Hi Dan, While we might do a USB version in the future, our RS232 implementation meets all of our criteria:
- it generates no RFI that might modulate the RF signal - takes almost no PCB space - is inexpensive, helping keep the cost of the instrument low - uses almost no supply current - and is backwards-compatible with older PCs that have only traditional serial ports Nearly all our customers already have USB to serial adapters for use with other station equipment, both ours and that of other manufacturers. 73, Wayne N6KR A USB port contributes more RFI, takes more board space On Apr 13, 2011, at 9:57 PM, Daniel Swartling wrote: > This is the 21st century.
