Thank you
The USB cable will be under 15 feet as I'm basically planning to put it into a
finished storeroom in my basement

thing to watch is the length of the USB cable. Over about 15 feet or so (I
believe the spec is 5 meters) you’ll need an active repeater cable or some
alternate connection method. I use an Ethernet to serial port server with a
fiber link between the desk and the closet. Two KPAs and two KATs. Ken K6MR

Subject: [Elecraft] Remoting the KPA500 & KAT500? More and more I'm
considering remoting my KPA500 out of the shack,mostly becuse of the heat and
secondly because of the fan noise.
In doing so it would proably make sense to move the KAT500 along with it.
Then it would be a matter of routing one coax from the K3 to th amp, and a USB
cable with a hub for the two usb to serial adapters for the amp and tuner to
plug into.
I already use the control programs to oprrate the amp andtjner and rarely touch
them.
I figured I'd ask first, since I'm pretty sure others have done this and could
let me know if there is anything I should watch out for.
Thank you
