[GPS_Standard] USB to Serial Port

[Bert, VE2ZAZ]

Hello Steve,

Any adapter will do. This is a simple three-wire communication at 4800 bps.
Ports 1 to 4 are supported. No handshaking or flow control.

Regards,

Bert, VE2ZAZ

There are a lot of those adaptors on the market.  Do a Google search for
"USB to serial".

They're not too expensive, either.  Here's just one (picked at random
from Google search):
