Eric, I would look at the receiver limits; usually they are at or above the transmit capabilities, so you shouldn't need an attenuator. But, if it makes you feel better to attenuate the transmit by 5 db or so, there is never a problem with that. Again, you shouldn't "have" to attenuate that short of a distance.
