Larry--my run to my Yaesu 1000 is about 230 feet.  I used Belden 8 =
conductor, and doubled up 2 pair.  I think you need 5 conductor.  You =
should be ok by just adding what you need of 8 conductor.  I also hooked =
up a 2800 (or is it 2300) controller to test my motor and it worked OK.  =
Look in your "Pocket Ref" book for how much current and voltage you can =
put through that cable and see what the drop is for the length you need. =
 You should be OK.
