Subject: Re: connecting via usb - msg#00011List: recreation.radio.hardware.icom.pcr1000I bought a USB to serial adapter on ebay -- it was a few bucks. My latest notebook also has no serial ports. This adapter is a no-name, but it's more than just a connector adapter. Consists of a cable with a USB plug on one end and an expanded serial 9-pin on the other with status LED's in it. It comes with a mini-CD with the drivers. The cable might be long enough - 3 feet -- to connect directly to the PCR-1000, however, it has the nuts staked into it, so won't clear. It's intended to attach another 9-pin plug into it and secure with the thumbscrews. So, I mated it up to the original serial cable and that worked. I assigned it to COM1. It might default to COM 5 or 6, and I don't think that worked. If you search on "USB to serial" on ebay you'll find lots of them. Should also be available at local stores.

I've also used the Buxcomm http://www.buxcomm.com/Special_Connectors.htm USB/RS232 interface with good results -- and these are cheaper. The only problem that I've had with either of these is you must set them up for a com port lower then 8. The Icom software won't recognize com ports 8 and above. The Win XP device manager does allow you to force the com port number but the procedure is a little convoluted. Let me know if I can help any further. 73 Tom n0ntx ----- Original Message ----- From: "trapperdave6ftflourescenttube" <drtucker-FhtRXb7CoQBt1OO0OYaSVA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <PCR1000-hHKSG33TihhbjbujkaE4pw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 9:36 AM Subject: [PCR1000] connecting via usb > Hi I was wondering if anyone can help,I would like to take my pcr 1000 > on holiday,my laptop does not have a com port only usb.I have tried > using a usb to 9pin dplug lead, but the laptop (win xp) was unable to > detect the pcr1000.Has anyone connected the pcr1000 to a usb port? if so > could you supply the make of the relevent lead. > Many thanks > david > > > > > > > > Yahoo!
