Trying to read scanner keep getting error message? Using Win500 program and program cable from Radio Shack that i got with scanner when purchased several yrs ago. I can see the cable working but get error. Please help
Thanks, unplugged the pigtail from the RS cable and worked like it should. BTW using MS XP computer. Great friend of mine done initial programming when purchased and knew to obtain to the RS cable but not missed with since he programmed it.
I caught myself trying to use the pigtail several times when I first got my Pro-197 a few years back. I finally put an identifier tag on it and moved it to my "junque box" and no longer keep it with the cable. I suppose a person could even discard if if you don't own or anticipate owning an older scanner that requires the pigtail. I'm too much of a packrat to go that far but not keeping it with the cable has saved me a lot of frustration.
