Oops. Wrong USB serial cable. This is the correct one to match with the cable included with the BCT15X.Take a serious look into the BCT15X. Full 225-400 Mhz coverage. Configurable to 25Khz frequency steps and AM mode on any frequency range.
Best scanner I have ever owned for aviation scanning. Civilian or MilAir. I worked Air Field Systems Maintenance in the US Air Force and have had the pleasure of using and maintaining a lot of great aviation radios. The reception capability of the BCT15X compares quite favorably to the best of those.
I use it only for Civilian and MilAir. Easily configurable for 25Khz spacing and AM mode in 137-144, 148-150.8 MHz band for MilAir as well as the 225-400 MHz range.
It is an analog trunk tracker, but I don't use it for that.
Sound is clear and loud. Sensitivity is very good, selectivity very good. Very good image and intermod rejection.
Available from Amazon, ships from and sold by Amazon so easy to return. Bought mine there July 2014. It was the best price then and seems to be the best price now. It comes with an RS-232 programming cable, but you don't need to buy the USB programming cable. Just get a good USB to RS-232 cable. I use this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QCH753K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
