Yes, I had that happen. I went to Radio Shack, explained...

my circumstances and they sold me a filter that took care of the problem EXCEPT when the ham operator ramped up. IF you know where the tower is, these people should be reported - it's against federal guidelines to ramp up that heavily. I found the tower (down the street from me), called him in, and the feds they came a-knockin'. Funny - no more problems! Good luck!

Radio Shack
I have 3 pedals hooked up and needed another serial port. Radio Shack has the adapter you plug into your USB for about 20.00. Worked like a charm. The only tricky part is finding the right port listed in the program you are using.
Radio Shack

They sell a very inexpensive adapter for serial and/or game port to USB.  Mine works fine with Dictaphone EXText, eScription EditScript, etc.  I think I paid $10 for it at a local store.


You can search radio shack online and see if your local store has them in stock or can get them.    many many new computers are going to exclusively USB ports, no more serial or parallel


radio shack has it all.

Might try Radio Shack. n,

I got one at Radio Shack
I told them what I wanted. It was a little plug-in and to switch from one computer to the other, I just hit ScrLk 2 times. Super easy to hook up and super cheap too!
try radio shack..

 


Try radio shack...for the past 4 or 5 days have been having very poor quality voice out of the blue - couldn't figure if it was my computer or phone lines or the client - but for 19.95 from R Shack I have ordered a head set that covers over background noise and also has a low/hi volume control, which I think I will really like...will let you know how it is when I get it if you are still having problems...the radio shack guy said he had 3 orders before mine...so maybe the MT world was aware they were on sale...Good Luck!


Did you try Radio Shack????
They have those adapters and they're cheap. They have all KINDS of adapters. Also replacement foams of various types.
i have found that radio shack has

several adapters to choose from to convert to a USB port.  with each newer version of computers they seem to be cutting out the older types of ports (like used for older foot pedals/game ports, etc) and using "s" connections, usb, etc.  the computer that I have from 1995 has different ports than the tower I bought last summer and my laptop that I bought last summer so I have to use an adapter and everything is fine.


radio shack; have bought several there nm

You might try a filter that you can get from Radio Shack.
It is probably just interference from something in your neighborhood, perhaps a ham operator or something like that?
Radio Shack in Portland, OR has them -- nm
 Found them there
Radio Shack headphones
Yes, several people are recommending those Radio Shack Koss headphones (I am getting some emails too). It looks like those might be the ones to try!
Radio Shack carries them. nm

I use DVI too and got an adapter at Radio Shack
for about 17.00.  You can check in-store stock on-line to see if a local store may have one. 
Radio Shack has lots of different ones. nm

There are Sony ones at Radio Shack sm
that were suggested to me so I bought a pair.  They are silver and look sort of like Spock ears when you have them on.  I think they come with a year warranty or maybe I bought that for a few cents, can't remember now.   I really like those.
Got mine at Radio Shack
I have bought them from Office Depot many times as well. My recent ones came from Radio Shack and are Presidian noise cancelling headphones. I love them.
I have a Radio Shack one that was on sale for about $79 but it usuallySM

is around $100 -- a portable one that I bought a power supply for.


I hear everything. Fires, fights, rapes, hostage situations (YES!), wrecks, stabbings, shootings, mean dogs - you name it. I sleep to it.


How lame is that? LOL. I will readily admit I have NO LIFE.


transcriptiongear.com might have it or even Radio Shack on line. nm

Bose Headphones/Radio Shack

I have definitely been considering ordering the Bose QC-3, but am a little hesitant because of their price.  I did find better prices on E-Bay, but not sure you would get a warranty with those (some are new though).  Also, since I do dictation via C-phone not sure they would work for that. 


A few years ago I also had the noise canceling headphones from Radio Shack and used them off and on while working on-site, but found them to be very warm and a bit heavy...after a few years though they were not working well...and that is why I am looking at the Bose.


Also tried the Etymotic 6 earbuds, which were supposed to be so good.  They are good, but I can't stand to have the earbuds in my ears for a very long period of time.


