I hope the CHIRP brain trust will forgive this most basic question from a new member:
Is a serial programming cable required for use with CHIRP?
I see that the logo is a DB9 connector and the program allows only a COM1 setting but I thought I'd ask anyway since I have only the USB cable for my Baofeng UV-5RA.
Can anyone recommend a source for a serial programming cable for the UV-5RA?
That USB cable you have has a USB-serial converter inside it. The radio actually speaks serial, so Chirp does too.
