I'd bet the bigger hurdle would be convincing the users to adapt all those individual radio to add tone encoders. There's a lot of ancient hardware in use on 10m. If there's known local activity in the area... people will try to find and use equipment that makes the machine. It's hard

Jim, I'd be interested to know where in part 97 you find any restriction on FM below 29.5. (Without debating it, of course.) ARRL bandplan, yes, but FCC rules? Keith, we're also stuck with band-planning on other bands which didn't anticipate the popularity of FM repeaters. 2m is even more

Jay is correct. A 25 foot length of LDF4 (1/2 Anrdew) would be good and have about 0.4 db loss. It's also pretty good for felxability. I just picked Andrew since I had that spec sheet handy. Other brands would also be good. Most adpaters will be in the 0.2 db loss area at 450 MHz. Obviously
