You need a "Null modem" adapter or cable between the serial computer connection and your radio.

A "Null modem" is just an adapter that changes where specific wires go from one end of the 9-pin serial connector to the other, as opposed to making a straight-through connection.

Some radios need a Null Modem connection (like the Yaesu VR-5000), while others use a straight-through connection (like my Kenwood TS-570D(G)).
