PhD semaphore error

[Nathan_Pembs]

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this

So I could have my laptop indoors while I do my imaging, I bought a 5m usb extension to use with my qyh5 and PhD.

However every time I connect to phd I get a box saying "error 131 semaphore signal timed out", but I don't get the error when I use the supplied shorter usb cable.

Is this error appearing because the usb extension needs to be an active one?

More than likely!

I've downloaded more up to date Ascom drivers and it hasn't happened again since (touch wood).

If it does, I'll get a shorter USB cable
