Sam, Since the computer to K2 cable carries only RS-232 signals, I should think 25 feet should pose no problem - why not just try it and report the results. It certainly will not break anything if you construct the cable as shown in the KIO2 or KPA100 manuals.
However, do not use a standard computer serial cable - IT WILL CAUSE BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN TO YOUR K2 - the cable should have only TXD, RXD, and signal ground lines connected (and the shield at the K2 end), plus the handshaking jumper at the computer end. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Hi I was wondering if there would be a problem using a 25 foot length of > cable from my K2 to the computer. > 73 and Thanx Sam KF4YOX > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
