Just asking, seems like that's why they'd make that statement.
That would be my guess. Otherwise I'm not sure why they would specify a minimum cable length. Due to the power level being so low on most mobile cards, the SWR would probably not make the final stage actually burn out. Most likely degraded performace would be worst case. But would I run it on my card? No.
