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

The RMC-1000 requires a 7 conductor cable. There is very little current flowing since it only controls relays in the external unit. The only concern is that the cable carries 120VAC so it should be rated for that. I have a 100' run of 7 conductor, 20 AWG cable run inside of the conduit that carries the 120VAC power to the motor.

I've got a US Tower MA-770MDP on order with the RMC-1000 remote.  I
want to prewire my shack before the tower arrives.  Does anyone know
the specifics of the required cable - how many conductors and
sizes?  I don't imagine that US Tower will be providing this cable,
will it?  Tnx  Howard W6HDG
