[ICOM] IC7000 Remote Options?

[Edward Dickinson III]

I've successfully used a powered USB hub between two long runs of USB
cables.

Extending the USB end of the cable would be complicated.  There should be
little issue extending the 3.5mm (serial) end of the cable.    The serial
CI-V data is quite robust and relatively low speed.
