RS-232 Serial ports used voltage variations of up to -15Vdc to 15Vdc which was good for older equipment and long cable runs.

However, these are usually the most expensive and are not always the most convenient (because of a lack of USB, etc).

The exception to this are the very low cost USB cables that come with many Chinese radios that use a counterfeit Prolific USB to serial chip that has a number of driver problems with recent versions of Microsoft Windows.

If you use Microsoft Windows, finding the right driver and keeping it working can be quite a chore.

Saving 10-15 on a cable might cost you a good bit of time and frustration trying to get it all to work.

With such a cable, you can choose your own (or try many) USB adapters to get a working setup.

In reality, this is a much safer option as you only have to find a solid USB adapter once, and you can use it with many cables.

The KeySpan USA-19HS is a very solid USB adapter that has many benefits and is not sold under another name, nor does it use a variety of chips as do many other cables.

Anything with a REAL Prolific or FTDI chip should be fine as well.

This is the chip that has been clonedcounterfeited in the Chinese cables.

Recent versions of Microsoft Windows (7 and later) will automatically update to the latest Prolific driver.

This can make a cable stop working at some point after it is installed.

Also another clue is that there will be many different drivers listed to try if one doesnt work.

FTDI makes a high quality USB to serial chip that has a good, working driver built in to many operating systems.

The FTDI chip can add 10-15 to the cost of a USB programming cable, but will save time and frustration with driver issues.

Another clue is that the cables are advertised to work with Windows 7 64-bit.

Some of the 3rd party cable manufacturers, such as BlueMax49ers and Valley Enterprises, have switched to using only the FTDI chip after having too many problems with the Prolific clones.

While RT Systems sells high quality USB programming cables that are based on the FTDI chip, these cables may or may not work with CHiRP and any other software that except the cable to show up as a generic serial (COM) port.

With some work it is possible to get the RT Systems cable to show up as a generic serial devices, see FTDI OEM Cables.

Most radios use a serial interface for programming, however the voltage levels used varies.
