Review on πŸ”Œ Baofeng USB Programming Cable - PL2303 Compatible with Chirp for Two-Way Ham Portable Radios: UV-5R, BF-F8HP, BF-888S, UV82HP, GT-3, UV-9S, BF-R3 (Black) by Erica Williams

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works on my Boafeng UV-5R (Windows 10)

I downloaded CHIRP and got this cable to program my UV-5R to FRS/GMRS channels and my local repeaters. The only unusual thing was that I had to go into Device Manager and scroll down until I found the radio in one of the USB dropdowns and clicked "Load Driver". After automatically searching the web for a driver, I opened CHIRP and the radio was listed as COM3. However, when I plugged in the radio the second time, it said COM4.

Pros
  • Something about it
Cons
  • confused
