[Elecraft] Cable length for KPA/KAT100 remote; importance of KPA100 upgrade

[Don Wilhelm]

Chris,

I don't think you will get any smoke, but if you get "strange 
happenings" - like the KPA100 is not recognized, or doesn't give a 
response back to the K2 in sufficient time (command flow over the 
AUXBUS) and things get "mixed up" or you get ERR 080, the cure will be 
to shorten the cable.
