I’m sure you all know that the Baofeng UV-5RH Pro software does work with the K67 Pro?
TBH that s/w is so complex that I returned the K67 to the seller; I’m waiting for CHIRP or a more user-friendly CPS before I try again.
If the radio is similar to the 5RH Pro, you might not want it even if you could program it with CHIRP. My 1-sentence review of the 5RH Pro was "Straight into the parts bin".

Cant get uv-5rm to connect to chirp.... tried all the different uv5r options.. any suggeations
Baofeng is known for "the model of the week" which is often an older radio re-packaged in a new case, and using one of the other model def- initions in CHIRP will work.
OTOH, the 5RH and 5RM model designations have been re-used many times for completely different models. If your 5RM has a full-color screen, it is one of the newer ones. Try the UV-17 or UV-17 Pro and see if either of those will talk to it.
The problem is that many Baofeng models use the same "wake up" com- mand and display the "Program" icon on their screens but time out be- cause the "code word" doesn't match what the radio expects. So the radio times out, the user thinks there is a cable / driver / CHIRP issue when in fact it's the wrong code word.
