Dec 2, 2021 · I use a genuine FTDI USB to RS232 cable between the computer and the stock BCT15 cable. It works flawlessly. What I don't know is if the BCD996XT and BCT15 use the same cable, but believe it does. I have had bad luck with the USB to RS232 cables that use Cyprus drivers (usually made in China) so I suggest any cable with the genuine FTDI chipset.

Feb 25, 2023 · You can fabricate your own USB or RS-232 Programming Cable but would need the connector, pins, and tool to crimp the pins. The RS-232 Data Cable is a very cost-effective option but you'd still need to place a jumper between Pins 14 & 15 before the radio will power up, even if Ignition sense is disabled.

Feb 19, 2010 · I am desperate for a data cable for the 245XLT. I have tried to source one and been watching ebay with no luck. Has anyone identified the type of connector on the radio so I could buy one from digikey, mouser, etc. Also, does the cable have a voltage level converter in it? Some sites say yes, most say no. Maybe, the converter is in the radio ...

Aug 18, 2014 · There is a serial port cable (typically comes with new scanners), that is the 9 pin cable. You will typically only see serial ports on older model computers, and typically they are on the motherboard (back of the computer). Most laptops have this plug. The second cable (most of the time sold separately) is the USB cable.

Feb 26, 2025 · This USB to Serial RS232 Adapter is an essential tool for connecting legacy serial devices to modern USB ports. Built with a high-quality FTDI chipset, it offers reliable operation and is fully compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

Sep 24, 2009 · PRO-97 cable vs PRO-164 cable The cable for which I posted the schematic above just uses a couple of transistors to change the voltage levels. It should be noted that RS-232 is a +/- 12 volt signal (24 volt change). The PRO-92 (which the above cable works with as well) uses 5 volt technology and the later scanners use 3.3 volt technology.

Oct 2, 2015 · Not really trying to resurrect this thread. Just want to pass this information along. There is a difference in a 232 null modem cable and a 232-c. That's where I originally went wrong. Bought a 232-c or straight cable and wamo I now have the computer control thr gig. So if anybody is struggling with this like I did the 9 pin 232-c cable will work.

Jul 6, 2019 · On the cable made for the 8200 between the 8200 connector and the DB9 there is a level converter that goes from TTL+5 to RS232 with +- voltages. You either need a MAX232 chip or a transistor circuit for that in a DB9 to FFC AR8000 cable.
