hey guys gonna jump in on this one, i have a sat meter and it never had problems loading updates,went to update it a few days ago and my cable is gone. Is it possible to cut the end of a straight through rs232 cable and solder on a 6 din to the pinout that was posted, cause i tried it and this home made jobby is not working. thanks in advance if you have any info to offer.

Hi Wickedcid
If you followed the diagram instructions, you should have no problems, however as you don't upload to the meter often, did you make sure you set the com port correctly.

Glad you sorted it.
However if you were working on the voltage side of a device, you could of damaged it.

Simple rule Check, Check & re-Check..
