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 Sandra Edwards

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works with Baofeng BF-F8HP but not others

This is not an original manufacturer product, it is a copy and will not work with all Baofeng radios that claim to work. It works well with Baofeng BF-F8HP when you try to program from CHIRP. But with any other radio, you only get part of the program. This is because the chip on the USB side of the cable is a fake chip and the radio can't read everything it needs to read. For some reason the BF-F8HP radio doesn't need everything a REAL chip produces, but the other radio works and won't program properly.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Weak set
