Fake FTDI & Prolific chips have been an issue for a long time. We all want to save some money, but you spend lots of money one the best radio you can afford. Why would you try to save a couple of $$ on the cable? I suggest buying it from reputable dealers. Elecraft sells premade FTDI cables, Mouser sells cables you can put your own end on. The key is buying from real places that stand behind their product.
The only other thought process, what is your time worth? Is it worth the trouble trying to make something work? Buying the right product from the right place saves lots of time. For me, time is money.... Just my two cents worth! 73 Will WC2L ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
