I am interested in using a USB over Cat5/Cat6 extender for connecting from the RSA518 to my computer. This would enable me to limit the RF cable length for my spectrum measurement collections. I wanted to ask if there are any known issues/bugs/glitches that may occur trying to do this, or if any errors may occur to the data collected. Thank you.
