I suppose you mean USB to serial adapter? The answer is yes

A common problem these days :)

Yes. Do be sure and load the driver for the adapter cable prior to
trying to contact the GPSr.

I think he had it right. There is a "dongle" on one end with a DB9P
connector and it contains a Prologic PL-2303 (or equivalent) serial to
USB bridge. The other end has a USB connector. So it receives RS-232
serial and converts it to USB serial.

Maybe you're thinking of the reset of the process. Where the operating
system creates a virtual COM port so an application can use it.

Good luck. Maybe someone will pay your $20 opening bid for it. It's not
worth much more nowadays.

Yeah, it's worth keeping around as a backup. I got one too. Looking to get
an HCX unit once all the bugs are fixed or maybe the older tried and true 60
or 76 csx.

Might help your sale if you include some cheaper ground shipping options.
