usb-1 cable which chipset

[ke4wkp]

I have a usb-1 cable to program a bcd996xt scanner. I have not updated the programming on my scanner in quite some time. I have since bought a new computer with win 10. While looking for drivers I noticed that there are atleast 2 different chipsets for this cable. PL2303HXA and PL2303HXD. Apparently I need the PL2303HXD chipset in order to work with win 10. This is kind of annoying. Anyway so how do I determine which chipset this cable employs?

Never mind I found the check chip version program. Mine is HXA. So I can either buy a new one. Which is annoying because I feel like uniden is constantly nickel and diming me. Or I can just use my old laptop for updating my scanner. I think I will use the old laptop and check out whistler for my next scanner.

According to this, HXA is win10 compatible using the 1.20.0 driver?

Thank You for this. Maybe this driver will work.

Just a follow up. I tried this driver and it did not work. There is a manual provided, Which states HXA is not supported after Win 7. So I have to buy a new cable after all.

Maybe I should give Uniden more credit. I told them how I feel. I asked for a replacement cable and they gave it to me. No charge. That is good customer service.
