    A friend extended his. Living room sit, Radio in basement. I think twenty five feet. It gets rf in it on 20 meters with the amp on. Otherwise.. Totally fine. Talks on it everyday. The good cable ain't cheap though. Monster cable from tiger elec he used.

    One wonders if one of those K-Com (or similar) telephone filters could be adapted to this application and used to knock out the RFI along the control cable.

    For a long run (Basement to above floor) make sure you use "Riser" CAT6 (Or 5). In both locations, terminate it to a wall plate, and use a patch cable from radio to wall; and then from wall to head.

    CAT6 should reject RF pretty well. Especially the rise cable. Just don't use a really long patch cable (Over 25ft violates the CAT spec)
