I installed Chirp via Flatpack (do not install it via `apt`, that version is too old!) and was programming the radio within minutes. I'm disappointed this cable didn't come with the Baofeng unit itself since you need this to program it.

I installed Chirp via Flatpack (do not install it via `apt`, that version is too old!) and was programming the radio within minutes. I'm disappointed this cable didn't come with the Baofeng unit itself since you need this to program it.
This one allowed me to program all 6 of my radios within minutes.
Here's what worked for me:
Visit the miklor dot com webpage and search for "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port Version: 3.2.0.0"
Download 3.2.0.0.zip from the link on the page and install it.
Plug the cable in. Open Device Manager and find the current driver (COM ports, it will probably show a message about not supporting Windows 11)
Select the Driver tab and then select Update Driver ... Browse my computer...Let me pick from a list of available drivers
Select version 3.2.0.0 dated 2007
That should do it, CHIRP worked fine for me after that. Good luck!
This cable is a clone...which means it is most certainly NOT a Baofeng product. The label on it is a lie. This was uncovered because the device drivers Windows has won't work. That's because Windows wants to talk to a genuine chipset and this clone isn't a genuine chipset and won't work using the drivers that are supposed to go with it. Perhaps you can get it to work...some others here apparently have...but this leads us to another BIG warning sign in my opinion.
In the listing it says that if you want to install it you have to email them for the drivers and the program. Well, if they know you are going to need the drivers (because it's a clone and NOT the real thing) then why not just include a piece of paper with the link to the file in the shipment? Would it be that hard? But no, you have to waste your time emailing them to ASK for the link to the file. So, by the time you figure out this cheap knock-off won't work, even with the doctored drivers that come in an .exe file that you don't know what the crap its actually doing in the background, you've wasted 3-4 days with them telling you to follow the directions that don't make sense and in the end won't work on a normal system. I happen to work in IT and if I can't get it to work on a standard Win 10 system then something is WRONG.
Yes, I just spent the last 15 minutes writing a poor review because I'm that frustrated with these people. If you KNOW I'm going to need the link...why make me ask for it?!?!? I'm sending mine back and I'm going to buy a genuine one that has the FTDI chip in it. You should too.
Arrggghhhh!
