Review on Fumei 8 in 1 USB Programming Cable for Kenwood, Motorola, Yaesu, Vertex, Icom, TYT, HYT Handheld and Mobile Radios by Marcel Robinson

This cable works great with CHIRP software (from chirp.danplanet.com) and is plug and play on Linux and Windows. but the chipset is Yuheng CH341, not Silicon Labs CP2102 as advertised. This is probably not a problem, and neither Linux nor (latest) Windows versions require a separate driver download. (Given the well-documented issues with the Prolific PL2303 driver, I find it beneficial to use a third-party chipset.) The CH340/CH341 chipset is widely used in the Arduino community, and the driver is easy to obtain if needed . to get it manually, e.g. for an older Windows version. This cable works great with all compatible radios I've tried including the Baofeng UV-5R and BF-888S. In Windows 10, plug the cable into a USB port and let Windows automatically install the CH340/CH341 driver (signed wch.cn), check for Windows Update if necessary, then unplug and plug the cable back in so that a COM port is assigned to it. On Ubuntu Linux 18/19, ensure that the user running CHIRP is a member of the dialout group and that the dialout group has read/write access to the specified USB device (most likely "/dev/ttysUSB0").
