The voltage and current requirements a virtually the same BUT good old mother /\/\ reversed the polarity of the connector. Center is ground, shell is positive.

I think I found the answer...center is negative and 9v is required.

So now for another one, why the 3 position switch? What does the difference between -, 0, and XP?

Pretty sure this has been covered. Basically it switchs the internal uP frequency slightly to remove birdies that show up with some radios.
