[TowerTalk] RMC-1000 remote - what type of cable to run?

[Howard W6HDG]

Mike - good to know!  So I probably should not be running the 
RMC-1000 cable in a 3" PVC pipe alongside my coax, Steppir and rotor 
cables into a single NEMA box on the outside of my shack wall?  That 
is what I was planning for.....  Howard W6HDG
