[Elecraft] USB/3.5mm Extension?

[Jack Brindle]

Yes. At the point for the extension, the signals are RS-232, not USB. You should be able to use a much longer cable if need-be.  Be sure to read through the manual - it should give you a much better feel for each connection.

Enjoy the KAT500!

Can I use a 10 foot 3.5mm TRS male to female extension cable to extend the USB connector? My computer is farther away from the antenna switching than the included cable can stretch. I think the REMOTE capability might be in my future, but for now just trying a simple set up.
