[JobabeBob1981]

can anybody assist with where I can purchase?

Be more specific. Electric would mean plug into wall. Take 110 volts and drop to scanner around 9 - 12 dc. Usually called a power cord.

Usb would go off computer and is not referenced as electric. Usually called a programming cable.

Are you referring to a “Programming Cord”? A “power cord”?

If so, you’ve got to tell us which scanner you want to use with it.

This is the data cable that connects from the computer's USB port to the scanner's front programming port (note that the front connector on the scanner is NOT a mini or micro USB connector):

And this is the electrical power supply for the BCD996XT (wall wart):

Would it be this one? Used one for my 396XT. Has a proprietary connector for the scanner.

FreeSCAN is free and will handle anything the BCD996XT scanner can do. Personally, I use Butel ARC-XT Basic for my BCD996XT's. ARC-XT is also a paid program. Both ARC-XT and ProScan have a free trial period to decide which one you like better.

Yes, that is the Uniden (OEM) USB-1 cable used for those scanners. The one I linked to in my post #6 also has the same Hirose connector on it that is used by those scanners, and is significantly cheaper than the Uniden cable.
