Bob,
No you do not have to buy the adapter from Elecraft.
You can buy the one from Elecraft that is known to work, or you can buy
the $2 one and see if it works - some may, some may not, it is a gamble.
That ine from Ebay likely has some shipping charges with it too, so it
will cost you perhaps $7 by the time you are done. One can buy only 6
of the inexpensive adapters to try before expending more than the cost
of the Elecraft 'known to work' model.
The choice is entirely yours.
I would suggest a better solution for those who are using a standard PC
(one that will accept adapter cards), the you purchase an add-on serial
card. That is a more reliable (and less hassle) solution than depending
on USB to serial adapters. A PCI card with 2 serial ports can be found
in the $25 price range.
