[Elecraft] Remoting A KAT500

[David Inger]

This topic may have been covered before, but I can't find it specifically in
the archives.  I am thinking of remoting my KAT500 ATU and using it at the
base of a non-resonant vertical.  My ideal is to install the tuner in a NEMA
raintight box and powering with dc sent down the coax with bias-T's at both
ends.  I will have to rely on RF sensing since it would impractical to use
control cables for the 60 ft run.
 
Any thoughts?
