[Elecraft] USB to Serial converter

[Joe - aa4nn]

Hi Chas,
Take a look at www.n3fjp.com for CW interface circuits.  You can build this 
little circuit inside the DB9 shell then attach it to the end of the USB-Com 
cable.  A USB-Com converter cable is also offered at n3fjp altho you can get 
one most anywhere.  These come with a windows driver but Win XP has a 
default driver as well.

Something new and interesting is a windows "Winkey CW Keyer Kit" at 
http://k1el.tripod.com/wkinfo.html  This device insures perfectly timed CW 
keying which you don't often get straight out of windows due to timing 
considerations.

I have done the USB-Com keying and am building the Winkey kit when it 
arrives.

73, Joe, aa4nn
