It's possible the cable will work. I have no idea about Chirp. If the radio is listed in Chirp then yes. I do not have the latest build because I don't need it. You might just download the latest build and see if your radio is listed. Or you could choose DETECT and see if it detects it as another Kenwood radio. I don't advise that though. Might have to go to to the Chirp site and find a list of currently supported radios.  I have been there in ages so I couldn't tell you where it was.

The real "rip off" (and I guilty of it too) is the Baofeng / Wouxon Chinese programming cable, which rips off the real chip set for the cable in favor of Chinese a counterfeits chipset. My Baofeng is my new favorite for sure. At $30 for the radio and about $10-$12 for virtually any accessory, I have my radio, programming cable, second battery, battery eliminator, and whip antenna, all for about the same amount as I paid for my Wouxon, which I thought was an inexpensive radio (which it was) and about 1/5th of what I paid for my VX7-R. I just checked the VX-7R on Amazon, it is up over $400 on Amazon, so the Baofeng radio alone is less than 1/10th of a Yaesu radio alone. How they can manufacture it, ship it here, and retail it is min-boggling. Other than slave labor, I just don't see how they can do it.

While I am typing, CHIRP is awesome, thanks guys! Keep up the good work!
