Does anyone know where I can get a USB Cable to power/program my TRX-1, like Walmart, etc., rather than ordering one from Whistler?
Please advise and thanks in advance1

If I'm not mistaken that cable is a USB-A to a Coaxial type plug. Is that correct? If so, you want be able to get it from anywhere local to you I'm afraid.

If you live near a Micro Center they should have them.

You also can check their stock of items on the website.

Thanks everyone for your help. I guess to be on the "safe side" I will order it from Whistler.

No need to do that. I have a TRX-1, and use mini-B cables I purchased from Amazon for both the TRX as well as the Uniden scanners.

Forget the cable for programming. Removing the SD card and using an adapter to plug directly into the computer USB port is many times faster. When you get the cable, do not connect it or unplug it when the radio is scanning. The SD card is the weak component in the setup and can be corrupted if the power is interrupted while the scanner is on. Any good quality cable with the correct connector should work.

Here's a pair of 6 footers for $5.88. No need to spend more. I use them to power my
TRX-1's. Put your SD card in a card reader for programming, it's many times faster than using the cord.
