All I can see from a quick browse of the UV/VS2K Tech Manual is
that the cable you want is a BC17Y. I cannot find anything that
documents exactly what the external pinouts are but I didn't look that
hard.
If you want to browse yourself, the manual is at:

It's probably a straight through cable, but I don't have
one to look at myslef so I cannot say for sure!
