Software for RS 20-163

[N9RMA]

Is there a downloadable site for my 163 scanner? Need to program sum trunking systems..Also could use a USB cable for said equipment. Thanks Bob N9RMA

Actually you want this page from our wiki...

With RS pretty much gone, if you can't find the USB cable elsewhere (without paying an arm and a leg for it), it's just possible that the Whistler cable (linked in the USB article referenced above) might work, but since I don't have that scanner, this is mostly a WAG

The link I posted gives you the same info. Usually the RS (GRE) cable work for more than one scanner model. I have the Pro 106/Whistler 1040, and the cable for that works with my other RS scanners. OINfo from Scanmaster says the same cable works on that scanner as the Pro 106/Whistler 1040. I have the original version, and it works on Windows 10 64 bit with no problem. The newer version https://whistlergroup.com/collectio...e-cable-for-ws1040-ws1065?variant=27902505286 should work for you.

I bought this cable: Radio Shack Scanner FTDI Programming PRO-106 PRO-197 PRO-651 PRO-652 20-546 500 | eBay for my PRO-651, but it also works on my PRO-163. I've been using PSREdit 300, which works well for me.
