[WriteLog] Re: W5XD Keyer & USB connection (GW4BLE)

[Dean M. St. Hill]

Dear colleagues


I wonder if anybody has actually tried PC Card Serial cards for laptop tpye
computers with FSK or W5XD keyer.

If so, what units were used and sources and pricing information would be
appreciated.

I am stuck with a laptop for most contests, and it does not have a serial
port. I use two generic USB-Serial interfaces, which work for rig control
and CW. I am looking for a source of PCMCIA serial cards, provided some on
the list have had some success with them.

73 and see you in the CQWW CW test this week-end.
