[Elecraft] KIO2 Daisy Chaining

[Don Wilhelm]

JT,

Yes, you can build up the entire daisy chain for the transverters.  That 
is what a 'Daisy chain' implies, one connector is just as good as any 
other - the signals are sent to all the 'listeners'.  If you experience 
any problems, it will be with the total cable length and the 
signalling/response times required for the AUXBUS signalling.  Keep the 
total cable length to less than 6 feet for reliable operation - actually 
tyr to keep the length to the minimum feasible.
