I've got a couple kicking around.  They work, more or less, but they have a
lot of trouble reading some smaller barcodes.  Not counting shipping, I paid
$5 for the Symbol scanner I'm using, and it's way, way better than a Cue
Cat.  Keep in mind that lots of PCs don't even come with serial ports these
days, so for most people serial barcode scanners are worthless.  They happen
to be perfect for APRS, though.  Watch eBay and you'll probably be able to
find one cheap.
