Cable that works for my Radio Shack PRO-433
The last few years it has been harder and harder to get cables to find the correct COM port on computers. In the old days it was pretty easy. Now you got to use a USB port/COM port and have to make sure you have the correct chip in the cable.
This cable works great. It is now so easy to program my scanner. I can do it online and make changes in seconds.
You will need software. I am using ARC433 software.

Very Hard To Program
It is very complicated to program for your local frequencies if with the USB link cable and software. Also you really need to have an outdoor antenna for it function well.

Radio Shack name brand and flawless.
Works perfectly with my Radio Shack PRO-164. Didn't want to risk trying to make my own. Didn't want the uncertainty of an off-brand. Every Radio Shack brand item I've ever used as been top notch. This is no exception. Get it while they last! Poor management is forcing Radio Shack out of business.Read full review

Worked like it's supposed to.
Bought a Radioshack Pro-2096 recently. Got the software to program it, ordered the cable I was needing. Was easy to use and also plug and play. Only complaint was that the lights on the cable didn't illuminate to show that it was connected, as my computer gave no signs other than the initial plug in sound. But not going to give a bad rating because of a feature I would like on it. Read full review

Great item!!
This item came 3 days early and in great condition. No complaints. Also had instructions with it to know how to use it with my scanner!!! Followed instructions and it worked perfectly with my scanner. I was able to not only get all the frequencies and info off my old scanner but was also able to send it to my new scanner and now because of this cord my new scanner works perfectly just like my old one did!!!)
Thank you!!Read full review

Radio Shack FTDI cable
Appears to be a very well made comparable OEM scanner programming cable. Works great to use your computer and compatible software to program scanner frequencies. Especially older scanners that can be rebanded for narrow band.Read full review

THIS is the cable you want!
THIS is the cable you want. The cheap imported stuff from China doesn't work (I was stupid and wasted money and time going cheap). This is a good looking, good quality cable with a chip that actually works smoothly and seamlessly as advertised. I would buy this cable again in a heartbeat and/or buy others made by KJ6ZWL for my other scanner/ham radio programming needs.Read full review

Great Product, Good Quality
Bought this cable to program my Pro-652. Was easy to install, plug and play. Updated my Pro-652 to new firmware version. Then used Arc500 to program it (Hint: let the program switch the scanner into programming mode). Everything went smooth.Read full review

The only way to go with my Pro-163
I bought a mint Pro-163 scanner, as my county is still analog. This cable, and Arc 300 were purchased. I followed the instructions that were supplied with this cable, and the driver was downloaded. Works great! Windows 10.Read full review

Quality product by a professional
I am very pleased with my purchase. This is very well made, includes the adapter that fits my radio and works fantastic. It is also not near as bulky as the old radio shack unit and even less expensive. I highly recommend it.Read full review

Worth the extra few bucks.
This cable, while a bit more expensive than competitors,is worth the money for the peace of mind that it will work correctly. This is a good quality cable, backed by the seller's guarantee of functionality. Pay the couple extra bucks, support a local radio enthusiast, and enjoy Read full review
