[NA-User] ICOM 738

After reading Tim's note, I realized that I had the connector 
descriptions reversed in my previous e-mail.  I was describing the 
mating connectors but referring to them being on the computer itself.

Tim is correct.  COM ports have male connectors on the computer.  LPTs 
have female.