Let me know if you purchase the Bose...would like to hear your opinion.


If you go to messages from last week here there are a lot of good things said about the Bose QC earphones (both 2 and 3).


I don't know about an adapter. Check Radio Shack as they
do have other types of adapters and may have something that will work for you. 
If all you need is volume control, Radio Shack sm

Radio Shack sells an extender cord that has a volume control device in it for $10 or so.


I can't stand anything sticking into my ears, so I only use the "earmuff" style headphones. In fact, I just had to buy a pair because my old ones died, and using the ones my company supplied was killing my ears. I found a pair of JVC headphones that are DJ-style and have an in-line volume control on them. By plugging them into the audio jack on the front of my PC, it cut out the humming noise I got when plugging them into my speakers, and by covering my ears, they cut out all the extra noise from the house. I was shocked at how loud my keyboard was when I had to use the other headphones because these muffle it so much.


Try Radio Shack. I buy my pedal adapters there. They might be able to help you. nm

Radio Shack does not appear to carry theirs anymore. This one on ebay might work similarly.

Ah, fun times at Radio Shack, BTDT.
Even if you explain the situation to them, they often won't get the deal about what ''gender'' plugs you need, heh.

BTW, didn't you originally say your foot pedal was USB? I'm really confused now, if what you ended up needing was a VGA splitter and not a USB hub because of your lack of USB ports?
Get a game port/USB adapter from Radio Shack - This will at
problem. I am sorry you are having trouble. I love my Dell, but use serial port (9-pin) for my work. Have used the game port adapter at a previous job without a problem though.
Stereo-to-Mono adapter at Radio Shack
Buy a little stereo-to-mono adapter at Radio Shack, well under $10.  The earphones you are trying to use are stereo, and are picking up only one channel.  I have bought earphones at Target and Radio Shack for years, and keep a couple of these little adaptors on hand in my office "junk drawer."

I've purchased them at both Radio Shack and on Ebay. sm

If I remember correctly, they're called earbud cushions. 


A variety of them can be purchased online here:

I just bought headphones from radio shack, on sale $19, t

they are the ear bud style but have this grey cushion that sticks into your ears.  I haven't had a problem since I bought them.  They also have a volume control which I love!

De Ja vu explained...

In one of her books she explains how we are given a blue print of our life before we are born, so we can choose our path and what lessens we want to learn while being on earth, to get us closer to God in the spiritual word.  She explains when we have de ja vu, a feeling we had been in this exact same place/situation before, that is a part of our path we remember seeing before birth.  Again, some of you may laugh at that..but is there any other explanation for de ja vu?  I'm a spiritual person and when I read that, I said a-ha!  Total believer.


I just explained it. Don't know what else to say

No. The way it was explained to me is that once you have sm
it expunged, you can honestly say "no," except like I said before, if you are applying for a high-level security position or such.

Good luck to you. No one should have to pay for a mistake that happened years and years ago.
Should have explained further - where I
work 12,000 pay period is FT, that is base pay. Over that you receive the incentive.

Well, maybe I explained it wrong

I have the wavplayer footpedal only and it is supposed to plug into the speakers, but does not fit.


Thank you. That is exactly how Dictaphone explained it to me sm

why do u need it explained. Everyone counts different.
what do u need to know?
very nicely explained
exactly right!
A college professor I had explained it like this...

We all have "breaking point" for getting cancer.  Has a lot to do with your immune system and what you are doing to your body, i.e. smoking.  One person smokes and gets cancer at 38  _____1_____________ and the next person smokes and gets cancer at 78 _______________1____.  It's individual and you just never know.  However, the fact that a person gets cancer 10 years after quitting cigarettes doesn't mean they wouldn't have gotten it if they had continued to smoke.  Probably would have gotten it sooner, but since the prior smoking has done it's damage, they got it anyway. 


I heard that if you quit before age 35 you can usually reverse the damage and your risk factors, but after that, there's no going back in a big way.  The damage is done.
