[TowerTalk] Coax Question

[Tom Haavisto]

As other have indicated, not a good idea.  One thing I would also add
though - 5 db of loss in your cable on the TX side also means 5 db of
loss on the RX side as well....  Best to try and get your cable losses
under control - will make for a far better operating environment.
