Re: Anyone know where I can get a programming cable in Canada?

You shouldn't need all 9 wires. I'm not aware of ANY application that uses all 9 wires in a DB-9 connector for serial communication, though some special application might. I too am needing a cable for my 245.

The virtual control worked fine but transfering frequencies and IDs would not.Also the backup program would not work. It looks like to do transfers you need the hand shaking lines for this to work. Oh well I definetly will need a cable. Too hard to wire to all 9 connects in the scanner.
