Re: [digitalradio] Fault with RS-232 cable

[John Bradley]

sounds like you might have a modem cable rather than a true RS232 cable......... they have the same connections but are cross wired   John VE5MU ----- Original Message ----- From: william graves To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2006 7:13 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Fault with RS-232 cable Am in the process of wiring up my PK-232 to a computer and noticed that the 25 pin RS-232 cable pins don't match. For example, when I checked with an ohm meter, pin #1 on one plug went to a different pin on the other end...NOT # 1.  The same with many other pins.  Anyone ran across this before ?? The manufacteror is Belkin and the model number is: F3D50810GLD. Hmmmmmm..... Looks like I'll have to cut the cable and re-wire.
