i have an rs232 / ttl converter and i cannot get it to output the rs232 data to the arduino
the rs232 data is being send from a tracking device
i can connect the rs232 port to the usb / serial adaptor and i am able to output the data being transmitted to screen. I am using a third party serial monitor software to read the rsa232 data So this proves the tracking device is outputting the data correctly
when i unplug the d9 connector from the serial / usb adaptor and connect it to the d9 of the rs232 / ttl connector the data does not appear on the arduino monitor
below is my sketch i am trying
any advise would be appreciated i have been working on this for days and i cannot get it working

Software serial multple serial test
Receives from the hardware serial, sends to software serial.
Receives from software serial, sends to hardware serial.
The circuit:
- RX is digital pin 10 (connect to TX of other device)
- TX is digital pin 11 (connect to RX of other device)
Note:
Not all pins on the Mega and Mega 2560 support change interrupts,
so only the following can be used for RX:
10, 11, 12, 13, 50, 51, 52, 53, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69
Not all pins on the Leonardo and Micro support change interrupts,
so only the following can be used for RX:
8, 9, 10, 11, 14 (MISO), 15 (SCK), 16 (MOSI).
