   When I talked to Sbig about extending the cable that leads
to the head of the ST4, they said that I should not extend the length of
the cable at all as any longer and there will be timing problems between
the control box and the head.  I have not tried on their
advice.  I do intend to try as I want to have a short cable lead
from the head to our pier and then a hidden cable run to the control box
making a cable that would end up being of a longer length.  But
since I have not done this, I cannot say if it would work.
