LHS Episode #218: USB Deep Dive
Hello and welcome to Linux in the Ham Shack. This is Episode 218 and in it your hosts take a deep dive in to the world of serial devices and the Universal Serial Bus. Lots of information here about how to configure your Linux systems to work properly and more efficiently with USB devices for fun, work and ham radio. We also have announcements and feedback. Thank you for listening, and please take a moment to drop a few dollars into our tip jar at the Hamvention 2018 GoFundMe campaign. Hope to see you in Ohio in May!
