The cable you need is a regular PC style IDE cable....just get one long
enough! and make sure you maintain Pin 1 to Pin 1...I MAY have a spare
control cable lying around....but if you get the correct IDC connectors and
flat ribbon cable, you can make your own.....

As for programming them on 6mtr, yes they can...the radio needs to be
retuned (RX Front end especially) but I have 2 of them on 6 already...(I did
them over 10 years ago....found the info from Midland LMR factory guys I
bribed
Programming requires the 70-1080 handheld programmer (about $400) OR the
software AND the 70-1308 interface (about 60-100 bucks aftermarket)
