Hi,

I am one of those customers interested in outdoors, remote location of the KAT500. I have a suspicion that I may be too late in the ordering queue (a day and a half or so after orders opened) that I may not be able do much experimentation before winter weather sets in, but one can always hope. One of the challenges will be to communicate with it over a distance of about 100' and I expect I have to use an Ethernet serial server that I already possess.
