Bob,

If you are talking about the cable that runs from the satelite to the box,
then that is just a RG-6 cable which can be bought at any Radio Shack.
Look at the cable to be sure it will say RG-6 or RG-72??
If they changed the cable like, two RG-6 together and a ground in the
middle then goto a cable supplier.

The need for a wiring schematic???  Unless you want to do something to the
inside of the box.  The output should be a RS-232 (25 pin connector) the
layout of the pin # below:
Pin#            Circuit name        Description
1                    AA                    Protective ground
2                    BA                    TRANSMITTED DATA
3                    BB                    RECEIVED DATA
4                       CA                REQUEST TO SEND
5                    CB                    CLEAR TO SEND
6                    CC                    DATA SET READY
7                    AB                    SIGNAL GROUND

There is more but these are the most important.  I don't have DTN
anymore.  I hope this is what you wanted.

Trade Well,
Joe Frabosilio
