Subject: AW: [YaesuTuner] FC-40, Control Cable Extension

Hi all,
I had the same problem a few month ago, looked around, found the old Mac
cables stateside for a very high price. So... Bought the connector (male and
female), 15 m cable and used my old sondering iron... And after 1 hour I had
my cable. It works perfect as extention and in total I do have 20m of remote
cabel betwen FT 897 (/ 857 and FC 40
Greetings from Munich

Betreff: [YaesuTuner] FC-40, Control Cable Extension

Hi All,
I refer to the FC-40 Control Cable which is just 5 meters long (abt.
16/17 feet).

It is an 8 poles shielded cable straight wired, ended with 2x mini-Din8
plugs. I wonder how long can it be extended without to cause
interferences/malfunctions to the FC-40 respectively to the FT857/897.

Yaesu/Vertex don't say a word about it.

I wonder if someone has done such an extension as well as where he found the
extension cable (maybe in Mac "old" serial cables, unfortunately hard to
find in EU), or perhaps just cutting the original cable and extending it by
means of shielded connectors and a random lenght of shielded 8 poles cable?

Many thanks in advance for any possible suggestion!
I apologize for "my" english :o)
