I was wondering if there are any other progamming USB cables you could use instead of the Uniden one?
Except for the BC125AT, no Uniden scanner uses a USB interface. BC246XT, BCT15 (that you list in your sig) both use serial and connect using a non-standard connector. The only all-in-one cable you'll find is the USB-1.
What you are looking at there is doing the same thing as what DigitalSandwich showed. It is just done in a neat, small package. The Serial-USB converter part is in the lump in the middle of the USB-1 cable.Okay, so there is no other cables like this out there? Or does Uniden scanners need to have a specific kind like the one shown in the link. Of course other then needing a USB part that would fit the scanner.

The physical connector is actually a defunct/little utilized USB connector. I have a couple cords from cheapo digital cameras with that connector. Uniden just decided to make use of it.The connector on the scanner end is not referred to as "USB". I don't know what its proper name is, but USB it ain't. It's something proprietary.
I just purchased a BCD996XT and a BCD396XT I have a Belkin USB to serial adapter installed will this work as far as programming and web server/control or will I have to buy the USB-1 cable? Is there any difference as far as speed between the two cables? Thanks
