Author Topic: Bluetooth Serial Adaptors Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-28-2008 06:34 PM                     I'm curious to know if anyone has used this type of adaptor yet and how well they work with the common gear we are typically working with these days. Thanks in advance for any input on this!

The connectivity reliability was exactly what I was wondering about. Some of the adaptors claim a 300 foot range... The one I'm getting does so we'll see how well it works. Entire stores are connecting their POS systems this way with very reliable results. Mark  |  IP: Logged
