[Elecraft] USB to Serial converter

[Daniel Reynolds]

I had good success using one off of eBay that I recently purchased for use with
a PSK31 interface (RTS/DTR keying).

Here's the auction...

Obviously - you pay it primarly through the shipping/insurance charge ($12). I
won it Oct 13th and it arrived the 16th in a basic manilla envelope. The
adapter comes in a retail package (plastic front, cardboard backing) with a
mini-CD with the drivers for Win98-XP, Mac, and Linux. It worked fine out of
the box. I've used it with my WinXP laptop that has no serial port.

The model I received was more of a grey translucent plastic (not like the blue
transclucent pictured in the auction).
