KPA1500 connecting cable to K3

Elecraft mailing list
Is there any provision for extending the standard Elecraft cable that is only about 3 ft to accommodate placement of the 1500 a little further away?


6 or 7 ft. would be ideal in my situation.


73,

Art,

The KPA1500 to K3 cable is 5 feet long.
Yes, it can be extended, but about 10 feet is the limit.  The limiting
factor is the response time on the single wire communications bus over
the AUXBUS line.

 I purchased two aux cables so I could put the amp on a separate side table with my Acom 2000A.  It was interesting that I never got a direct answer on theexact length of a single cable, hi, but the two cables together were a perfect decision.
