Mac OS X 10.4/MacLoggerDX Compatible

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I bought one today to replace an IOGear GUC232A converter that died after a few months of use. The OS X driver installation from the included CD was fast and the performance with my TenTec Argo V and MacLoggerDX software is much better than the IOGear device (shows up in the MLDX selection menu and seems to update faster). Can't say anything about unit life yet but so far its performance is great.

Works great

I have the same problem in that my new computer does not have a RS232 interface. The programming cables for my three different ICOM HTs use a RS232 interface. I had several RS232 to USB adapters already that did work with other devices, but they would not work with the HT software. After investigating solutions both on eham and other places, I ordered the USA-19HS. When it arrived, I quickly connected my first HT and it worked. I found the same result with the other HT programming software. One package is from RT Systems and the other two are from ICOM. The adapter works and I recommend it.
Hopefully the ham industry will soon realize that the world has moved to USB and will make all interfaces USB compliant. A conversion adapter, while it works, is not the answer! It is a patch at best due to poor engineering.

Works As Advertised

I recently purchased this adapter as an interface between my TS-2000 and a HP laptop which didn't have a serial interface port. Now I enjoy remote control of my transceiver using DX Lab's Commander application. I recommend this adapter to anyone wanting a reliable way of converting USB port to serial capability.

Vista compatible!

Bought one to replace a RadioShack unit which didn't work consistently with Vista. KeySpan provides a Vista-compatible driver on their Web site. The KeySpan device works perfectly.

I'm using this serial-to-USB adapter with my Yaesu FT-897D, Yaesu CT-62 CAT cable, and an HP nc2400 laptop running Windows XP Pro. Works great with N3FJP's "AC Log" for rig control, and other rig control software. I bought this adapter (new) from Amazon for $31.64. Comes with software CD. Appears as a standard COM port, in my case on COM6. I highly recommend this adapter. Seems like a real high quality product.
