Review on Mirkit FTDI USB Baofeng Programming Cable Model 5: The Ultimate Multi-Device Flashing Solution for Baofeng, Wouxun, Kenwood, Mirkit, Motorola, and Yaesu Radios by Richard Summerall

Had the same problem as the previous reviewer. None of the connection cables work. I couldn't get it to work with my BTECH UV-25X2 or UV-5R. The official Baofeng cable works with my UV-5R. I, since the UV-25X2 only uses a standard headphone cable, I just plugged the aux cable into the radio and USB cable and it worked (thanks to a previous reviewer for the tip!). The USB cable works, but neither the UV-5R nor UV-25X2 attachments work. Avoiding one star due to the fact that I was at least lucky enough that the radio I was going to use uses a standard cable I have lying around and the USB portion of the cable also uses a standard headphone jack. So I think you could buy this if your radio uses the same connection as the UV-25X2 and you also have/buy an extra cable.
