Although they look similar, a standard Baofeng cable and DM5R cable are Not the same. 
The DM5R cable is straight through with no internal chip.

I'm sure the cable probably has no problem but you just can't program it with Chirp.

As far as I know, and please someone back me up on this.
VOLUME level on ANY radio does nothing during data transfers.


     When I first heard that several years ago, I decided it was pure nonsense.  I pay no attention to where the volume control is set when transferring to and from my radios, but it's a pretty safe bet that it's NOT at full volume.
