    "content": "Hi Scott,\n\nI assume you are using RS232 from the PC to the controller? It would be \nchallenging to have a 200' serial connection on copper. The first RS232 \nspecification talks about 50' maximum length at 19k2 but in practice \nthis can be higher when speed is dropped. However, worth a try and if it \ndoesn't work you can consider RS232 extenders. These typically use Cat5 \ncable.\n\nBR,\n--\n/\\/\\arc\n\nScott Townley schreef:\n> Contemplating my Yaesu G-5400 and not so fond of the idea of running 2x \n> 6x18AWG cables nearly 200'...(more accurately, paying for them).\n> Has anyone ever put the controller at the antenna base and instead ran the \n> computer<->controller wires the long distance between the computer \n> interface and the control box?
