Hi Mark, unfortunately I am out at work for the next 2 weeks so if you haven't got it sorted by the time I get back home I will take some pics and let you know the pin outs.

Using the serial cable that came with the LC-2, are you able to talk to the LC-2 using Innovate's application software (LogWorks/LMProgrammer)...?
The sanity test would be to see if LogWorks can communicate with the LC-2.
When you cut/spliced the cable, did you swap/reverse the Tx/Rx wires...?
Pin 1 = Rx
Pin 2 = Tx
Pin 3 = Gnd
Pin 4 = Gnd
I have my MTX-l hooked up, I can check out the colours tonight if you like.
Thanks Darcy, that would be great.
pin numbers you mentioned, are they for the RJ11 or the Innovate Serial out plug?
Colors would help.
I have been omitting the blue wire. I'd hazard a guess it needs to go to pin 5 of the RJ11 connector.

My serial cable for LC2 has 3 wires, white, black, red. they are i the follow pins.
1.black
2.white
3.
4.
5.red
6.
I tried to take a picture but couldnt get a clear one.
Thanks for all your help men! I have solved the problem and hopefully this info will help future LC-2 users.
The wires from the LC-2 WB controller (4-pin plug) are as follows
* Black
* Blue
* Red
* White
I have now learned of 2 separate examples where the corresponding serial cable plug wires (although the same colors) do not match up when plugs are connected. Refer the controller side of the plug when terminating wires to the RJ11 connector.
The required colors and positions for the RJ11 connector are as follows:
1. Not connected
2. White
3. Not connected
4. Red
5. Black
6. Not connected
As long as the connected wires on the RJ11 plug match the controller side of the serial cable connector this should work.
Thanks again to all those who took time to help.
