Prepare to download your own driver

Cable arrived in good condition. You will need to download other drivers as the Prolific Chip Driver for Windows is not compatible with the cable.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not fancy

Will not work with Windows 10

Supplied without software etc. The cable is not recognized by Windows 10 and the cable does not come with a driver or other information required to make it work with the current Windows 10 software . .

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • Exchange availability

Suitable for Baofeng: CB and Radio

Worked great for programming my Baofeng. I had to contact the seller to get a link to download the appropriate driver, but they responded quickly and everything went smoothly as the radio and twitter were connected. would recommend.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Empty

This cable was perfect for programming my UV-5R radios

Along with Chirp and an email coming from this seller I programmed my radios with no problems. I would suggest paying for a premium access to the radio directory to have access to their listings as well.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Doesn't work with Mac

Although I found and installed Mac drivers for the Chinese USB chip this thing uses, I couldn't get it to work with CHIRP. Everything seemed fine the first time I used it with a PC, but subsequent attempts were unsuccessful. I sent the cable back and bought a cable with an FTDI chip instead. Two stars because it's probably suitable for most PC users.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Minor things

Programming instructions need to be revised

First there is a current firmware update in the img file. Second, the written instructions say to install the img file, and then the diagrams show again to install it again. It is confusing. In addition, the instructions should emphasize that the cable connection to the radio must be firmly plugged in. Finally, can't this be done with the latest version of CHIRP software or not?

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
