I would suggest that you use a mixer or some such device at the remote end
and then you can have a line level signal to feed to the line input. I think
you will have problems with long runs of the low level mic signals.

Subject: [TenTec] Remote Pegasus
I would appreciate comments from anyone who has operated their Pegasus from
a distance. I'm considering trying to run my Pegasus in my basement shack
(where the power, antenna and ground connections are) from the comfort my
home office on the first floor above where it's not so dark and damp <g>.
I figure the run will be around the 25 foot limit for RS232 (although I've
seen it go much further), so I don't see a problem for the computer control.
I also don't think that there will be a problem with the keyer input. I have
some 20 foot mini stereo extension cables that should work for that. I'm
mostly concerned with the audio both to and from. I don't run QRO and have
never had a problem with RF, but with 25 feet of audio cabling, I may be
asking for trouble. Does anyone have a source for long 5 pin DIN to 5 pin
DIN cables suitable for the ACCY jack?
73,
Mark
