PRO-650 programming

[HWG]

Is ARC404 the only software that will work with the PRO-650 desktop scanner?

Is the 20-546 the correct cable I will need? I have a feeling this might be a challenge to find.

According to this wiki page, there are 3 possible software options.

I had come across Scancat but it just seemed sketchy to me. Be interesting to hear from anyone that might be a user of it. I hadn't seen PSREdit100. I'm guessing that is because it lists PRO-405 which looks to be the same as the PRO-650.

I use scancat to program a RS PRO 404. It does work..

OK, thanks for that, though it does appear to be priced much more than the other 2. I think I'll be taking it off the list of consideration.

Anyone know if the 20-546 cable is the same as the 20-047 cable? Having options when trying to source this programming cable will be helpful it seems.

It appears the GRE 100-016 cable will also work. Just trying to compile some good information on cables for future reference.

Some cables have 3.5mm mono ends and others stereo ends. The cables with the stereo ends tend to come with mono adapters.

The RadioShack 20-049 cable looks to have a stereo end but with a 9-pin serial connector. Doesn't look like it has a mono adapter included with it. I wonder if it would work on the PRO-650 as well?

Are PC/IF ports mono or stereo or both?

The list doesn't include the PRO-650 which this thread is about.

With the purchase of an Uniden BCT15X, I think I will be letting the PRO-650 go.
