Worked well with my windows computer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well *by A***N on May 10, 2026* Works well for the money ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cable is good, included CD is to be avoided *by D***Y on October 20, 2014* I had very little trouble getting this cable to work. Had I heeded the advice to toss the included CD and download everything from miklor dot com (or the CHIRP site) I would have had less trouble. NOTE: For those of you who are familiar with serial communications (and perhaps some that are not) it may help to know that the cable is just a USB to Serial adapter. The driver install is all about the cable, NOT the radio. You do not need to use the radio while you are getting the cable installed and working. The CHIRP software will handle the communications to the radio once the cable is working. If you install the cable driver and the cable is plugged in, look in Device Manager. If you do NOT have a yellow triangle (or any other warning) on the Prolific USB to Serial port in Device Manager, you SHOULD be good to go. Here's the short version for the ADD folks ;-) Toss the included CD, download the Prolific driver from Miklor dot com, install the driver and plug in the cable. Make a note of what COM port is assigned to the cable. Download the latest daily build of CHIRP. Enjoy! Here's the details of what I did. This may help some of you who tried the included CD first like I did. (just in case you don't know... you can open up Device Manager by right clicking on Computer and then opening Device Manager) 1. I tried installing the Vista driver from the included CD which included plugging the cable into the laptop and radio. It failed (yellow triangle in Device Manager). 2. I installed the latest daily build of CHIRP (this didn't help my cable problem, but it didn't hurt anything either). If I was doing this all over again I would probably wait until the cable was working before I installed CHIRP. I really don't think it matters much when you install CHIRP. 3. I removed the driver from Device Manager, I checked the Uninstall Driver box. (I would recommend you skip steps 1 & 3) 4. I un-plugged the cable from the radio and the laptop. 5. I downloaded the Prolific 3.2.0.0 driver from Miklor. 6. I installed the Prolific 3.2.0.0 driver. 7. I plugged the cable into the laptop, Windows recognized it and installed the device (cable) successfully. (BTW: it assigned COM5 to the cable, you will need to know this later) 8. I opened up CHIRP. 9. With the radio turned off I plugged the cable into the radio. 10. I turned on the radio. 11. I downloaded the data from the radio (Radio --> Download from radio). I got a dialog box asking for settings. I set the COM Port to match the cable (COM5). I set the Vendor to Baofeng and the Model to UV5R and clicked OK. 12. I got the Cloning Progress box with progress bar. When that was done I got the CHIRP spreadsheet view. I was able to edit the config and Save it as a file. (I saved a backup of the default config before I made any changes). 13. I uploaded the data back to the radio (Radio --> Upload to radio). 14. I got the Cloning Progress box again. When that was done I unplugged the radio. That's it! BTW: I tried the Import from Repeater Book and I was impressed at how well it worked. I recommend trying that. ## Frequently Bought Together - Baofeng Programming Cable for BAOFENG UV-5R/5RA/5R Plus/5RE, UV3R Plus, BF-888S, 5R EX, 5RX3, GA-2S - Baofeng UV-5R Two Way Radio Dual Band 144-148/420-450Mhz Walkie Talkie 1800mAh Li-ion Battery(Black) - ABBREE SMA-Female Ham Radio Antenna VHF/UHF 18.8-inch 144/430MHz High Gain Foldable CS Tactical Antenna for Baofeng UV-5R BF-F8HP Pro 5RM K5PLUS GM21 AR-152 Quansheng K6 UVK5(8) Radio (1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/1144027-baofeng-programming-cable-for-baofeng-uv-5r-5ra-5r-plus](https://www.desertcart.id/products/1144027-baofeng-programming-cable-for-baofeng-uv-5r-5ra-5r-plus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
