[Elecraft] USB to RS232 cable or adapter

[Richard Fjeld]

In the past, I thought one or two of these worked okay until certain conditions happened and something would burp, or worse.  It was the adapter. A good deal is still possible, but will take time to prove.

Dick, n0ce

  Some of the ones from China work but some do not at all with a lot of my
  programs.

  Don't ask how I know or the "Deal?" I got on them.

  The issue of USB to serial converters comes up quite often. It has just
  recently in the last few days. While hunting for another item I stumbled
  across this:

  http://www.amazon.com/Serial-RS232-Cable-FTDI-chipset/dp/B005WZZUZI/ref=sr_1
  _3?ie=UTF8&qid=1373840589&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+serial+ftdi+two+rs232

  USB to two separate RS232 ports using the preferred FTDI chipset for a puny
  $8.

  So, ordered but untried.
