Serial port programming how to#

I am told I should still be able to do that but the problem is that it is a USB to RS-232 Hub. Three of them are 785XLT's that use a Serial cable. With this written, the problem I face now is that my plan was to use an RS-232 Hub because I have four scanners that I wish to stream that I would like to have remote control over using ProScan. The Amazon item I linked to is a null modem serial port cable.Д¦ Foot DB9 9 Pin Serial Port Null Modem Cable Male / Female RS232 The first problem I have is my wife who's been watching the quantity of my radios grow like rabbits humping.ДЄs I wrote in my first post, I have a Serial Port on the PC. I was going to use a USB to serial Port hub.Д¬lick to expand.Thank you for your help. I checked the PC and it actually does have one serial port on it but I have not been able to find a device that will take one serial port and turn it into 8. I am using Windows 7 on an unused PC but I can upgrade it to Windows 10 if I need to. Am I missing something? I was again planning on leaving the programming cable connected all the time which is why I previously asked about using a USB to serial port hub by Startech. Searching the internet I did find that I'm going to have to install a driver for USB but I don't see that in the manual either. I got old eyes that I got to tell you the printed in the manual for the 996P2 is small! Can the 9-pin serial port be used to program the 996P2? My intention was to leave it connected all the time so it could be remote controlled using ProScan.

I don't read anywhere in the manual where it tells how to physically attach the scanner to a computer for programming. The 996P2 however has what is it a micro C USB connector on the front but then a port on the back for a remote or GPS. As I'm sure most of you know, the XLT's program using the rear 9-pin serial connector. I purchased two Uniden 996P2s to go along with older 785XLT's.
