[Dxbase] COM Port Wiring

[FireBrick]

Way back when I connected my rig to my computer, I was pretty sure that it was a straight 
through cable.
And watch the stop bit issue.
I 'think' both Yaesu and Kenwood require 2 (two) stop bits.

Check your manual.

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
