I have had good results with both the MFJ and RT Systems convertors, both
available thru HRO and AES. I also have a couple from RIGBlaster (West
Mountain Radio). They will not work with my FT-2000 to a PC or laptop.

Another vote for RT Systems.
Expensive, but fewer headaches.
Some foks have had success with less expensive converters based on the
Prolific chipset, but some counterfeit chips along with a plethora of
drivers and driver updates make these iffy in my book.

The confusion continues. I'll save W4TV the effort of responding -
USB-to-Parallel is what we're talking about here, not USB-to-Serial.
David, you cannot key CW or do anything else involving switching
individual lines on a parallel port through a converter. The only
hardware I know of that
For USB-to-Serial -- not David's question -- why would anyone buy
anything but a converter with an FTDI chipset? In 8+ years of
supporting N1MM Logger, I saw literally a hundred people with Prolific
adapters who had problems, versus ZERO with FTDI. Why mess around?

Pete is 100% correct -- USB to parallel port converters will NOT work for
keying CW. I bought two of them before someone explained that to me. I
wasted my money. Don’t waste yours!
I built a USB Winkeyer kit from K1EL. Works great!

What is the easiest way to identify devices with FTDI chipsets, Pete?
Forgive me, I'm feeling stupid today. :(

Hello Dick,
Try Google 'usb serial adapter with ftdi chip' and see what pops up in your
area. There are several at a variety of prices - others may have suggestions
with which they have had success. Was not using mine (unbranded from a UK
source but supposed to be FTDI) for DX4 but it hit a
Sorry it took so long for me to thankyou.. It work out just like I knew
what I was doing. Hi

You probably need to look at the specs, Dick - often available online.
I have found a number that actually had it on the box.
