When I first got into Ham Radio, my first TNC was an AEA PK-88. It had a
25 pin RS232 port and I used a 25 - 9 serial cable I had. Last night as
I was testing, still not getting any signals to the computer from the
TT4, I also thought about the cable, thinking that using the Null Modem
cable for communication with Xastir, may not be the right cable and I
should be using a serial cable. Checking pinouts now to confirm my
thoughts.
