USB Baofeng Programming Cable CH340 Chip Compatible With Baofeng UV-5R BF-F8HP Pro 5RM GM-15PRO UV-32 GMRS UV-5G Plus GM21 K5PLUS AR-152 UV-21R Quansheng UV-K5 8 Ham Radio Accessories

Had to update the driver as per youtube but after that it worked fine. The included disk may have the correct driver but I don't have a drive in my laptop.

Programming a Baofeng radio should be simple and for years the cheap knockoff cables with unrecognized chipsets made it anything but. This cable with the CH340 chipset is the fix — proper driver support across Windows, Linux, and macOS means CHIRP and other programming software recognize it immediately instead of throwing driver errors that send you down a Windows Device Manager rabbit hole on a Saturday afternoon. Connection to the radio is solid — the plug seats firmly into the Baofeng's speaker mic port without any wobble that causes intermittent connection drops mid-programming, which is exactly the kind of failure that corrupts a codeplug at the worst possible moment. Data transfer during programming has been clean and consistent without dropped connections or failed writes. Driver installation was straightforward once pointed at the correct CH340 driver package — a one time setup and after that the cable is recognized automatically every time it's plugged in. No repeating the installation dance with every session like some of the unbranded chipset cables demand. Build quality on the cable itself feels durable — decent cord length for comfortable desk use, connector housing that isn't going to crack from normal handling. Nothing fancy, just a cable that does its one job reliably. For anyone programming Baofeng radios or similar CHIRP compatible handhelds, chipset matters more than price and this CH340 cable gets it right. Skip the mystery chipset cables and save yourself the driver troubleshooting session. Highly recommended.

Works well with my quansheng and baofeng radios

Funciona muy bien

This cable solved my Windows 11 problems! Connected first time, without having to download a driver (Driver was included on a mini-CD, but not needed). I was able to read/write CHIRP data to my Baofeng UV5R radios, and I plan to use it to program my new UV-5R Mini radios soon. It was an exceptional value, and delivered FAST and with CARE to my front door in one day!
