The serial cable that comes with the 396T to connect to the PC has a DB9 connector on the PC end, will a DB9 to USB adaptor work as long as the USB driver is installed in the PC, instead of buying the USB cable from Uniden?
Thanks for your help!

Yes you can use any com to USB adapter you want, but the idea of the USB-1 cable is that it is the only cable technically supported by Uniden and does not require the adapter.

The USB cable from Uniden is a Serial-to-USB adapter.
