Nearly all coax is quite lossy at those frequencies, for a run more than a few feet / a meter. If you can get it to work at all, performance will be quite poor.

A better solution is to get the transceiver as close to the antenna as possible, then do a long cable run from that.

A similar thing is done for satellite antennas - ever heard of an LNB? They amplify and downshift the signal right at the antenna, to mitigate the losses of a cable run.
