Worked for me on Windows 10, used free software available online because a virus scan of the included CD came up positive. I deposited the CD in the trash and recommend you do the same.

The cable arrived. I took it out of the box/bag. I plugged it in. I started my chirp program. I imported my preprogrammed file. I loaded the frequencies in to the radio. It took less than three minutes for all of this. The cable worked for me. I have a laptop with Win7. I used it to load a Baofeng UV-5R. The disc it came along with a piece of paper towel to sop up the condensation makes a good drink coaster. Do Not Load This Disc...just download Chirp!

Programmed my Baofeng UV-5R V2+ with no issues. Cheaper than the others that were listed.

All files and folders on included disk are in Maderin Chinese. Useless, i can't install drivers which means I can't program my radio

A must have for programing Baofeng Radios. Programing Baofeng radios without using a computer and appropriate software is virtually if not impossible. The cable was not included with either of the 2 radios i purchased. I figure I saved about forty bucks by purchasing separately compared to the "Kit" price. Please Note: I am relatively new to the world of HAM radio and just getting my feet wet so to speak.

This might as well be a bit of string with a USB plug on one end. Didn't work on three different operating systems with a host of different drivers tried. No youtube video or online guide solved the problem. And the CD included is loaded with malware.If I could give this zero stars, or a negative number, I would. I rarely have been this frustrated and disgusted with a product, and I work in I.T.! Don't bother buying this.

I got this for a Baofeng UV-82 and it worked great on the first try. The CD that comes with it has the correct drivers, but no software. Use CHIRP to program.

My radio was not detected by my computer when plugged in.

Works great!

Item just as advertised; well packaged and in the nick of time. Great job!

It just works, no messing with com port settings.

Enclosed driver CD in Chinese, ZIP files contain corrupt drivers, Windows auto-installed drivers don't work with CHIRP (always says not enough data has been read). POS, returning.

does not work with the software or disk that comes with it, better off using CHIRP software download online and then works ok

Program disk came in Chinese. Useless with no instructions

These counterfeit cables don't work. In addition there is no customer support. Total waste of money. I should have bought the name brand programing cable first.

Stopped working after using 4 times! Either it didnt come with cd or I lost it , so im pretty sure I couldnt even return it.
