[WriteLog] Band data

[Gary AL9A]

Any suggestions on how to get auto band switching for antennas from laptop 
PC's that no longer have LPT and do not have slots for adding an LPT card? 
Would a USB to parallel adapter be viable?  Or are there any band decoders 
out there that work directly with USB?

73,
Gary AL9A
