Back in 2004, I bought a 2-port PCMCIA card made by Quatech, which has since been on a lot of Field Days, CA QSO Party county expeditions, and even a DX trip. It contains two real hardware serial ports and a pluggable dongle. I've since bought two more for additional laptops. They are not cheap, Quatech is a US company, based in OH, I think. I've observed no RFI issues, and they work with signal returns connected to DB9 connector shells. . In recent years, I've heard good things about Edgeport products. They were not cheap until they went bankrupt a year or two ago. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
