[chirp_users] Problems Connecting Baofeng UV-5R to Software

[CJ Burchfield]

Not sure if this will help or not, but in my testing, the UV-E5 radios, 
which I understand are the same as the UV-5R (please correct me if I am 
wrong)  won't work with the Wouxun cable.  I have found that a TYT radio 
cable does work.

Thanks,
