Default Pro-89 scanner-PC cable help

I purchased a Pro-89 off eBay and downloaded the software to program the
scanner with my PC. However, I do not have the scanner-PC cable -- as I
recall, the cable has a DB-9 serial connector on one end and a two-connector
3.5mm plug on the other.

Does anyone have one that you would sell, or, can anyone point me to a
schematic so I can build my own?

I'm trying to find a schematic through Google without much luck. Thanks.

Thanks. I had one of scanner-PC cables, lost it in Hurricane Katrina, and
as I recall it had the 3.5mm stereo plug, not the mono plug that the other
one has.

Do you recall using a mono-stereo adapter with it?

The scanner is 5 volts, RS232 is 12 volts - something's missing.


No, nothing is missing. Communication is one way, PC to radio. The radio has
a level shifter circuit built in. Other radios with the same setup are the
PRO-64, 76, 79, 82, 2016, 2017, and 2041. There are no Starrsoft programs
for any of these radios and the cable mentioned on their website is not
appropriate for these radios.

Nope, just plugged it straight into the scanner.
