<div dir="ltr">Hi folks,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I picked up a Radio Shack PRO-107 at HamXposition (actually, my friend John gave it to me as a bonus for buying some other hardware from him). It works well on AA batteries, and I found out I can update it even though the RS software as a doorknob is useless
due to long-dead servers. The database can be updated using Whistler scanner software which uses the same database format. I've been listening to all kinds of funky stuff on this little scanner.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have, however, run into a wall trying to find the USB cable that also serves as a charging cable if you use NiMH batteries. The docs say it is Mini USB, but no, it is not. It's some weird mutation between Mini and Micro USB.<br>
<br>
Does anyone where I could find one of these cables? I tried the RS web site, eBay, Amazon and Google Shopping. Nothing, no trace of it. ??</div>
