Jerry -

Might know...   50-50 chance and I get it backwards.

The "longer" connector IS the receiver one, but it is on the SAME side
as the coil.  Just like you said in your post!!

The "short" connector is the transmit one, and is on the side away
from the coil.

Best advice I gave was to remove the little plug button in the end and
LOOK AT the contacts.

The rest was pretty much correct.  I've only got a half-dozen of the
things around here, but they're all behind big, heavy transmitters!

Sorry for the error.
