ARCXT: BCT15X USB-1 Connection issue

[marvinsuggs]

I'm using ARCXT software with a BCT15X scanner and USB-1 Cable. The scanner comes with a serial port cable, unfortunately my computer doesn't have a serial port. I bought a USB-1 Cable from Amazon to overcome that. Apparently the computer doesn't have the right driver. I went through the Uniden/Scannermaster rabbit hole searching for the correct driver, but got nowhere. Any help is greatly appreciated. Marvin N5RKW

Been several years, but I think I got the driver here.

Can you post a link to that specific cable that you purchased from Amazon.

Make sure you have the latest model of the USB1 cable, older USB1 cables are not compatible with windows 8/10/11.

With the cable connected to your computer....

Look in your computer's "device manager" under the heading "Ports (COM and LPT)" to see if there is a valid "COM" port assigned to that cable when it's plugged in to the computer. If there is a COM shown for that cable, the cable and driver are working. If it doesn't have a COM port number assigned to it, is there an error message there? What exactly does the error message say?
