[Kenwood] Old rs232 serial port

Hi,

USB easier for most users to deal with, but offers less easily accessed 
control. Smaller, cheaper connector.

Adapters you require easily found in North America and EU; most are Asian 
manufacture; should be available in 4F1. Around $10-$50, depending on what 
you buy.

Can anybody tell me how they managed this? Is there an adaptor that converts the rs232 to USB? The only adaptors I saw here are DB9 to din etc.
