[TowerTalk] M2 Readout Loosing Pulses ?

[Rich Hallman - N7TR]

Hi Terry...

I just finished installing a 350ft run for a M2'd 2800DC.  I ran two
runs of #12 Burial Romex (250ft roll for $45 at Home Depot) from the
house to the tower (About 200 ft each, total of 6 Conductors - but only
used 4), then used 6 conductor #18 (From Cable X-perts) for the tower
and under the house to the shack.  Doubled up two of the conductors for
the power, and the others for the reed switch sensing on the 6 conductor
cable.

So far it has worked flawlessly, but I've only had it working for the
past day or so.

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
