<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

for driver 3.2.0.0. It is easy to roll back the

nice, but I have several cables for many different
radios that use the same driver. Not as big of a deal
as some would lead you to believe. <br>
