I bought a USB cable for the FT-8800R from Kawa Mall on E-Bay.? It
works fine with Windows 7.? I think it came with a driver disk, but
I did not need to use it.? When I buy stuff on E-bay, I deal with
"stores" that are in the US.? Kawa Mall is in Iowa.???
As for the FT-60R, I'm using an RT Systems serial cable I originally
bought with v2 software for the VX-2R.? It works well with a
serial-USB converter I had originally bought to interface with a
Garmin GPS serial cable; the combination works on both XP and 7.?
I'm using the FT Commander software.? I attribute my success to
having purchased a high-quality USB-serial converter, which was
partly due to good luck.? This is the adapter I bought:?
If I had to buy a USB cable for the FT-60, I would try Kawa Mall.

I would like advice on whitch cable to buy to program a
FT-60R using Commander software. I prefer a usb cable.
Some cable and software combinations do not work at least
for me, as tryied the ttl2.usb with windows 7 and failed,
so returned the ttl2.usb. Would like a usb cable that has
been known to work with windows 7, and backwards to
windows xp also.
Would consider just a serial cable also. Any information
on make and model of cable appreciated. I see alot of
cables for sale on Ebay but not sure if any of them
actually work?
Thank's,
Bill
