[Elecraft] PC Serial Port cards...

Sun Nov 2 12:00:07 2003

Steve,

I have used about 5 different PCI serial card to evaluate amateur radio
software (callsignsoftware.com).
I am currently using a 4 port unit with XP and I think it works better than
the onboard serial card on my Dell.

The manufacture I am using can be found at www.byterunner.com

Now USB to serial adapters is another story. We have found them to be
finicky and only a few that work.

73,

Anxiously awaiting the K2 for software review !!
