Hi Jim, >Makes a pretty clean installation, although one of the controller manufacturers on here recommended against using computer serial cables as interconnects for controllers
That'd be us. A PC cable consisting of two D-sub connectors and a long, 25-conductor cable enclosed within a single shield has a lot of capacitance between conductors and allows a surprising amount of crosstalk. Years ago we were getting reports that the controllers weren't fully muting DTMF, or there was an echo on the repeat audio caused by the audio delay, things like that. In each case the customer was using a "computer cable" rather than individually-shielded RX and TX audio lines, and that's what led to the investigation and recommendation. 73, Bob Bob Schmid, WA9FBO, Member S-COM, LLC PO Box 1546 LaPorte CO 80535-1546 970-416-6505 voice 970-419-3222 fax www.scomcontrollers.com **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)
