[NLRS] strengthening 5760 MHz transverter

[John Toscano]

I have a Down East Microwave transverter for 5760 MHz, but it is a "budget
model" with the high gain low noise preamp and 2 watt PA section "cut off".
I got to wondering if something like this WiFi booster would work if put
between the transverter and feedhorn:

It appears that it is a 3.5db noise figure 11-14db gain preamp on receive,
and a 15-18db gain power amplifier (from which I imagine that 100mW in
would yield 1-2 watts of power output). I assume that it must auto-switch
between receive and transmuit since it is designed to connect to the
antenna port of a wireless access point. I suppose for $90 I could just buy
one and try it, but wonder if someone sees a "fatal flaw" that I am missing
that would doom this to failure.
