Hi Zeeb ,
I agree 100% with your question , why ask folks what should be done , only to do it some other , pre planned way instead ?
As to extending the wires going to the satellite RXs ; If the manufacturer recommends no greater than 36" , they did so for a reason . Now unless I knew for fact what that reason was , and knew that it was for example they didn't want to make longer ones because of little demand VS something like a signal loss issue at the longer length , there is no way I'd take the gamble with my plane and go playing Engineer as though I knew more than the folks who designed and built the equipment . I would instead seek to locate all the electronics in such a way that no satellite needed to be further than 36" away from the main RX , even if that 3 feet doesn't represent as far as it could go , length of aircraft wise .
