Funny, I can program my UV-5R all day long. If what you say was true, why would they sell a programming cable?
I'm guessing you're referring to the firmware, not the channels and settings. I am *NOT* trying to change firmware.

Years ago, I bought a 5 dollar cable to program my Baofeng. It didn't work. I was informed many cloned FTDI cables don't work. I bought the Baofeng cable, about $20 at the time. Always works.

I tried under Windows 10, which reports the cable as being COM5. I could not connect to the radio. Now I've tried on another laptop running Ubuntu 22.04LTS. Still no dice. The "Help me" under port says "Your cable appears to be on port: FT231X USB UART - FT231X USB UART (/dev/ttyUSB0)"
Maybe the cable is bad?

Rich, How are COM Ports tested in Linux? I know in Windows, Device Manager can be used.
Thanks, David

Check comm ports. Usually 3 or 4. Should show the chip in your cable.
