[Trlog] Radio Control using USB serial port adapter / or newinterface

[K4BEV at aol.com]

Admittedly, I'm confused.

I use 1 serial port to both key the radio and control it. A second serial 
port is used for a second radio. (No SO2R here, just a back-up radio.)
Radios are an IC-765 and TS-570S -- Both work fine.
The schematics are in the manual and the devices can be easily built into a 
DB-9 connector shell.
I've also used a Belkin USB to serial adapter when using a notebook computer, 
but for some reason I have to unplug it and then plug it back in to get it to 
work. It would also occasionally lock up. Belkin had no explanation for this 
and I've since abandoned the practice.
