@Bob K8YS,
hi, you need something like this :

http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-RS232-TTL-Module-cp2102-/280556942025?pt=BI_Electrical_Equipment_Tools&hash=item41527f32c9


work very well and is a good interface to transceiver and you can leave cell 
phone back in garage :)

I need TTL.
I have RS232
I have USB
I do not have a RS232 port. Rules out the standard USB to RS232 dongle.

I think that I want to take an old cell phone to computer interface that has
a USB to RS232 level converter. It is a common chip, and I have the drivers.

I want to take the RS232 from the cell phone cable and feed it to a MAX233
to get TTL in/out.

Then use the TTL to talk to the IC706m2g to control the radio.

Without reinventing the wheel, is there a "better way"?
