He text me back about his set up and said that the only difference he could see was that he dropped 10 ft out of the box so no room for voltage drop. Before i drop a new line i was wondering if any one else had or knows anything about this issue.
Please let us know how it works out. 50' should not be an issue with the right sized cable.
Long arc, short arc, heliarc and in-the-dark!
