PRO-95, WIN95, USB cable
I have purchased the cable and software from Radio Shack for the Pro-95. It clearly states that it is for the Pro-95 but I cant get it to communicate with the scanner. I have been told there is an update that is needed. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Welcome to RadioReference.com!!! I suspect you have the USB cable. Just make sure the correct driver for the cable and your operating system is loaded. For example, use the Windows7 driver with W7, not the XP driver.
If the cable driver is installed; plug the cable into the computer and not the scanner. Go to Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device manager -> Ports and you should see it listed. That's where you'll learn what COM port has been assigned to the cable. Open up WIN95 and select the same port.
Power the scanner. Plug in the cable to the PC/IF jack. You should see a "CLONE MODE" message on the scanner display. Ignore what the scanner is telling you to do. Use the commands in WIN95 to upload and download with the scanner.
