Hi Gerard, I am using the USB port to control my Field without a problem. I purchased the Microham interface. I chose it because it comes with all cabling for my rig, has level converters and is filtered. It does rig control with DXBase, rig control and CW TX (QSK & PTT) with Writelog and rig control and QSK CW with MixW. Costomer service is great too. BTW I have used it with Windows XP Home and XP Professional and the CW is perfect (not choppy as other have reported with other USB interfaces).

Recently I bought a new laptop ( Toshiba Satellite A65). However on this machine there is no COM-port, and 3 USB ports. To solve this I purchased an adapter USB to COM. However I cannot operate ( via CAT) my FT-1000MP via this adapter. I have DXBase2001 and 2005. Anybody on the list has solved this problem ( for me at least) ??
