UBCT8 Programming Cable

[Stretch]

Does anyone have a programming cable for the UBCT8. I have looked and looked and all I've found are male to male whereas this one needs a male to female. Anyone have one and if so, where did you get them from???

It's just a 9 pin serial lead, any computer store would sell them.

They all sell male - male. I've found ones to a USB port but I've been told (I wonder by who ) that they're sometimes unreliable

Have you tried Jaycar? I got mine from Jaycar. Sometimes the USB to Serial can be unreliable because you need software driver for them. But sometimes they will work without a problem.

That is a little overpriced though.
Ebay RS232 Search
You might be able to find one at a used computer store or a garage sale or a local market.

I'm sure I have posted this information before, but I can't find any trace of it.

Jaycar sell the required lead. They call it a DB9 extension lead.
1.8M long - Cat No. WC-7534 - page 345 of 2009 Catalogue

You should also be able to get them from Prime Electronics (St Lucia Electronics) at Bowen Hills.

Or from one of the Vendors at the Sundaycomputermarkets, when they return from the Christmas break.

Il see you tomorrow about it anyway stretch you can have mine, its no good to me unless you have the program. I think you can get a free trial for it but yeah all I got was the male to male and then a male-female adaptor.

all i use is a Male - Male with a gender bender from dickies although i got the male to male from something i brought from overseas. also i have the serial for the T8/9 if you are wanting it

[Mathew]

USB to Serial doesn't work for the T8

I can't find one to fit my UBCT9. Absolute waste of time. Uniden should have it as a throw in when U buy or at least an optional extra from them.

[Phil]

would have been good if Uniden did. i have seen them in Jaycar however Dick Smith don't sell them anymore

Yeah I found one last night but I was hoping a local dealer nearby would sell them so I could get it ASAP. Got one coming fron Taiwan but who knows how long that could take.

My local DSE has removed all traces of radio equipment recently. Rang Jaycar and they only had male to male according to the guy on the phone and my local computer store (normally really good) only had male - male

[dags]

just had a look at my adapter it is female to female which plugs into the back of the computer it is a belkin brand hope this helps

[rochedalescan]

Good luck finding a male - female I had to buy the male-male and then get an adaptor from male-female. But im pretty sure I got both parts from jaycar.

Vidcam (Jaycar Toowoomba) at the Hooper Centre, had two WC-7534 cables (DB9M to DB9F RS-232) on display when I was in the shop this morning.
