Joe:
Are you saying the there is a power requirement for the microHAM even when
it is turned off????
Or do you mean the RS232 control lines? If so, and the device gets powered
down, doesn't it's hold on the control lines go away???

>>No.  The unpowered adapter (whether the microHAM device or the USB 
>>converter) will "pull down" the data lines resulting in no data
