[Elecraft] [KX3] KXPA100 Control Cable Extension

[Don Wilhelm]

Chris,

I am not certain what you are referring to as a CAT5 coupler, so the 
answer is maybe.
If the "CAT5 coupler" is an RS-232 to Ethernet converter, it should 
work, but if it simply takes the RS-232 signals and simply connects them 
directly to the wires of a CAT5 cable, there will be a limit to the 
distance you can add before you encounter errors.
