One site suggested that these were more reliable than the Prolific devices and that appears to be the case. I now have both Fldigi and my own software communicating with the TRX2 via this adapter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953397841255562532.post-85167780455020934752009-04-20T16:38:00.000+01:002009-04-20T16:38:00.000+01:00Hi, Interesting comment regarding USB vs Serial.

I am using a USB-Serial lead from my Apple Powerbook G4, quite happily for radio control, and using various programs too. It might also be the type of "USB-Serial adaptor". I know the one I use, I specifically chose because it was recommended by the embedded processor programming crowd. I don't have it on me now but if you are interested in the details I can send them on. I know it is also fully supported in Linux.<br />73 de 2E0SKIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
