This is inherent to the USB protocol. As suggested by Jim the easiest way to proceed is a USB/serial convertor an= d use it with your usual QRS software. 73, Rik ON7YD - OR7T ________________________________________ Van: owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org [owner-rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org= ] namens James Moritz [james.moritz@btopenworld.com] Verzonden: donderdag 29 december 2011 16:43 Aan: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Onderwerp: LF: Re: USB QRS Dear Mal, LF Group, ...>Does anyone know of a QRS prog that uses the USB port on a computer instead of the Serial or Parallel ports de mal/g3kev...> More to the point, how to connect the other end of the USB cable to the transmitter, given that it only contains fixed 0, +5V power supply connections and a differential pair carrying high-speed bi-directional data= . The usual solution is to use one of the inexpensive USB - RS232 converters. The one in use here takes the form of a cable with USB plug on one end and D9 plug on the other, containing the interface circuit. It seems to work fine. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU=
