I have no idea whether this is a possibility or not. I've just come across it
in another forum and haven't studied it in detail.

A couple of possibilities:
Use a USB/Serial converter at the tuner end and employ a USB over CAT5 extender
device/cable to get there. CAT5 cable is cheap. There are also RS422/RS232
converters out there. RS422 is good for about 4000 feet as I remember and the
converters are not very expensive.
More expensive but more flexible is a run of duplex fiber optic cable with
fiber/Ethernet converters on each end. I use this method and run the fiber in
the same conduit as the coaxes between the radios and the tuners/amps. Fiber of
course ensures no radiated noise. Plus if you want to control something else at
the far end it’s easy to expand.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Remote KAT500
My tower and garden shed are about 150 feet away. I have LMR400 buried inside
some PEX pipe. Would like to use the KAT500 inside the shed...not sure how
well a serial connection that distance would work!
