Any competent builder should be able to make an interface and test
that it doesn't put out any damaging voltages before connecting it to
the radio. The cost saving probably isn't the main point of the
exercise, either.

You are not willing to pay $30 for the proper cable with RS-232 to
TTL level
converters built into a compact plug with the proper connectors
and a
guarantee to not ruin your radio?
Amazing...
