Here is a link to the e-ham review page for pc to radio interfaces.
http://www.eham.net/reviews/products/53
It all depends on what you want to do and what you want to spend. Like
Colin said, West Mountain makes a lot of different models. The newer ones
are USB connection to the pc. You can also check out Signal Link, Donner,
and Rascal, and a bunch of others. If you click on any of the products
reviewed at the above link, you can find a link to the manufacturer's home
page. Happy shopping.
