[Kenwood] TS 850 to USB ??

Fri, 22 Mar 2002 07:56:47 -0500

Check out the W2GEE cable - do a search with Google and you'll find it. 
I think they're $39.95 yet, and it comes with a wrap plug and diagnostic
program for checkout of the interface.  That cable connects to a serial
port.  To convert that to a USB port, buy one of the USB to serial port
converter cables.  They're available on eBay, and saw one in the local
computer shop yesterday.  The cheapest, around $15-17, works but you
can  use only one of these per PC due to a design flaw.  The ones
selling for $25-30 are done properly and you can supposedly use up to 32
of these on one PC.  I've tested the cheaper one on my TS-950 and it
worked just fine.
