Well, I took apart the IR blaster and found out that the Anode was wired to the tip and the Cathode to the ring. I put a new 1/8" connector on the end and it wired it as you suggested here (

Now all I need to get is your anticipated updated software to take advantage of the separate zones so I can control two like cable boxes with one USB-UIRT.
Thanks for a great product!
