Yes, but those devices go from an RS-232 DEVICE TO USB HOST, which is not what is required in this situation—which is USB DEVICE to RS-232 HOST. Also, I'd point out that those devices require a DEVICE DRIVER to be recognized by the computer properly.... something which isn't an option with either the VHF or the GPS.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
