I use the Channel Master App to load the list, It works but I get invalid bins any ideas
You're best bet is to buy a USB-to-serial adapter. Also, you will have to load a driver on your computer (or it may autodetect) to give the adapter a COM port number. But, BE CAREFULL, the COM port number assigned to the adapter must be between 1 and 4 because Channel Master can only recognize those numbers. So, i would ask the vendor, before you buy, if the adapter driver allows you to map the adapter to a comm port between 1 and 4 on your computer. Otherwise, you will have to find a computer with a serial port.
