So i'm about fed up trying to program this scanner, i bought it used on eBay and also purchased an FTDI programming cable on eBay. It said it is the same as the RS 20-546 cable, just technically not the real radioshack branded one. I'm wondering if my issues are stemming from that... So i would like to ask a few questions.
In order to upload to the scanner, do i have to go into the GLOB settings, then Clone Send: then select that and then plug the cable in, in order to do communication? Because if i just plug the cable in it doesn't do anything. It stays scanning and it can't communicate. Furthermore, i am not able to do a CPU update. I put it into CPU update mode, and it still says "Wait for PC/IF" and the CPU updater can't establish communication.
The most communication i have gotten is downloading my current PSR-500 configuration. I have done that successfully, but have not been able to ever upload. The only way i was able to download was to do the procedure above, where i go into the GLOB settings and then put it into Clone Send mode. If i do this again, i can't get the upload to work.
I bought a pro 164 on ebay that was heavily used, and this cable won't do any communication with it either, but since it's been kind of abused i figured that PC/IF jack was bad. Now though, i am questioning the cable.... i dont know guys, what do you think? The fact it won't even communicate to do a CPU update is suspicious, and the fact it won't communicate with the other scanner is also suspicious. Surely they BOTH aren't bad PC/IF jacks. So anyway any insight would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
