We've used WET-11's for relatively long (8 miles or so) links with 24 dBi parabolics. With more powerful cards (Senao 200mw), we've had success with 13 mile links. However, we've found the WET-11 to be unreliable and have started using the Senao/Engenious CB-3 bridge instead. It's higher power and is much more reliable. It does have a failure mode, but that mode doesn't impact its passing packets. Generally, when a WET fails, it needs a power cycle.
For thin coax, keep the lengths short. You can purchase, by the way, RP-SMA (the connector on the WET) to N male or female adaptors from Hyperlink (AXA-NMSM for N male) and then use a length of LMR-400 to the antenna. That might be lower loss than using a longer LMR-195 pigtail.
My (possibly flawed) $0.02...

Tony,
I haven't seen much improvement from reflectors I've built - maybe it's
because I have two left hands. 8-) But I have had success with the
patch antenna at http://www.hyperlinktech.com/web/re14p.php.
One complication of adding an antenna to a WET11 is getting a pigtail
with the correct length and connectors for both ends. (Right, Paul?) RE14P-RSP has the right connector for a WET11 and a good (5') length.
