I find the ONLY reliable USB to Serial adaptors to be from Keyspan; Belkins are trash.
And Keyspan has just come out with Vista driver.

Danger willl robinson....
I bought a handfull of some $17 usb serial adapters which are based on the
prolific chipset.

They work fine for normal serial TNC comms, but do not work with KISS mode.
The best I can figure, they do not send all characters in the buffer, they
leave ONE character in the buffer unsent. In normal serial TNC comms, you
send your line of text and a CR LF. The CR makes it but the LF stays in the
buffer.... yes, it's sent eventually when you send the next line of text so
it's not really a problem. HOWEVER when you send KISS mode packets, they
must end with the character $C0 and the packet won't be sent until that
character is recieved... which is the next time a packet is sent, so your
packets are always one packet behind where you think they are. Also, a
friend is using one of these to key the radio on his home station and had to
increase his txdelay by over 200mS above normal to have his packets
decoded... I think this is due to latency in the USB interface side of
things... the on air packet sounds normal.
I don't really have any experience with other chipsets on these devices.

Re: Belkin USB to Serial Adaptor Posted by: "Barry Hiddema" blh10@sbcglobal.net bhiddema Date: Fri Dec 21, 2007 10:30 am ((PST)) In my opinion the Prolific USB to Serial adapters work very well. I use three of them simultaneously with UI-View, IC7000bkt Icom 7000 Computer Control, and RS91 Icom IC 91AD programming software. With the driver software you can set the com port number to just about anything you want.

I assume you are using them in ASCII character mode, where every line is
terminated in a <CR> <LF> pair.
The problem with the last received character not being flushed out of
the USB-serial buffer, until another character is received, doesn't
really arise in common line-at-a-time ASCII operation.
Have you tried using them in KISS or purely binary modes that don't have
the >CR><LF> double delimiter at the end of each line or block of data?

I use it in the KISS mode for airmail and AGWPE.

2a. UI-Weather Question
Posted by: "Tim Smith" tsmith_groups@mattapoisett.org rt_smith
Date: Fri Dec 21, 2007 7:15 am ((PST))
I recently purchased a Lacrosse WS-2315 weather station to support my
APRS weather feed. I downloaded and installed UI-Weather and
everything seemed to install nicely but I appear to have a config
problem. When I run UI-Weather and select Ws2300 as the station,
enable ws-2300 and confirm the C:\heavyweather path, the display seems
to work find. The graphic in the upper left hand corner shows that
the UI-Weather is parsing the currdat.lst file created by
HeavyWeather. My problem is that it does not seem to be creating the
uiwx.txt file each time the heavyweather file is updated.
Is there somthing obvious I've missed?

Tim,
I have the Lacrosse 3610 and found that during the install or setup, the wx.txt was not created. So I manually created a "new text file" and named it wx.txt, saved in the Heavy Weather directory. Then pointed the ui-weather setup to that directory.

Hi Tim
You need to point UI-View32 to c:\heavyweather\wx.txt
Note:
The uiwx.txt file is used to export the historic data (manual activity) from
heavyweather into UI-Weather

Ah ha, that's it !! Thanks John, I totally forgot about the internet
time client setting. It works perfectly now. Thanks very much.
