That doesn't apply to inline pieces does it? Only ones that don't terminate
to anything....
Otherwise every pigtail would be a disaster in the making....

Brian,
This is still a seriously bad idea. Sorry. Unterminated pieces of
coax attached to the system will behave as filters. For instance, a piece
of coax that is 1/4 wavelength long acts as a DEAD SHORT if the end of it
is open. If the end of the coax is shorted then it acts as an infinite
resistance (see THE ARRL HANDBOOK on transmission line and filter theory).
If you just throw arbitrary length pieces of coax into the system, you'll
be adding all kinds of band pass/band reject filters into your system. If
the pieces are just the right length, it'll work. At the very least
you'll loose a few decibels due to the additional capacitance in the spare
coax.

Either I am a bad explainer or there are some bad readers here.
Lets start again. Lately I have had issues because WiFi sucks (wish I
could afford proprietary) moving on.....I have been using different
radio cards and have ended up having to switch the pigtails from u.fl to
mmcx or visa versa. It sucks to cut away mastic and reseal these n
female connectors on the bottom of my enclosure. I would like to leave
two pigtails attached to my lmr400 n male antenna cable. Then inside the
enclosure I could grab whatever pigtail I want to use with the "next
greatest card" that I hope will fix everything.
Probably what I should find is a u.fl to mmcx adapter and a mmcx to u.fl
adapter so I can adapt. Expanding from that, is there any such "WISP
emergency include all cable adapter kit" that exists?

I've been told to never do this. The output of the transmitting radio
will totally deafen the receiving one. It might work for just a few
customers at a time (or with something that would sinc like the Moto
products) but I think that much usage on the network would kill it
pretty fast.
I've used splitters for two antennas per radio, that seems to work ok.

I want to go from two cards to one antenna (wouldn't both be on at same
time).. I guess I want a y, to go from 2 n male to 1 n female.
