[Elecraft] USB -> Serial adaptor

[Ed Long]

Dave,

I have used a Belkin F5U103 very successfully with my laptop with USB. =
Unfortunately not many of the computer stores carry these but I ordered =
mine from the Belkin website. Got it in a few days and it works very =
well. While I have the serial port for my K2 built and installed, just =
haven't tried it yet. But, everything else I have tried the F5U103 works =
great including GPS receivers.

No affiliation with Belkin, just a successful user.

Hope this helps.

72,

  Hi folks,

  My new system ( a laptop) has not got a serial port!!
  This leaves me in a quandary (terrible place!!) for using K2 Remote or =
Dans'
  K2S program... No can do!!!
  Has anybody tried a USB to serial adaptor?? And have you had any luck =
with
  either of these programs using it??
  I'd like to know *before* I spend the bucks...

  Thanks
