Review on πŸ“» Baofeng UV-9R BF-9700 A-58 USB Programming Cable - Genuine Original USB Cable for UV-XR, UV-5S, GT-3WP Plus - Portable Ham CB Radio Transceiver - USA Warranty by Pete Hahn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

There is no mounting screw, but it is not required.

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the HT fastening screw is missing. However, this is not required. Since the "clone" connection isn't used often, a pair of rubber bands will hold it in place during transfers. Keep in mind that this is a dust and watertight connector, not a Kenwood-style two-pronged connector. For operators looking to use CHIRP, I have found that the Baofeng UV-82WP format specified in the latest CHIRP library works well for the UV-9R Plus XT. Also the preferred USB UART device driver is "productive" software. Make sure your active list of device drivers "Fertility" and what is COM? Reportedly used in CHIRP setup.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Long delivery time
