Remote Interface; Connecting The Scanner - Uniden SC200 Operating Manual

You can communicate and program your SC200 in
numerous ways with peripheral devices using the Remote
Interface Cable port. This radio offers the following modes:
SMARTSCAN MODE
n
Automatically load frequencies, from the Uniden
National Frequency Database server into your
scanner using an external modem or an internal
modem included with a PC.
CLONE MODE
n
Clone all the frequencies of your scanner into
another SC200 .

Connecting the Scanner

Scanner to PC
Plug the smaller end of the supplied remote interface cable
into the remote port on the right side of your scanner.
When connecting the cable to your scanner, make sure the
label side of the cable is facing forward.
Plug the other end of the cable (DB-9 serial connector) into
a personal computer's serial port. A few PC's may require
an adapter, most will not. You may need a DB-9 to DB-25
null modem adapter, available at most computer stores. Of
course, make sure your PC is turned on.
To use SmartScan mode with an internal modem, you will
need a small custom software program to allow the serial
port to talk with the internal modem and act as a simple
"pass through" device. To download this free program, go
to Uniden's website, look up under Scanners
"SmartScanner" or the SC200 scanner, for the
SmartScanner software. Run this program and it should
automatically set the port setting for you (although you can
override the settings). Make sure that you have a phone
line plugged into the modem jack on the back of your PC
and your scanner is connected to the serial port of the PC
using the supplied cable.
