[RTTY] Belkin Serial Port F5U103

[Dennis OConnor]

I have the Belkin USB/Serial convertor, actually a number of them, running on Win 95 and 98, and XP, and XP Pro... They work just fine... Installing the drivers and getting them to run initially, is a royal pain in the butt...  Even having done it at least a dozen times it can be done sin minutes or it can take us up to a half hour of reload and retry to coax the drivers into communicating with Windoze, once installed it is reliable after that... I can 't offer any more advice than you have received... Follow the directions, run the executable, etc...  IF it still won't work ask around for some pimple faced 14 year old computer geek... That he has never heard of ham radio is immaterial.. He speaks drivers and windoze and that is all he needs to make it work...
   
  Now an important point!  Once the USB convertor is installed and windoze is booted up, the lights will stop flashing -  until you plug it into a device and start up the software for that device and the computer begins polling the device, then you will see activity on the lights... I am currently running RigBlaster, MixW2, MMTTY, N1MM, PK232, W1FB, and others, using the Belkin and it seems bullet proof.. Have faith and get help if you need it...
