I've learned over the years that getting my programming cables on eBay is
generally the best bet, I usually aim for kawamall listings but there are
others just as good. I just frequent them because though they send a lot of
emails confirming your order and all, most being junk, that's all you get
from them and the cables come fast, are quality and I have yet to have one
fail, I even have their Motorola RIB and find it works on radios that
nothing but Motorola RIB's work.
