Hi ,

No, I have built no cable !

I think, the cable is manufactured in Taiwan, together with the chip.

This cable and the software is importet by the German wholesaler
Digitus . (WWW.DIGITUS.DE)
The name is: USB-RS232 ADAPTER.

RTTY:

Today, after many software-tests...


With unique MMTTY I can use the port COM1 to COMxx for PTT + FSK .


---------


But:
----
With MMTTY together with DL4RCK-Software I must use the port 'EXTFSK' (extfsk.dll from the webside of MMTTY) for PTT and FSK.
(COM1 to COMxx = only PTT )


Writelog and SM6SRW-MMTTYPluginforWritelog does'nt have this port 'EXTFSK' !

? ! These software must be changed ? ! ? !

To carry this thread a little farther.  From my research, the Prolific PL2303 is
a chip (or chip set?) that is a USB-to-serial converter.

Uli, did you build your own cable?

We cannot assume that any adapter using the Prolific PL2303 chip will work for
FSK.  The reason being, and I'm not 100% sure on this, is that the chip must be
programmed to run 5-bit code?  As seen in other chips that are capable of 5-bit
code, if the device is not programmed to run 5-bit code, it won't.

For example, the DataPro US-109A uses the PL2303 chip.  Is there anyone out
there who owns one of these and can test it on FSK?

The same goes for the BAFO model BF-810. And probably many more I didn't find.

Uli, are you using a commercially made USB adapter?  If so, what is the brand
name?  Or did you build your own?

Hello Don and the group,

Yes, it is the PL2303 !

I use the 'old' version USB 1.1 : comports run mostly with 9600 bd, FSK less,
therefor USB 1.1 is enough speed !
The USB-to Serial adapter (USB 1.1) costs in Germany ~ 10 Euro !

This morning I downloaded the current versions of the software from Prolific
Technology Inc., and testet it with the 'old' adapters I use: no problems.

Hello Uli. What is the model number of the USB-to-Serial adapter you are using for FSK from Prolific?
Is it a PL2303?


Thanks,
Don AA5AU

You must have found the only USB to serial adapter that will work with true 5 bit code for FSK.
Please advise the full name and model.
It will be very popular here in the states.


Thanks Uli.

Hi all,

I use 3 cheap (about 9 euro each) 'usb to comport' from Digitus/Prolific Technology Inc. for : Com4= PTT + FSK, Com5=TS-480,

Com6=Packet.



(WinXP, Acer Notebook Celeron 2.6 with 4 USB, the last usb-port=mouse)
