Thanks for your help, couldn't of done it out you.
It is working, hooked the other radio to the PC monitored the serial line with serialmon, I now have data to the PC from the Mate using radio modems.
What I think is a little strange, is that the transmitter hooked to the Mate has the receiving light flashing and the radio hooked to the PC has the transmit light flashing, I would think it would be the other way around.
Again thanks!!!

You are welcome!
The wires names are throwing you off.
A straight cable connects DTE to DCE, called a modem cable. Pin 2 connects to 2 and 3 to 3. Each end pin 2 has the same name yet, one trans other receives! Can be very confusing.
The Mate's modem is receiving from the Mate as the PC's modem is transmitting to the PC!! Simple:-)
I assumed you tested out the PC end but had to ask... should have worked. Glad it did. Good to keep in practice doing serial work, been too long.
Have fun, Scott. [ Parent ]
