emitter port to connecting block

Thanks for your quick response.

So, based on that, I presume worst case scenario, if I get a 2 connector plug that fits in the back of the UIRT, even if it is one that I have to run my own wire, I could do that, and be in business?

I see the Opto-isolated cable listed above, but I dont' want to wait on an Internet order. I doubt they'd know what that is either.

You shouldn't need to be opto-isolated/

When going into Radio Shack, what you're looking for is a:

1/8" Stereo Phone Plug

I should have read little further before I dropped the $20 for the IR Linc.

Know that I have the linc. I can not get it to work. I have connected it to my Xantech 789-44. White wire to Signal/Black to Ground. Is this correct? I verified that the UIRT was sending out a signal by plugging in an emitter to the rear jack.

If I walk into a Radio Shack, or call an electonics store, will the know exactly what I want if I ask for a "2 connector phone plug"? If not, can someone provide me a more detailed description of what I want to ask for?

No, I'm afraid not. "Phone" plug is probably the wrong terminalogy. We use to call them "phono" plugs in the old days, but don't think they are called that anymore. The best thing to do is the bring your USB-UIRT with you to Radio shack. They will DEFINITELY have this common plug. Remember all you need is a two-connector, not the three-connector plug....

Good luck.!

To clarify and correct:

A "Phono" plug from the "old days" is now refered to as an RCA plug.

Phone plug is partially correct. You want an "1/8" mono phone plug".

The phone plug got it's name from the phone company as they used to use them to patch calls on a "switch board". Those were the 1/4" version.
