BC346XT Clonning Error

[captncarp]

Tried to clone two BC346XT using the included cabes plugged together with a DB-9 male-male connector.
When I hit Scan on the Master scanner it searches for a moment and displays ERROR on the Master.
They both say they are Version 1.05.00.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Do you have a null modem in there?

A better solution - and free, too, as long as you have a USB cable - would be to dump one scanner's contents into software like FreeScan, then upload to the second scanner. Instant clone, with a backup to boot

Yes I did use a male to male gender changer I bought from Scannermaster.
I don't no why everthing with Uniden scanners is such a hassle. I have cloned and upgraded lot of GRE scanners with no problem at all.
I'm not going to load everything from one scanner into a PC and then down loaded to a scanner. IF I do what Uniden says is suppose to work for WIRED CLONING then I expect it to work. WITH UNIDEN IT DOESN'T.
So back to GRE I GO!

Do you both the gender changer AND the null modem adapter?

That worked. Thank you.
Too bad Uniden couldn't say that in there instructions for Wired Cloning.

Glad you got it going.
