Computer Cable?

[engineco16]

So I just got my BCD396XT from RS after returning the other scanner I had bought. But I can't connect the cable to my PC as it has no serial connectors. So, what do I do? I searched a bit but came up a bit empty.

Either a USB to serial convertor, or Uniden's USB-1 cable.

And check this over carefully:

Never mind, I see that I needed to buy a new cable completely. This scanner is getting expensive

Thanks for the link. I just bought the USB-1 cable. I guess I'll have to wait until next week to use the scanner.
