for RF cables.
Eric's table lists the manufacturer's reported maximum and minimum
delay variations due to temperature changes, as well as attenuation
losses at L1 and L2, for a number of cable types.

The table is available in postscript format at:

http://maia.usno.navy.mil/gpst/cable-specs.ps

Please be aware that other factors should also be considered, such as
cost, flexibility, cable diameter, etc.  For additional information,
please refer to the web sites given with Eric's table.

Anybody having additional information on these or other suitable cables
(including losses for the RG cables) is encouraged to contribute that
for inclusion in this table.
