[TenTec] USB-to-RS232

[HUGHESRO]

Rich, Are you using the ten tec 305 level converter with it. In checking on internet it seems the Heathkit converter may work and the Icom ct-17 or derivative there of. The Ham Radio Delux software has a web site on interfaces cat and audio. I use a Keyspan usb to ser runs program ok but does not like anything about switching/ptt. I also have a radio shack which works ok on most all, Yeasu/Kenwood but does not like my omni 6. You can always take back to rs. Works fb on 1000mp mark 5. the ten tec model 305 has a mono 1/8inch pug from back of omni 6 to box then out of 305 by db25 to puter or usb adapter. A lot of posts this week on these usb adapters. I've just about pulled my last good hair roots out over this interfacing stuff. Gud lk Roger W4IV
