[Ham-Mac] usb to serial cable and driver

[Kevin Bottorff]

I ordered a keyspan USA-19HS today I quess I have to wait to use your software till it comes in. Im new to ham so is Aether a good program to use? to start with I just want rig control and something to help me log contacts. I do have a LOTW account. After I get comfortable with my rig and more experience I want to do some contesting. So will your software work for me? I already downloaded it but the cable I had apparently does not work. Thanks for any and all help
