[Elecraft] OT-USB Serial Adapter

[Dave Yarnes]

Grant and All,

As a follow-up, I just received an email from Buy.com with their latest 
"specials".  They have a Keyspan USB Serial Adapter, model USA 19HS, on sale 
for $25 with free shipping.  The regular price is supposedly $40.  There may 
be better bargains out there, but I do see a lot of these devices advertised 
at around the $40 price.
