Ok folks it has come down to this. I am off of RTTY until I get a solution.
I need to find a USB to Serial adapter that will allow me to use true
FSK and do radio control on my Yeasu FT-920.
Yes, I have been to the rttycontesting.com site and read Don's article
on the subject.
My new HP laptop (a ZD7058cl) has 4 USB ports and no serial ports. This
computer is now the main computer in the shack. It runs Windows XP home
edition.
I do not have the money to try every adapter listed on the website. I
need to find one that works as I have no way to operate RTTY until I do.
I need to buy something and it has to be guaranteed to work.
I currently own a Belkin F5U409 that does not work at all for either rig
control or FSK. In fact if I even plug it into one of the USB ports
both Writelog and Logger 32 lock up the computer. I have to remove
external power and the battery to unlock the machine.
Damn, do I hate USB.
Any help greatly appreciated.
