OK....thanks all, for the info. It seemed strange, because in all of my previous experience with cables, pin 1 always went to pin 1 on the other end, etc... Interesting.
I need only 9 wires between the PK-232 and the computer so I wonder if I can cut the cable and spice just the ones for this purpose. Could shorten it alot to minimize any RF. Comments ?? It's hard to find the exact parts I need down here. Bill, XE1/N7TDK --- "Steven L.
