[Scan-DC] (no subject)

[oldsdoug at hotmail.com]

Speaking of cables / adapters... I just bought a laptop and of course it doesn't have a serial port.  Does anyone here know if there's such a thing as a USB-to-serial adapter that I can get and safely use to connect my BC-796 Apco-25 scanner to the laptop for programming?

I've just done a search on newegg.com and found some cables that have the right connections, but I don't know whether I can do this without blowing up the radio!

Thanks!

Doug
