Subject: Yaesu G-2800 rotator control line

My rotator is 102 feet high in a rohn 25 tower with the yaesu-supplied control 
cable attached. Although the cable supplied with the rotator is 130 feet (40 
meters) long with the two connectors attached, I will cut it at the bottom of 
the tower to go into a big metal box for feedline/control line connecting. Then 
I will use additional cable, undefined as of yet,  in 3" ABS tubing underground 
to the outside wall of the shack where it will again go into a metal box (ks7p 
company) and connect into the shack equipment. 

The distance from the bottom of the tower to the shack outside wall is 240 
feet. That combined with the up the tower cable and 25 feet in the shack itself 
means a total approximate length of 370 feet.

Yaesu personal said the rotator will not work at that distance.

What do you recommend I use to finish the project?
