Review on Ultimate USB Programming Cable for BTECH, BaoFeng, 🔌 Kenwood & AnyTone Radios: BTECH PC03 FTDI Genuine USB Cable by Mark Hicks

This USB to Mic/Headphone Cable allows your CHIRP desktop computer to communicate with your Baofeng UV-5R allowing you to upload/download , enter, rearrange or edit the frequencies and other features of the UV-5R (e.g. screen colors, notification sounds, etc.). I used a cable to match my UV-5R's frequency list to the existing list that came with my RDM-DB RZR Rugged radio. To find a list of frequencies used by RDM-DB, search "Setup for Rugged Radio RDM-DB Radio". This list can then be entered line by line into the UV-5R using CHIRP. To learn how to use CHIRP, please search "How to Use CHIRP Programming Software for Baofeng UV-5R". Using CHIRP for HAM, GMRS and FRS radios. The biggest problem I had with this cable was that my Win10 computer couldn't find the driver for the cable. It was assumed that the driver would be loaded automatically. That didn't happen. Luckily, the instructions that came with the cable showed me where to download and install the driver manually. It took me probably an hour to figure it out like everything Windows related, but eventually the driver installed and the computer recognized the cable. Now everything works fine. One star deducted due to difficulty installing the driver.
