Hi Milt,
I don’t own a UV-3, but apparently it does not use the same K1-style cable for programming as most Baofengs, rather, it uses a single 1/8” TRRS plug. More details here: http://www.uv3r.com
You might find that Mark (KJ6ZWL) at BlueMax49ers.com has a compatible FTDI cable off the shelf.
Cheers,

This past September 18th was my 76th birthday, and my 50th anniversary as a licensed ham. All I'm asking is that you be gentle with your replies, please? "RTFB" just doesn't get it. With that said, I have an older Baofeng UV-3R HT. It's the very small HT. #1) What software does it use? #2) What cable? A "standard" generic speaker/mic to USB cable, or...? I'd like to thank you Gentlemen/Ladies in advance for your courtesy. Experienced replies please. Milt.
