<div dir="ltr">Is this the Baofeng UV-5R? I apologize if this has already been brought up before, but I always just use the RT Systems (in Colorado) cable and software. I have bought 25 different sets of cable+s/w for my radios and never a hitch once. I learned my lesson the first time I got a Chinese radio with s/w that was not in English, some of the characters in the path for some of the drivers on the disc provided were hard-coded into Chinese, so it took forever to try to get a "good" driver and cable. I am the poorest of hams and I will tell you that I will ALWAYS go to RT Systems for the cable and software. It's just plug 'n play. It's not worth the time I would spend trying to use old, generic or "fake" stuff to make it work. I realize it's possible that I will only use the software once, but I don't care. Programming a radio manually or with non-standard parts just isn't worth my time. Go ahead and spend the fifty bucks and get the RT Systems equipment unless you love headaches or big challenges: <a href="https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/baofeng-uv-5r-radio-programming-software-s/2225.htm">https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/baofeng-uv-5r-radio-programming-software-s/2225.htm</a>.<div><br></div><div>Good luck!</div><div><br></div><div>73 de Shon, K6QT</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small">Shon R.
