[Elecraft] RS-232 over WiFi

[mzilmer at magellangps.com]

I used B&B's ES1N.  Be careful with most of the Serial-WiFi adapters.  Their packet size may be VERY small, so there is a lot of overhead and there may be stuttering using Terminal Mode with the utility.  The data goes through, no problem, but the packet transfer timing is up to the adapter.

Lantronix products are fine too.  I know a couple of the US leads, and they used some type of adaptive algorithm to differentiate between bursty and streaming data on the fly.

I am considering to place the KAT-500 outdoor near the antenna like Knut AB2TC has done (and reported to this group).
Having looked on the internet for RS-232 to WiFi adapters I can find them in the price range from as low as 40 USD to as much as 350 USD.
I wasn't aware of the variety!
I wonder if someone in this group has any experience (good or bad) with RS-232 to WiFi units from:
USConverters
Nordfield
USBGear
ATC
Lantronix
Moxa
Digi
USR IOT
