I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and?no DB-9 RS-232 serial port
connector.
How does this group of guys reccommend that I conect the computer to my old
FT-1000MP...plain MP.
Which RS-232 Serial to UBS connector do you suggest?
Thanks, Tom K5IID

Tom,
I have used a USB serial adapter model number CP-US-03 . I am not sure about
the manufacturer's name but I have found it on the Internet using Google.
The company logo looks like the letters USB with an arrow through them.
I have not used it with any operating system but Windows XP so I have no
idea if there would be a problem using it with Windows 7.
Tod, K0TO

I haven't used it with my 1000MP but the Tripp-Lite Keyspan USA-19HS has
worked fine with my laptop and FT-857 (the little computer goes with the
little radio; the big computer, which has a serial port, goes with the
big radio.) The advantage of the Keyspan is not so much the hardware
(there really aren't that many USB/Serial chip designs) as it is the
driver -- the Windows driver is very good and there is a nifty
configuration utility that lets you assign COM port numbers,
fiddle with timing options to make cranky interfaces work (I never had
to), run diagnostics, etc.
It does occur to me that I've only used it on 32-bit Windows systems.
The Tripp-lite website shows they've had 64-bit drivers since 2007 so I
doubt there's a problem, but I have no personal experience.

Tom,
I've used an RS232 to USB converter w/my 1000MP and a variety of computers
and haven't had any trouble at all (and they're cheap). It should work just
fine for you.
Good luck,
Dave Cohen, N7TC

Dear Tom K5IID:
I use an adapter USB to DB9 RS232 sold by Rosewill. It allows a tiny
netbook to communicate with AIM4170C. I have yet to use with FT1K because
the old radio computer has a series port. However that computer is now very
long-in-the-tooth and is in great need to be replaced. While I might move
the RS232 card that is in the present computer (originally used to run
multiple RS232 devices), the card may no longer be compatible - so I will
probably use a Rosewill converter.
The price was so low that I bought several and thus I have a package in
front of me: part number seems to be "RCW-617" the product number seems to
be 8 98745 01557 7. It only has a short (30 cm) cable, but comes with a
disk.
The device itself seems not to have identification beyond a FCC sticker.
www.rosewill.com
Let us all know what you end up using. 73, Mac N8TT
