For you and anyone else, make sure you order a programming cable. The baofeng one works for the UV-K5. And when you go to use it, be aware that you’re going to have to press it into the radio far harder than you think. It will make a loud click the first time, and save you hours of troubleshooting!
- geerlingguy 3y agoHeh, good to know! I guess they're using ports that are just a bit too tight from the factory.
- crote 3y agoBit of a shame it requires a proprietary programming cable via the audio ports. The UV-K5 already has a USB-C port for charging, would've been neat if they just added an internal USB-to-serial chip.
