Review on Mirkit FTDI USB Baofeng Programming Cable Model 5: The Ultimate Multi-Device Flashing Solution for Baofeng, Wouxun, Kenwood, Mirkit, Motorola, and Yaesu Radios by Meechie Camlin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

looks good physically but unfortunately didn't work

The cable itself looks physically well made, but it failed where it counted. Plugged into my laptop, received a signal, connected the radio but the cable refused to transmit/receive. It was advertised as plug and play but it is not. My Lenovo is running the latest version of Windows, so I'm not missing anything. I did some research and found forum posts saying I might be missing a driver for the ftdi chip. Didn't want to mess around with my laptop much, recently bought it for 2k and didn't want to put a download in it that wasn't 100% trustworthy. Tried and tried the next day and then gave up and sent the cable back as it wasn't worth my time to get it working.

Pros
  • ✔️A special Baofeng programmer + Mirkit channelist firmware will be provided upon request. A step-by-step guide is provided for WIN10 driver issues!
Cons
  • Volume
