[UK-CONTEST] USB-Serial Adaptors

[Dez Watson]

If it's to send CW or PTT then your fiver on e-bay would be well spent. 
If you want to use it for FSK keying
then most of the chipsets used in USB-Serial apadters can't handle 
Baudot 5-unit code too well.

Also consider your operating system. I waited 6 months for Vista drivers 
to appear but now all fine and I have
CAT/PTT/CW from an adapter based around the Prolific chipset.
