USB B to USB B for remotely mounted FT-857D

Looking to run FT8 on my 857D that’s remotely mounted behind the back seat in my truck.

Anyone have success with a 6’ (or so) USB cable to connect the Digirig to a laptop?

Of course for stationary use, no driving and FT8’in here.

That’s well within the USB specs and worth a try.
It’s going to be a USB-C on Digirig’s end and likely USB-A on your computer’s side.

Thanks Denis, I have one headed this way; will report back once it’s sorted out.

I recommend several ferrite beads on the usb cable near the computer end.
