<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt">I use 3 PL2303 cables in Windows 7. One for Baofeng F-11, Wouxun<br>KG-UV6D/UV6Dv2, one for Anytone AT-5888UV, and one cable that<br>was an extra for Anytone. I skinned the cable back to expose the white and black<br>wires. Soldered on a mini 6 pin DIN cable with two wires leading to pins 2 and 6<br>for my Yaesu FT8900. So that PL2303 will work on Anytone and Yaesu models<br>with a 6 pin mini DIN data jack. Next I will ad a third radio plug to that cable and<br>it will work with my two Yaesu hand helds that use a 3.5mm plug. I'm not sure<br>if they combine send and receive though but if they do, that cable will also terminate<br>into a 3.5mm plug. I can also buy cable components from a friend who has the parts.<br>He's etched the prototype pc boardthen sent it off to a small company that replicated <br>50 units. All it is then is to
populate the board with either FTDI or Prolific, a few other<br>components and enclose the board in heat shrink tubing after the cords are attached. <br>This USB to serial really is amateurish at best. <br><br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Jim Unroe <rock.unroe@gmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Saturday, February 1, 2014 6:59 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng CT-3 programs as ur5 SOMETIMES<br> </font> </div> <div
