_Lots of inexpensive USB to serial adapters are available and most of them work for general purpose serial communications. Trouble is lots of times we are asking our Serial port to actually work as a 'switch' activating a PTT or Key line, etc.
Jerry,
I'm sure you're correct about the 'switch' problem; however, IIRC, I thought that there was another problem, namely that these all would work with ASCII but only a few would work with Baudot. True or is my memory failing me (again)?
