Has anyone managed to extend the distance from the computer to the flex 5000 to say 100'. My preferred operating position is on the opposite side of the house from the antennas. Preferred cabling is cat5e or 75 ohm coax but not strictly needed. There seem to be a number of extender solutions on the market so I wonder if any have been tried.
then again, maybe this is not the right question. The presence of audio inputs and outputs on the back makes me think that complete remote operation isn't possible through just the firewire. I suppose I should read the manual.

Chris,
The design limit of the FireWire cable is 3 meters (approx feet) there are some like Granite Digital that has up to 32 foot cable
http://www.granitedigital.com/firewire6pinto6pin-7ininternalpatchcablewled.aspx
But the use of these longer cables is not supported with PowerSDR.
Here is an ideal, you can use a remote desktop of one version or the other and connect remotely with just about anything that supports remote, Linux, OSX , OSi , many are using iPads for remote desktops, and Skype for moving the audio back and forth.. Here is a KC article using an iPad and Teamviewer..

Hope this helps.

| It is a shame that this radio does not have a CAT 5 interface instalaled it wiuld make it easy remote control it. Somehow it makes little sense to design a state of the art radio without such an interface.
