It is a small amount indeed. In a closed system where you have a link
budget, it is relatively easy to compensate for loss and have a budget.
You
can increase amplifier gain, shorten coax runs, decrease coax loss, etc.
In
an open system such as a repeater, we don't have the luxury of being able
to
control what happens after the antenna. So, the more you can squeeze out
of
the system, the more usable it is (generally). While .15 is not much, many
of us are interested in making the system as sensitive as we can within
reason. So if you pick up a few little things at .15 and .25 or so, pretty
soon you have a small gain. I would be more concerned about desense
between the TX and RX with that coax than I might be about the small loss.
