The item I received does not come with a cable. Does anyone have any advice or link to provide to buy a usb cable to program this police scanner?

You can purchase the USB cable from scannermaster.com and then download the software Freescan to program you scanner.

All this scanner does is convert the barcode into a string of numbers, there is no software in it, it works the way a keyboard types numbers in. It will only work on a device with a USB port such as a computer.

Since you asked the question, you are not prepared to program this scanner. The comments made by Al Buterol on 4/7/2014 are right on target. Go one step further and purchase it from the vendor fully programmed for your area of use. Good luck.

I'm using the SD card, but, you can connect the USB cable that comes with the scanner to the scanner and PC, select the USB MSDC mode on the scanner through the main menu, your computer will recognize the scanner (just like it would recognize a camera or flash drive or external backup device), then on your computer go to the drive for the scanner and transfer the images.

I use mine for a police scanner that comes with a CD-ROM that formats the micro SD card and downloads available channels. You might have to get a micro SD card writer/reader in order to format the SD card.

I have this machine and use a bar code scanner but it isn't a USB connection.

If interested in receiving police transmissions, most areas have switches to digital...I've found the Scanner app to be very entertaining. Requires smartphone and wifi.

It has a cord that you just plug into the scanner and your USB port on your computer unless you have a plug adapter for a USB cord. It takes playing with it a little to figure out how to use it but it is very easy to use. I love it.,

Programming cable does not normally come with this scanner but can be purchased from Radio Shack, Scannermaster or Amazon or EBay. It has a USB connector on one end and 1/8 inch, headphone-type plug on the other end. It plugs into the PC/IF jack on the front of the scanner. A programming software program must be purchased and loaded onto your Windows-based computer. I use Win 500 program which can be downloaded off the internet for programming Pro-197 which is the same scanner as the GRE-600 who made both scanners before closing their factory in China in Sept - Oct 2013.

There is one cable that plugs into the charging dock. That will go to the computer so that the scanner can connect to the computer.

Your scanner should be adaptable to the internet. And came with a web site to download the dtcs.......the diagnostic trouble codes that pertain to your vehicle to your vehicle right to your scanner with the USB cable provided.

Yes and No. You can but it will not be that efficent. It will work but it will not work like a normal usb scanner. If you are really mobile it would probably work good but otherwise I would say buy a normal one because they are also more inexpensive . Hope this helps

The USB stick is a little bit bigger than a flash drive. In the box comes the barcode scanner, the USB stick with a lanyard, a USB charging cord, and an instruction booklet. You CAN NOT use it wired. This scanner works well for the money

how's it going, to answer your question no, it just comes with the scanner, manual, and a battery in the package. that cable is an extra purchase (though it would be nice to have)

I have the manual it is 39 pages long if you want I will mail them to you and I also have the disc its Scanner User Guides and Driver User Guide TU-S9 Version 2.02 But none of them helped me. WHERE I we have a place that installs CB'S RADIO'S AND SCANNERS. It took him 15mi. and he programed the whole county I live in fore $25.00 and that was the best money I have spent on this Scanner I was on line and it got so confusing I gave up one that computer and it in 10 minutes to time it was all programed. Good luck and if I can be any more help please let me know.
