I've had very good luck with USB converters using the FTDI chipset up through Windows 8. I haven't tried it with Windows 10, so I don't know if they still work.
You don't need the USB-1 from Uniden specifically. The advantage of that cable is that it's a one piece cable while the other converter cables terminate in a 9 pin serial connector. The disadvantage is that they were, last time I checked, fairly expensive.
