Retevis Programming Baofeng Kenwood Talkies Review

I had difficulties at first because my radio (Baofeng UV-5R) would transmit when connected to a computer, which a lot of people complain about. It was finally resolved when I followed someone else's advice here in the comments and disabled the device driver from all power management in Windows. I downloaded the driver and software from the Retevis website. I'm not sure if the device driver or the broadcast was causing my problems when I tried to connect to my computer but my cursor stopped…

After I installed the correct driver for my operating system, it was fully operational. I have read many reviews on many of these cables on Revain including many horror stories about different chipsets and hardware connectors not matching the device and people claiming to have wasted hours and days and based on decent reviews I decided on this one. . and the guys posted a lot of useful information about drivers, com ports and so on.

I recently got a Tech Ham license and to celebrate I bought a Btech UV-5X3 tri-band radio and a Baofeng GT-3TP Mark III tri-power radio, to get started and I got this cable to get started programming them too. The radio end of the cable fits both radios well, some cables from other manufacturers seem to have this problem but not this one. The build quality of the cable looks pretty good although time will tell. I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and the driver loads automatically when I plug it…

I give this product 5 stars because after installing all the required software it worked perfectly. I just received these yesterday. Any other feedback here about them not working is either competitors reject you or they have a broken key. I assure you I am not a bot and not a paid review. Read my other reviews, I don't mind saying it like it is if I get ripped off. You can hand program your BOAFENG, but it takes so long to hand key in all those long frequencies, it's ridiculous. So I think…
