[UK-CONTEST] USB-Serial Adaptors

[Darrell G0HVQ]

Seems to depend what you want to use it for.

I use one for keying the radio for RTTY/PSK, via a homebrew interface - have 
tried 2 types of adapter and both have worked fine.

Bought one of them off a ham mate, who had trouble getting it working with 
his rig control software, which is bi-directional.

Just had a look at it and it's unbranded, so can't tell you what make this 
one is unfortunately, but it's in a clear blue case if that helps :-)
