I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "best practices" pointer, but if you need to extend the distance between your PX-1000 and the main unit beyond the 15' max OR if you need to extend your DC4 or DC8 beyond the 10' max distance, I have detailed instructions on how to do it on my build thread on page 8. Just click on the little red house on top of my post and go to page 8 of the thread. I extended my DC8 to 100 feet with no problem and my PX-1000 to 45 feet. I'm not sure how much further I could go, since I didn't try, but at least to these lengths the solution works. Cheers and great thread.
