I thought so too, but then why would it communicate with the PC? I can read/write without any problems from the scanner to the PC USING THIS CABLE WITH THE PUCK DANGLING OFF THE END. Its obviously not the cable then, but if I can read/write to/from the scanner its probably not the scanner either? Unless the USB data pins are different for the PC comms and for the Serial comms? But I can use my scanner as a serial device (think proscan)... So how can it be an issue with the port?

wow good find! that certainly is an interesting quirk. I opened it up, and everything looks good from what I can see. I didn't want to mess with it too much, and it's hard to see to well under the plate. I guess the next step is to send it in?
Actually, based on the above info, it seems that the issue was the BC-OTGC cable. After some research, I got the BC-SGPS working, and ordered myself a new BC-OTGC cable so that I might get the BC-GPSK puck working again. I guess I hadn't tried the 9600 bps rate with the BC-SGPS. I put the results of my research into an easy to read guide in case it helps someone who finds all the nuggets of info scattered around this site just a little confusing. The guide is here.
