[1000mp] *** FT1000MP Rig Control via USB/Serial Adapter ***

[Jeff - N3YEA]

I bought one of West Mountain Radios USB to Serial Converters and control my
MP MK V with it , with no problems what so ever. I use my one serial port to

go to the digital interface. Yes - I believe most computers do come standard
with the fax/modem board installed.

I am buying a new PC for the shack. All new systems seem to have  only one 
serial port. Ideally, I would like to have three. One to connect the  MP, a 
second port for KAM (DX PacketCluster), and a third port for a dial-up
modem for 
faxing. I have a Quadra amp attached to the MP and love the automatic  band 
switching from the PC logging program (HyperLog). I also plan to upgrade to
a 
better rig control and logging program (not sure which one yet). Can I
connect  
my MP (and for that matter the KAM) via a serial to USB adapter or are
there 
issues? Thanks.
