Terry, I am using a 2800 with over 300 ft of conductor. The pulses feed thru
150 ft of rotor conductor cable into 2 conductors of Romex type buried cable
with no problems. I suspect your problem might be 60 hz pickup along the
shield. I think you would be better off with a balanced pair of conductors
to the reed switch. Probaably 2 conductor shielded or a pair of coaxes would
be ideal. 73, Dan, N5AR

Subject: [TowerTalk] M2 Readout Loosing Pulses ?
It looks like I am having the problem I was warned might happen .... with a
long run of rotor cable (abt 275 feet of RG-58U for reed switch) I am
loosing
pulse counts and the direction indicator is loosing calibration. Anybody
else
had this problem and found a fix for it ?
TNX,
Terry W6RU
