tralineUSB Programming Cable Replacement for Baofeng UV-5R Driver CD Software UV-82 BF-888S Accessories

Works great with the Quansheng UV-5R Plus (UV-K5) with chirp, needed to install driver first but it can easily be found on the internetThe build quality is pretty solidWould recommend

Bought this so I can program my cheap and cheerful Baofeng BF888S walkie talkies. It worked a treat and they now use CTCSS on each channel. Used in conjunction with the free “Chirp” program.

I've had so much trouble with programming cables over the years, especially if i was trying to use one with the Prolific chipset.You waste hours reinstalling drivers, absolutely infuriating....but with these cables, you plug it into your computer, Windows recognises it straight away, sets it up itself with zero input from the user and voila...it works...It worked with Chirp straight away, works with all the Chinese sets CPS i've tried, Baofeng, Quansheng etcCouldn't be happier...great price too, I might buy a second just to have a spare on hand.

Item arrived quickly and the cable and connectors are good quality. It was supplied with Baofeng software disc but the disc itself is the mini type so I went to download it from their website.The Baofeng software doesn’t seem to be available for Mac OS but CHIRP software works and easily read the walkie talkies for reprogramming.

The cable I had been using for years failed following a driver update, displaying the error message: "THIS IS NOT A PROLIFIC2303. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER." This issue arose because the market is inundated with counterfeit hardware. A driver update was released to prevent these clones from functioning. After purchasing another cable that also failed, I was hesitant to try again. However, I can confirm that this cable works correctly with the updated drivers on Windows 11, specifically with the Baofeng UV-5R and the UV-17. I hope this information is useful to those in a similar predicament.

It works it's cheap

Software contents on cd is all in Chinese, can’t see anything related to UV5R radio.Cannot verify the lead as can’t see which programme to use.
