The UT+ has TTL outputs. Some computer serial ports will work on TTL
voltage levels. But TTL is outside of the RS232 spec. I used a converter.
The common MAX chip works well.
You need to add a DB-9 connector to whatever box holds the UT+. I found a
DB-9 socket with the MAX chip and other parts all soldered together. makes
t easy and only about $4 on eBay I think you'll also need an hex inverter
chip as the RS232 spec uses low the 1 and high for 0 but the UT+ uses the
other more common TTL convention.
I used this one:

(that's ebay item 260838066800 if the above link does not work)
