[TenTec] OMNI-VI+ RS232 connector

[Dale L. Martin]

The DB-25 on the Omni VI is a female connector.

Here's what I did, Terry:

1.  Get three DB-25's; one male (pins), two female (sockets).

2.  Wire up one DB-25 female for the VFO.  Label the connector/cable
appropriately

3.  Wire up the second DB-25 female for the Computer.  Label the
connector/cable appropriately

4.  Wire both DB-25 females to the appropriate DB-25 male connector
pins.

Now, you have maximum flexibility and have made only about 16 or 20
solder joints.

73 and enjoy.
