<p>I recently ordered this TENQ "cloning" cable from Amazon:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MK02BX2">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MK02BX2</a></p>
<p>This cable has Kenwood style connectors (3.5mm TRS & 2.5mm
TRS) on each end, for radio-to-radio configuration copy between
Baofeng, Wouxun, and "any two-pin style radio with a Kenwood
Baofeng plug".</p>
<p>I wanted to verify the pinout before adding it to my radio bag.
So I spent several hours scouring the Internet for a wiring
diagram for such a cable, but with no success. Even simple pinout
descriptions were somewhat vague ("back-to-back", etc.). So I
ultimately buzzed out the cable with a DVM, tabulated the results,
and mocked up a JPEG diagram based on an image that originally
came from <a href="http://Miklor.com">Miklor.com</a>. See attached for the finished product. The
diagram shows that the cable basically has Data Tx from one end
connected to Data Rx on the other and vice-versa, with Data Ground
connected between both ends.<br>

<p>I wanted to submit this to John for possible inclusion on his
site, but I don't see any contact form there. I do know that he
posts to this list so here I am... John, if you are interested,
feel free to re-post wherever you'd like, maybe here?</p>

<p>P.S. I do understand that this list is for CHIRP issues, hence
any cable discussion would normally be limited to "programming"
cables, e.g. Kenwood to USB with a suitable integrated controller
chip. However, I am thinking that this info might be useful to
some folks here regardless.<br>
