Got mine last week..
I had a dickens of a time getting it to work, then I realized I had a bad
encoder.. BAH! I called TT and had a replacement in 2 days and zing -- it
came right up.. I would STRONGLY suggest a shielded 3 or 4 conductor wire
if you are running any length... Radio Snack has a good four conductor
double shield 30' wire for about 8 or 9 bucks.. part # 278-777 It is a
little stiff but a great cable for going across the room to my pc!!
