[CQ-Contest] Yaesu FT-1000 CAT to USB

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

Stay away from the cheap serial to USB adapters.  Only use the WHQL 
certified FTDI adapters with software such as CDM v. 2.08....If you buy 
the knock of Prolific unit you may have to spend a lot of time getting 
the proper port recognition.  It is a bit more money but worth every penny.
