I hadn't considered that! Is there a preferred way of doing this over
longer distances? I'm sure I'm not the only person who's needed to
remote the amp.

As a homebrew project, if you want "robust" and "just works", it's hard
to beat
CAN-bus. A quick Google confirms that for a baud rate of 250K, it will
work up to
820 feet.

Using a network connection would be a very good idea. Auxbus is not
meant to go 20 feet, and indeed will probably fail at that distance.
Thus using an alternate method to get frequency info to the amplifier
would be a good idea.

Hi Peter,
Contact Bob, N6TV. He can make good quality DB 15 cables that are
shielded.
Let me know when you are ready and I can help. Also you can do it as
we discussed on the phone via the network, running a CAT 6 cable.
Call me if you have questions.

I need to move my KPA-1500 into the basement, and I've got an
electrician coming to put in the new outlet next week. But the only
tricky issue now is finding the correct cable to run to the amp from
my Y-Box to provide frequency/band data, etc. I will need a cable run
of about 20 feet, which will need to run behind the wall, down into a
crawlspace, then through a concrete wall to the new rack.
With sub-optimal eyesight and shaky hands, I'm not sure I'd by much
good making one, but if they're not available easily in the
aftermarket I guess I can give it a shot. Does anybody know where to
find a pre-made ~20ish foot long cable, or if not, (a) what pinouts
do I need, (b) where to source the correct cable to do this properly,
and (c) what connectors-I'm guessing DB15M and DB15F?
