Where to buy radio shack programming cable

[lightsandsirens]

I just got a Pro-96. It's my first radio shack unit, and good chance it'll be my last.

Who came up with the user interface? I can program any uniden scanner without having to spend days reading the manual, but this thing is nutz...

I managed to get the mowat tower working and I admit the unit does sound nice, but so far it's not worth the amount of hair I lost.

Anyway, I purchased the WIN96 software and got a programming cable online, but it does not work (apperantly the cable I got is useless on newer models even though I was told it would work)

In short, I'm looking to buy the USB cable part 20-047. I found it on scannermaster, but they rape you for shipping so I'm hoping to find one locally.

There are still some Radio Shack outlets in Ontario.
One is on Division St. in Cobourg.
Maybe try Durham Radio in Whitby.

Hi Lightsandsirens,
I have one cable with the RS232 connector if you like. You can purchase a RS232 to USB adaptor.
Let me know and we will work it out.
Take care

Thank you so much the cable works perfect. I just can't get Fleetnet to work even after following the guide on the top here, I need to play around with the base settings I guess. The unit works perfect for everything else...

Thanks to the help of some great members here, I managed to finally get the scanner going.

I was missing the custom table settings...
