I don't have problem with fake or genuine cable, when they work at least. I've had good luck with those with the D sticker, in top left of battery compartment, almost every other sticker I have sent back. But I haven't ordered any for 6-8 months. Good sticker may have changed by now As I mentioned previously, if your current system/setup works fine with a uv5 or other baofeng, test out of box, if no connect send back for refund, re-order.

going to expire. Using the same computer, same "fake prolific" Baofeng cloning cable and the updated daily CHIRP software i was able to reprogram the UV5R, but when i went to read the BF888S i received the error message "radio refused to enter programming mode". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I have had the same issue using Fedora. If I repeat trying to read/write the BF888S about 90% of the attempts fail, but every once in a while it works.
