Thanks Don. At the very least, if this is a critical issue it ought to be tested and the results noted. There's also the issue of cable capacitance, which can be a big deal for high speed lines that are not impedance-matched (like RS232). CAT5 has a big advantage there too -- it's pretty low capacitance as cables go. Perhaps Jack can tell us if that circuit is impedance matched (that is, treated as a transmission line). 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
