As of this point, I haven't found a program that doesn't support USB-RS-232c adapters.
Commonly issues with adapters come from programs written for older versions of Windows. From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joey Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 6:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [dstar_digital] ID-800H I am new to ham radio and DStar. I ordered an ICOM ID-800H yesterday and have a quick question regarding the data cable. The data cable available from ICOM (OPC-1384) terminates to a RS-232 serial port. This is no problem for my desktop PC, but my laptop does not have a serial port. In order to use the Dstar data capabilities with my laptop, I am assuming that I would need to use a rs232 (serial) to USB adapter. My question is do you know if programs such as dchat and dstar comms support the use of such an adapter. My past experience is that the use of such an adapter is somewhat hit and miss depending on the program and speed requirements. Thanks for any help and advice [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
