Highlights
Quality
Works great, programmed my uv-5r with no issues
The cable is well-built and durable, ensuring a reliable connection between your radio and computer.
Didn’t work right off as i was expecting to see something pop up for a driver, or recognize the radio on the computer.
I had one of these that took another type of driver and i could not get it to work after changing computers.
Price
I am very pleased with the cable, and for a programming cable it was very affordable.
Works as intended, great price, quick shipping!
I'm not paying that much for a mass-produced cable that costs a few cents to make.
Shipping
Quick delivery, worked out very well in programming my portable radio.
So even before it got here i was trying to decide if i should cancel the order and reorder the more expensive cable or just wait.
The price wasn't bad; it came quickly, and, most of all, it works!
I decided to wait despite needing the cable for a trip this weekend.
Competitiveness
In summary, the baofeng programming cable for the baofeng uv-5r is a valuable tool for radio enthusiasts and professionals alike.
