Well Ian, a foot or three longer or shorter with almost any cable will not make any measurable difference in power out, at least caused by cable loss. But depending on your transmitter, duplexer, antenna, and other variables, changing cable lengths could make your transmitter put out more or less power, and/or cause other effects.
