  • The KJ6ZWL Programming Cable Does Exactly What It Says!

    I am running CHIRP on Linux Mint and this cable is fantastic! I initially had a problem having CHIRP recognize the USB port, but using the terminal in Linux and typing in a simple command, everything sailed along smoothly at that point and I was able to program 2 Baofeng UV5R's in less than 10 minutes. I would highly recommend this cable to anyone using CHIRP programming software. Don't leave the ham shack without it!

  • A programming cable that works

    Ok, we have all seen the Chinese HT's, at the price - they are good value, but the programming procedures by hand - are - well - inscrutable. Layers and layers of menus that will drive you batty. The answer of course is use your computer to program them. For that you need a cable - which likely did accompany your HT. So you search the internet to find one, and the choices are as many as a buffet. Lots of different cables at different prices. If you want one that you just plug in and it works - give this one a look. Well made, plugs right in - and Win 10 recognizes it with no problems. Download your latest version of a bunch of free software and bingo - your up and running. I really like stuff that works as promised - and this one does.

  • Good quality product, is as represented by the seller

    The "Why": I have a Windows 10 O/S computer and I intend to use CHIRP (and / or the free on-line Kenwood programming download software) to program a Kenwood THF6A. The "Other Expeirence": I have a Baofeng UV-5RA that has the exact same programming cable end where it plugs into the radio as the Kenwood THF6A. Sidenote: 1- I would never trust the programming cable that I use for the Baofeng to plug into my far more valuable Kenwood THF6A. 2- I have heard it mentioned and have had the not so good experience with the Windows 10 O/S in combination with some or most of the so-called "cheap" programming cables, whereas, they are not particularly compatible . To make a long story shorter, about the cheap cable: 1- Whether the one I have is actually a knockoff or not I don't know. 2- With Windows 10 an older driver which is apparently outdated but still available, has to be installed and enabled using task manager, which is something relatively easy for computer geeks, I suppose, but for regular people as deep as you have to go into task manager to accomplish that is time consuming and can be downright maddening, particularly after you have already done that once and, like me, made the incorrect assumption that it would not have to be done again. No, instead, you, in all likelyhood will end up getting what seems to be a mysterious error pop-up message (like I did many times) instead of just plugging the programming cable into the USB port and being able to simply open the program (in this case CHIRP), and procede with the what and the way you expected to. For sure the FTDI chipped cables are far superior to the other numorus "cheap" ones that are out there. With this FTDI USB programming cable, along with the instructions that the seller sends with it, there does not seem to be any onerous and frustrating problems like I had with the "cheap" programming cable. The instructions that the seller included in the package were adequately detailed and understandable. The FTDI programming cable cost more money up front than the "cheap" ones, be they, (the cheap ones); knock-off or not. The quality of the The FTDI programming cable easily makes up for every cent and more the difference in money. Bottom Line: Good quality product, is as represented by the seller, the seller included detailed and accurate instructions. Is definitly well worth the money.

  • Buy this one!!

    After suffering with cheaper cables that simply didn't work at all, I found this one. Although slightly more expensive than the junk ones, these simply WORK!! Within ten minutes of hooking it up, I had my first radio programmed using CHIRP. Subsequent radios in under three minutes each. I am slightly more computer literate than a caveman and this was easy with the included instructions. If I can do it, anyone can. Take your cheap cable that came with the little disk and throw it in the trash.... they are nothing but frustration! Buy this one and be happy! Not a paid spokesman, just a very happy customer.

  • The cable you NEED

    If you want to program your Baofeng, this cable will set you up for exactly that! Follow the instructions, including having the volume all the way up for transfers. Using CHIRP makes the programming easy and might require a bit of planning so you don't have to download multiple times (it resets your radio to original settings- you'll be hearing Chinese all over again). It sets up a database for the memory list that you can move around and save as needed. If you live in a large urban area, there will be bunches to choose from, so be ready for a LOT of testing. It will be worth it.

  • Just buy this one; the cheap junk from overseas doesn't work

    Previously tried to save money by buying a very cheap version of this cable from China. Didn't work at all - USB connector didn't physically make electrical contact with the socket on my computer. Bought a slightly more expensive one from overseas again - this one was at least physically well-built, but it still didn't work because Windows wouldn't play with the counterfeit FTDI serial chip they used - and no combination of the supplied drivers and downloads from elsewhere would make it work. So I caved and just ordered this one. And it came within days, not weeks. And it worked immediately on first plug-in without even having to THINK about drivers. So, to cut to the chase, don't do what I did and waste money on junk while trying to be cheap. You will end up buying this anyway, so I strongly suggest you just skip to the finish.

  • Excellent Cable for use with Chrip Programming Software

    Excellent cable for use with "Chrip" software programming of my vhf/uhf ham radios. Excellent value as well! Very Fast Shipping. Overall GREAT!

  • Works great! Simplifies the process.

    Comes with a good instruction sheet and reference links. The radio and Chirp have their quirks, but the cable works great. Makes programming much easier. I haven't had any issues with the cable itself. The other components require proper process, but no big deal. Just spend a little time with it. Then it's easy.

  • Worked First try! No driver issues! Worth every penny!

    Bought for use on a Mac with Chirp program. Downloaded the recommended driver for Mac and it worked first try. Hooked up my old Wouxun hand held and downloaded the memory set. Then cut and pasted the set to the UV 5R grid in Chirp and uploaded it to the radio. Total time to set up 3 new radios, 10 minutes! Love the cable! No clone cable problems at all with the real cable, it just works.
