    Count me in
    Yes and no. The chronys TTL signal has a distance limitation of about 10 feet, while RS232 can go up to 50 feet (~15m) although most specs will say ~25 feet, USB is about 15 feet. So 50 feet is a theoretical maximum (chrony > RS232 adapter > extension > PC)
    You can get RS232 signal boosters to extend the range but you would need 2 possibly 3 of these.

    Yes please

    Hi,

    I'd like one including USB adapter too if you take paypal.
    I'd be happy to pay a little more for p&p, since I'm on the continent

    Cheers,

    Johan Daes

    You would probably get away with further with 232 TBH, we used to run it silly distances (I was an AMX programmer till I saw the light, got paid a damn sight more and have more fun...chav trapping)

    Looking at the chrony from the front, on the left hand side of the display unit (actually on the side of the chrony if you like) you should see a hole. If your chrony is pre 2001 (iirc) then it won't be fitted.

    You can see the hole in this pic (just)
