USB to Serial Stick

[Roy Morris-6]

Can someone tell me where I can get one of these USB to serial sticks that has been mentioned on this reflector?  I have had a really bad experience with a serial adapter cable.  It seems to depend on which brand of serial adapter cable you use as to whether it will work or not.  Thanks.  Roy Morris  W4WFB

Roy FYI, I use a Keyspan serial to USB adapter and have had good luck with
it. I had previously bought a Dynex adapter from Best Buy that worked with
most everthing other than Ham Hadio Deluxe. HRD works the comm port pretty
hard and the Dynex adapter apparently couldn't keep up. West Mountain
Radio promotes the Iogear adapter for their Rigblaster interfaces. I have
seen the Iogear adapters at Walmart for less than $30.00.

Roy,

Apparently not all USB to serial adapters are fully compliant with the
RS232 protocol. Having a need for a good adapter myself for programing
Basic Stamp micro controllers I inquired on the appropriate forums. The
consensus  was that the Keyspan 19HS adapter was the the most compliant
adapter available. I purchased the adapter for about $35 directly from
www.keyspan.com. This adapter has worked flawlessly for every
application I have tried it with on both Windows and Mac platforms.
