Junior,
I may have mentioned this to you in an earlier post, but there is
nothing magic about a cable for the 2000. Any plain old serial cable,
or USB to serial adapter will work And as has been mentioned, you may
need a gender changer to match the male port on the rig to your
cable. . Not sure what the RT stuff is going to do for you, but
you've got it, so enjoy it.
