### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great for programming my Baofeng DM-32UV radio with Windows 11.
*by V***C on June 21, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST PROGRAMMING CABLE I HAVE!
*by U***G on March 12, 2026*

This cable has replaced three of my Baofeng cables. It works with the newest radios, it replaces the CH304 needed for the DM32 and some of the early UV-5r radios. Replaces the early FTDI that doesn't always work. It works with all my Baofeng radios, regardless of age, that take the RCA plug. It lets you know when it it moving information by a blinking green light, and is flexible even though it has a thicker wire. Well made. My guess is that it will also work with my Wouxun radios with the same RCA jack. One of my Baofeng cables will work on the Wouxun radios. It is nice to have one that so far has done it all. Thank you.
