Hi and Happy New Year

If you have a requirement to be able to control USB devices up to 50M distance I have been using the OREI USB-EX165-KUSB 2 Extender.

No divers or installation are required, just plug the PC end into a USB port and connect the remote end using Cat 5/6 cable this is a direct cable and not through any IP network/switch. The remote end requires a mains supply for the plug power supply, once done you now have two USB ports available.

I have been using this device to be able to use my Lime SDR unit and also my Pico Tuner without issue.

These units the normal cost around £60.00 but they are available brand new from

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... k&_sacat=0
And are listed at £3.99

I have not connection with either the seller or OREI other than a satisfied customer.
I hope this information may be of use to someone.

Good spot Keith, that will open up some options....
Happy New Year

Not that cheap price any more.

The cheap ones sold out, there were 20+ left from the seller when I bought mine. Hopefully lots are now winging their way to BATC members

I agree with Gareth. Good spot and mine works fine!
Latest version can be bought for around £550 but is USB3!!
So 2 for £10 not bad....

Thanks for the link Keith, mine arrived yesterday and a cursory test shows it works as expected. Very kind of you to point us in that direction.
