Paul N1BUG,
I have an OR2800, with ~ 400 ft cable run. 270 ft is in conduit
underground, and then 130 ft up the tower.
I use 12-2 + ground UF direct burial romex in the conduit and up the
tower for the motor leads, and 2 runs of RG-6 for the pulse counter;
center conductors for the signals, and the shields are bonded together
at the top and bottom of the tower, and also at the shack entry single
point ground system. No cable problems since installation in 2009;
however I have had to replace the pulse counter in the rotator once.
--Scott, W5WZ
