[Dxbase] COM Port Wiring

[Jack]

Bob,

You must use a fully wired RS232 serial cable.  Just wiring three leads will 
not work.

Regards,
Jack

Subject: [Dxbase] COM Port Wiring


I have a Yaesu Mark V and a Kenwood TS-870 as my backup.  I want to wire the 
Kenwood to another COM port on the computer so I can control it through 
DXBase.  It appears that pins 2, 3 and 5 are the only ones needed.  What I 
need to know is are pins 2 and 3 straight wired or are they swaped?

Thanks,
Bob
