While searching for a new hub recently I came across one I had not seen before. I had been using 2 7 port hubs but had ran out of ports on them, yes I have a lot of things on the desk requiring several USB ports.
I was looking at the Manhattan web site as I had used them for some time because of their Lifetime Warranty. It was there I found the" USB Hub 28 ports total 14 plug in on the top and 14 on the sides. Each port has its own lighted switch so that each port can be turned on or off easily. 4 of the posts are USB3.0 the remaining 20 USB 2.0 your computer does need at least 1 USB 3 port to have them on the hub. I am currently using 18 of the ports and finally able to have most all hooked up at one time. The hub is extremely well built and works perfectly I wish I had found one like a long time ago. It retails for $99 but I found mine online at Amazon.com for $58 free shipping. It you need a large hub with switches to turn ports on or off this is it and as always it has their Lifetime Warranty. 73, Fred/N0AZZ K3 Ser # 6730--KX3 # 2573--K2/100 # 6470-KAT100 P3/SVGA--KPA500--KAT500--W2 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jack Berry Sent: Monday, July 15, 2013 6:52 PM To: Alan Hawrylyshen; [email protected] Cc: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] USB to RS232 cable or adapter I opted for an 8 port adapter. I paid more but I'll never run out of ports - I hope! I'm currently using 3 of the 8 but have used more with different equipment arrangements. I can assign any com port to any of the 8 RS232 ports as long as I don't duplicate. I also have a 4 port USB hub and can see a day coming when I'll have to move to a bigger hub - all 4 ports are in use including one to the RS232 hub. God Bless & 73!

It is connected to my K3 and I use it with my XG3, TM-D710, D72 and a large collection of devices. It is a real FTDI chipset (dual UART) and there have been ZERO problems. This is not a Prolific clone. At the listed price I will likely buy another. 73 Alan K2ACK On Jul 14, 2013, at 16:56 , Bob <[email protected]> wrote: > The issue of USB to serial converters comes up quite often.
