🔌 Baofeng Programming Cable Mirkit CH340 Chip for UV-82 + Various Baofeng Ham Radios - UV-5R, 5RA, BF F8HP and more! Review

I bought a Baofeng phone, hoping that there will be no constant problems with non-working after-sales service. Unfortunately, this doesn't work properly either. The PTT button won't know you're using it if you don't hold it at the right angle. The sound that comes out is not as good as on the radio. The size and weight of the tube is nice and perfect. for what i have done.

This cable does the job. There are some issues where you sometimes have to unplug and plug the cable back in to program another radio after you have just successfully programmed one. The drivers for the chip in this cable appear to be patchy. Next time I will choose the ftdi cable but for now with only two radios I have this will help. If I hadn't realized that you have to unplug and plug the cable back in for it to work, this wouldn't have happened.

Great support from seller. Easy to follow instructions. The Windows 8.1 machine installed the driver without any problems. UV82 and UV82L programmed. This is a must have for those serious about programmed stations. CHIRP handles this with ease. Ability to save and import various configuration files. THIS CABLE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! CHIRP NOTE: Check firmware version between models. DO NOT import the file from any other firmware. It's better to copy the required information from another…

Finally found one that works when you plug your headphones into the jack. I bought two other Baofeng and Pofung brand models that have this jack, but I didn't sell it as a headphone jack, and it wasn't a power jack. I tried different headphones in these two, disconnected them and soldered a 3.5 mono connector to the board. But they don't work. This mentioned a jack in the description. And that's why I bought this one. The description also states that this is the original Baofeng, but it has no…

I used this article to connect my laptop computer to a Baofeng handheld ham radio to flash the radio's memory with the simplex frequencies I use regularly program and, for frequency repeaters, the tones and offsets needed to communicate with individual repeaters. This works great with the free downloadable Chirp software. Regarding the features listed by Revain for review - thickness, battery life, and sound quality - this product has no batteries, no sound, and as for the thickness, that…

First impressions: very light (though not good), very stiff cable, everything looks cheap (because it is). The PTT buttons seem to work. The sound quality of the speaker is quite good. Bad: The LED does not work on the device I received. The AUX jack only outputs mono sound, so if you want to use a headset/headphones you will only get sound through one side. The clamp is so flimsy that it's useless - not even strong enough to support the speaker's weight, let alone hold it up while running or…

Until someone else does it better, that's about it. Like everything, it's built for a price, and it shows. The plastic is light and cheap, the cable is stiff and doesn't stretch. He pulls the radio out of his belt pouch and doesn't wrap it around his back to his lapels. It's too short. If you get it, if you just have to tilt your head to speak normally, it's pretty tight and tugs at your shirt. The rocker loves to get stuck in the down position causing an open/hot mic situation and this is only

Cable looks high quality and goes well with Baofeng UV-5R wireless connectors. The cable worked well with this setup: LinuxMint 18 Host OS, Linux Kernel 4.4.0->VirtualBox Virtual Machine Software 5.1.38-->Skywave Linux Guest OS 3.1.1--->CHIRP programming software, version daily-20180519 ( dies was preinstalled in Skywave Linux) ---> Baofeng UV-5R Radio, with firmware BFB298 Linux OS identified the cable as built with Prolific chip. On Linux, no driver installation/manipulation was…
