[ICOM] USB > serial HELP NEEDED for 2720 T81 others

[Philip, KO6BB]

Hi,

I have a Belkin USB/232 adapter cable,  bought at Staples for about 39.99 
that works well with my Icom R-75.  Not cheap but never given a lick of 
trouble.  I understand that many of the 'really' cheap ones ordered directly 
from Asia can be troublesome as they're not fully "compliant".
