If you put the RX front-end at the remote and the back-end at the house, the
big issue will be dynamic range, especially with a crowded band like 160.
Since the filtering will be at the back-end, the communication link will
have to be 200khz wide with 100db+ dynamic range. You may be better off to
put the reciever at the remote, bring back audio, and control the radio with
a data link that could be as slow as 19200. You can do all that with
multi-conductor telephone type cable.
