 works perfectlyFeb 26, 2010
By James Prine
I bought the Uniden USB-1 programming cable to complement my Uniden BCD-396XT digital trunktracker scanner. It did not come with a driver, so I searched the 'net for an appropriate driver, loaded it, and after that, and also after installing appropriate software (I chose Freescan), I installed it without any problems whatsoever (Freescan even auto-searches for an open COM port).
Does it work? Yes indeed; the cable itself is sturdy, well engineered, and seems to be immune to inferference from the computer. With this cable hooked in to my scanner, I can not only program it whenever I want, but can also control the scanner through it! What an incredible luxury to do that, in a stationary or mobile environment (autologging when traveling is an incredible tool).
Sure, you can cobble together your own cable from bits and pieces, but I think this cable was money well spent; YMMV of course .

 Ok... but why pay so much?Sep 27, 2011
By S. Eckelberry
The product works fine, but you have to install drivers with this cable. Why not take the Serial cable that is included in the box with your scanner and connect it to this inexpensive TRENDnet USB to Serial Converter TU-S9 (Blue) serial adapter... Your computer will recognize it immediately, and no extra drivers are required. Your software will work fine with this inexpensive alternative.

 Not Necessary with Uniden BCD996XT ScannerMay 14, 2011
By George Spear

This might be a great cable to connect your computer to a Uniden digital scanner but I discovered that the new Uniden BCD996XT I purchased from Amazon ALREADY has a serial port cable included. If your computer doesn't have a serial port, it's probably a good idea but I spent almost 40 bucks for nothing. Restocking fees prevent me from sending it back. Heads Up!!

My wife has a Uniden Nascar scanner SC230 and I have Uniden BC346XT, this connects to both and makes programming them very easy.

 Works so soMay 06, 2011
By Mike
I had this cable for a month before it failed. Works ok on Windows XP and Windows 7 32bit. DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS 7 64BIT. Also cable is way too fragile. For a radio cable, it took a very light fall to the floor, and failed to work afterwords. It's no big loss to me, as I found it was MUCH slower than using the factory default serial cable and a Keyspan Serial to USB cable. This works so much better than the USB-1. The USB 1 is also too short for most practical applications.
Save your money, go with a Keyspan USA-19HS adaptor and the factory serial. You'll be much happier.
