Any one using this programming cable with the Baofeng UV-5R V3+ radio and is it working?

Mine works great. I plugged it into the USP port and Windows 8.1 recognized it. very happy with it.

I have no personal experience with either of those models, but Baofeng hasn't changed this since the UV-2, so I would guess it would be fine. In any case, it's not a big investment...

If the antenna connection is a SMA type connector should work. Works well on my Baofeng dual band talkie.

I use the 3800mAH battery off my uv-5re. Either of my 5re batteries work on this radio. I did not see one on the baofeng tech site; I purchased mine previously elsewhere.

I am sorry, I cannot answer that for the cable. The actual software for the radio was free from chirp. But I would think the cable could work, you just may need to find the driver online. I recommend you get the correct cable with driver for your radio. Sorry if I could not help you.

I don't know how to prove it. The cable I received does work for my purpose (using Chirp to program my Baofeng HT). That's all I know.

No, the USB cable does not work. The radio display says "cable is not compatible"

I use Chirp, in my opinion, it is better than the software from Baofeng. The radio is not listed, but use the UV-5R as the radio type. since they are basically the same radio. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home

There are a lot of problems with the programming cables for the Chinese radios. The current drivers for the prolific serial/usb chip that is in the cable doesn't work with these cables. If you search on google for answers you will find more information than you want.

Unless Baofeng has changed their antennas, this antenna (at least the one I received) is longer than the stock antenna on the UV-5R radio variants. I believe this is the same antenna however used on some of the other Baofeng models but I can't verify that as I own a UV-5RA.

You can program the BaoFeng UV-3R to use offsets for repeaters. You might use CHIRP or the BaoFeng software. Either should work. The programing cable maybe purchased from Amazon.com for around $10.00.Since it is a Dual band (2m and 70cm) the offset will be different. 2m will be +-600khz and 70cm will be -5Mhz. The only real limitation is the number of memory channels. Hope this answers your question.

It should work as long as the connector is correct. All any of these radio programming cables are is a USB to RS-232 serial converter. As long as you have the correct plug it should work. Your next problem is coming up with a program. It looks like there may be no alternative but to buy the software from Kenwood which if that is the case you might as well purchase the programming package that includes their cable.

I have two UV-5rax+ radios and it works well with them. I have not tested it on a UV-5ra, but it should since they are from the same family. Do realize that this cable and several others use an older USB to Serial converter chip that Win 7 will not work with if you let Win 7 update the driver. Disconnect from the Internet and then use the CD to install the driver. The cable will work fine. Just remember to disconnect from the Internet before you plug the cable into the computer and it works well. My radios did not require me to trim the plug.

install the correct drivers. If you attempted to install more then one driver, make sure you remove all previous installed drivers. http://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/1ycs7w/mac_os_x_programming_baofeng_uv5r_with_chirp/

Yes my radio came with a programming cable. I used CHIRP software to program it.
