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 Angie Anderson

Works great with Baofeng UV-5R

When purchasing a Baofeng UV-5R wireless programming cable, be aware that there are cables that look like they will fit, and they will. However, cheap imitations are just a cable with the right ends and do not include the necessary integrated circuitry on the USB side. These cables will NOT work! I have this cable from Revain. It was shipped very quickly and arrived in good condition. I inserted the mini CD that came with it and set it up on my laptop. I downloaded the free programming software (CHIRP) and started programming the UV-5R with no problems.
