The one I got didn't work at all and I threw it in the trash. I bought one from another local store.

I just use the software that came with apparatus. Applied the driver updates (software), then plug the apparatus in my USB port on my computer, and it's set. I used it on my Windows 8, however, I may need to reinstall the driver as it has some issues with my printer. I'm just surprised that it would work on my W8 system since my computer doesn't have a fax modem - mines a small compact computer.Hope that helps.

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.

It's just a cable, no drivers needed. If you need a driver, your computer should be able to find them

I haven't used it yet, bit what version are you wondering about? It should be a generic USB to serial programmer to flash PIC microcontrollers. It is a pretty simple protocol to implement.James

Here is a review that I only copied. READ THIS if you want to use these on Windows 7 Ult 64bit, January 26, 2013 By roscolo This review is from: 2 X Mini Usb Bluetooth V2.0 Edr Dongle Wireless Adapter (Electronics) OK. First the bad news, then read on for the good news: First, this absolutely will not work with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with the generic plug-n-play Windows Driver that automatically installs. Anyone who has it working, it is because your computer manufacturer or motherboard manufacturer has different drivers. OK. That's the bad news. Now the good news. You can make these work easily with a utility that is FAR, FAR BETTER than any built in Windows junk. What you NEED for this to work exceptionally well on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit is to do a Google search for: [ "toshiba bluetooth stack" premium edition ] Before you ask, NO, this does not mean your computer has to be made by Toshiba or have anything to do with Toshiba for this to work on your system. If you type in the search terms exactly as I just showed you, with the quotes, what you need will be one of the top results. If you have 64bit system, make sure you unzip and install 64bit. If you have 32bit system (x86) make sure you unzip and install 32bit version. Follow instructions, and these el cheapo bluetooth dongles will now work very well on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Will they last? Remains to be seen. Enjoy.

I tried installing the toshiba BT stack drivers. They seemed to work better for me. I was able to connect all if my BT devices with no problems. Google Toshiba BT stack.

You might need to download a driver here:http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx

I have an old toshiba dual core, with windows 10 (tech preview), and I put it to work there. Its faster than the other usb 2.0 already there. I use it for backup on usb 3 samsung drive. The trick was to download the appropiate driver because the one that came with it did not work.

I am unclear as to what you are trying to do. read data from rca and view it on a flash drive or get data from rca and read it on a computer via usb because either way, no no it won't.

It should be a simple as plugging it into a working usb port and allowing the driver software to install. After that it should work as a reader that automatically translates the magnetic info into numbers. This works automatically with excel and a few other programs but depending on what you are using it may have to be configured manually. What are you using it for? What is the software you are using it with? What operating system are you running?

I'm not certain which cable you're referring to but, I haven't ordered a cable yet that didn't come with a disc. And if is doesn't you can generally find the drivers on the Internet. Check with some of the amateur radio sites such as QRZ.com or ARRL. It's been my experience that the minute the cable is plugged in, the operating system recognizes the cable and, occasionally, will install drivers from the Microsoft site. Really never had a problem getting one programmed.

I heard that is what it used. Looking again I can NOT confirm.The information my system indicates is:USB 2.0 To COM Device: Product ID: 0x2303 Vendor ID: 0x067b (Prolific Technology, Inc.) Version: 3.00 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.I thought I found the source code for writing a driver for the device and that would have the chipset information but I don't have it handy to confirm that either.I still haven't gotten the driver to work for me, so I'm no help at all.good luckMike L.

I have that cable and it works well with the Baofeng software but the right driver was a problem, a friend of mine that is tuned into to this set it up for me, as I can tell that is going to be the biggest problem.

I was not successful getting it to work so far. I've tried the supplied driver, used the Windows 7 plug and play driver, neither recognizes it. It was under $10, so I'm not going to try to mail it back to China, now sits in the bottom of a drawer and I'm just using my USB 2 ports instead of trying to add a USB 3 and/or eSATA ports. When I have a hour to kill, I may try installing it again, but faster to just use USB 2. You get what you pay for...
