Cable for programing Baofeng analog radios.

Fixed the problem of programing analog Baofeng radios because of upgrades in Windows 10. Get the cable, download the driver and then use Chirp.

Would not buy again.

Software is not really usable. Not enough English translation. The prongs on the cable fit loose in the radios. USB connection was very loose. Not a good product.

Good cable, bad software.

The cable seems to work well however the software was not so much. I used the chirp download and programed my uv5r. On the other hand, the price was right.

No drivers work in Win 7, tossed in the parts bin.

Looks like a Baofeng cable, but unfortunately no drivers work in Win 7, including the supplied ones that come with the mini-CD. Tried several drivers from the manufacturer but all of them don't work with this cable. Will try on the Zon to see if I can find a cable that will allow me to program UV-5R's with Chirp.Read full review

Does work, driver install confusing

Can confirm, I have read and written to a UV-5R with this cable and CHIRP software. Driver disk is full of junk and Chinese programming software, ignore all that. Also ignore the Prolific driver, this is not a Prolific chip. The chip is model CH340, and the driver is cleverly hidden as "USB. EXE"

Run that, and it will install the correct driver. Sparkfun uses it in some of their stuff, so you can find resources there too. However the included driver installed fine on my windows 10 ver. 20H2 laptop, so I just used that.

Works great on my little Baofeng UV5R. Makes it very easy to program. I wish it worked on my Radtel 470L too.

Good deal!

I am able to program my radio as I had hoped! I used Chirp programming on my laptop and it worked with ease. I’m impressed.

Software Issues

I think overall the programming cord is fine but the software is well out of date and will not work with Windows 10.
