I guess I'll ask her if she'll do that for me. The 730 can be set up to RX only any conventional freq. Within its range. As well as the TK350 should be able also, but I never dealt with them. I am confused though, the 730 is VHF and the 350 is UHF. Are you looking to monitor frequencies on both spectrums? Also, are your frequencies wideband or narrowband?- you'll need a 730G if they're narrowband.

I used the cable successfully on my desktop PC via the powered hub built into my monitor as well as a HP laptop running Windows 7. When I tried to use my little Asus mini laptop I ran into a multitude of errors when trying to read. I had odd errors with it failing half way through a read at random blocks as well as 'unknown' errors and several other odd ones when trying to read with Chirp. I was able to remedy this by using a powered USB hub.

Even when installed to run in xp compatability mode, still reads and writes fine but just wont save, anybody else had this? Insanity I just grabbed one of these little radios off of Amazon and purchased the cable as well. It was distributed by Amazon but from vendor 'Generic'. Windows 10 automagically had the driver and the device shows up as 'USB-SERIAL CH340'.

Baofeng handheld two way radios are well known among amateur radio operators everywhere. Models such as the,, and the legendary are a common staple in the modern ham shack, and with good reason. These radios are compact, easy to use, versatile and, best of all, extremely inexpensive. They are some of on the market. These attributes have made Baofeng a household name in the ham community. However, programming a Baofeng radio from a computer isn't all that intuitive and can become messy even for the most experienced ham who is not used to Chinese-made radios. The USB cable driver offered by Baofeng is buggy and the programming software made by the manufacturer is, for all intents and purposes, junk.

It's not the Laptop. Any suggestions? For a 28 dollar radio, I spent 20 for a non counterfeit cable FTDI Driver. I now must send thd other back, more costs.

I follow the link online, install it, but nothing happens after installation besides being able to uninstall. When it does download and install via wizard, it says 'Vista driver installer', making me think i have to do another step and am just being stupid. My second and main problem is every time I go tot the radio tab on CHIRP and try to download my radio, nothing happens. My usb-serial cable is plugged in, radio on, and nothing. I'm at a loss for what to do. Any suggestions or help would be so appreciated.
