Re: [RTTY] USB to Serial adapters

["Susan M. King" <k5du@texas.net>]

Hi,

I just got a USB to serial to use for radio control - from a new Fujitsu 
laptop to a Yaesu 1000MP.
It works fine. It's a BAFO technologies BF-810.  It says it's for 
"...connecting your legacy serial devices via USB."

It cost $19.99 at Frys.

Good luck, 73, Susan K5DU
