Due to some temporary relocation of my ham shack for a home refurbish, I am using my KPA500 remotely with the KPA500 remote software server running on a spare netbook near the amp, and the client running on a computer near the rig. There is one 100 ft long RG214 Coax between the KPA500 and the rig for RF and one 100 ft small coax with RCA connectors between them for PTT. The amp and autotuner are at the antenna feed and grounded well. The rig away on the other side of the house not so well RF grounded, but there is no RFI so far. That enables me to see the KPA500 status and change the band on the PC in the shack. They don't yet seem to have the remote software for the KPA1500 yet, but it is supposed to be coming. I would probably accept visible conduit to run power if you can't run it in the walls. As part of the refurbish, drywall was taken out and replaced and the texture matched so new plumbing and electrical could go in. They also replaced insulation. That worked out well, but it was expensive. There is not really any such thing as can't if you have deep enough pockets! 73, Mark W7MLG ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
