Probably, LinkPlanner is pretty smart. I assume you don't want to use 2 antennas. There are some licensed radios now that I think can do 2 x 80 MHz channels in a single core, like from Aviat or SIAE maybe, I don't know if this gets around the splitter cost and performance issues. I may have that feature completely wrong, I haven't looked into it. There could also be a performance hit by using the same xmt power amp for 160 MHz. I also haven't checked out the full feature set of the new PTP850C, the only thing I know it has is SFP+.

I wonder if Link Planner already accounted for the additional losses when I selected "Co Polar" on the dropdown.
