All I wanted to mention that for those that want long RS232 runs for devices (Steppir, Rotator, Elecraft Amp),
I have been using these commercially for some time with great success. They are made in the US and are pretty reasonably priced at about $35 each. Of course, you need a pair of them. Mike va3mw http://www.rs485.com/prs422s.html The RS422S is a fast Async bi-directional RS232 <=> RS422 interface converter that will operate at data rates up to 115.2Kbps. The unit has jumpers termination, RS232 DTE/DCE selection and, TTL/CMOS operation. The unit has two RJ11/12 connectors an a pin header for power, common TTL/CMOS TX data and RX data. The RS422S is designed for office and/or indoor applications (non-isolated). A pair of units and a 6-conductor reversing "telephone style" cable can be used to form an RS232 "extension cord" for extended operation beyond the RS232 specification. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
