<p>If Bry finds a source of high quality cables he might start selling them along with a FREE Linux CD of CHIRP Daily Build and he'd become a Corporate Sponsor with a monthly stipend to the devels.</p>
<p>And cables that fit China radios, too.</p>

No one said you had to program your radio via a computer. You can just<br>
use the keypad to get the same thing done. It's just usually a LOT harder.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, if you want known quality, you can buy solutions from say<br>
RT Systems which include cables (those also occasionally go bad) and<br>
software but if you want to take your saved settings to a new radio, you<br>
have to buy THAT radio's software package. If you have 5 different<br>
radios.. that can get quite expensive in a hurry. Chirp doesn't follow<br>
that approach and one program attempts to program ALL radios but with a<br>
community based effort, you must temper your complaints with how much<br>
you paid for the software. $0 = a few complaints ;-)<br>
