The cable did not work for me ether. I went and bought a better quality cable that worked. This cable is of poor quality overall, very dissatisfied. If you can return it and get your money back, DO IT !

Unfortunately is a Chinese product so it'll be tough to find any website. Sorry!

I actually searched for "HL-340" Drivers which is the item's official "technical" name, and seemed to come across some odd Chinese and non-Chinese drivers, but they both worked for me! I canz putty all day long now ;) haha (idk if that helps any but it worked for me!)

The one I got didn't work at all and I threw it in the trash. I bought one from another local store.

I am not sure what equipment that is, however I do know serial....this is hands down compatible with darn near everything I have come across....where the other USB-Serial adaptors fail...this one does not...this is a fantastic product!

Did you install the software? Any error messages? Does it chime when you plug it in to you computer? Did you plug in the controller and carver? Use the same usb ports everytime. Try restarting your computer too. If windows what version do you have?

I had great success with the HDE 2 port USB Express Card. One of the USB ports on my Toshiba came loose and they could not repair the board so this attachment made it easy to add an extra USB. I have used it a lot and I have had no problems. I did download a newer driver from the Internet after I read that the driver provided on a minicd with the card might not work well. It was easy to find the newer driver on the net. I think that it would work with any laptop that has an Express Slot. It is good as a substitute for a broken usb port but it is not worth the effort if you think it is going to "speed up" your usb performance. I had great success with the HDE 2 port USB Express Card.

I have not found a driver, but I figured out how to write and read from the other tools and AP they provide. Using teh USB port in a shell script works for me, but my code is a ways away from being complete, I was able to get it to make a request and read the request but to this point I have not done anything else on it, just been too busy.

There is a USB adapter shown in the frequently bought together section under this radio. I bought one, and it works fine. Baofeng USB Programming Cable for Baofeng Two way Radio UV-5R, BF-888S,BF-F8+ With Driver CD

I haven't done it myself, but it should work fine. I have one of these. Once installed, the device appears to Windows 7 as a serial port device. If you install two of them, they will appear as two separate serial ports. You just need to make sure to wire them up appropriately.

It's the data cable. You received a knock-off. Find the older drivers for the cable. PL2303_Prolific_Vista_332102. They work with that knock-off cable. Or buy a FTDI cable from Baofeng. No driver searching. Win8.1 supported.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thank you for posting your question! This USB to serial adapter works well on Mac OS X versions 10.6 and later. However, the software you use to communicate with the connected devices must also support the OS X version you are using. The necessary OS X driver for the USB to serial adapter is available from our website at: http://plugable.com/products/pl2303-db9/drivers. Please feel free to contact us about any additional questions at http://support.plugable.com.DavidPlugable Support

no you need to use a VGA cable not USB or serial. I got this cable to use with APC backup which uses a serial port and all my latest PCs that I have built have NO serial port. I think the last time I had a pc with a serial port was 1997

You can go cheap and get a standard Kenwood style programming cable (USB to Serial Kenwood connector)for about $8 here on Amazone, but you risk getting a pirated Prolific chip for the USB to serial part. If that happens you can use an older driver, but if your Windows is set to auto update you risk the new driver downloading and being unable to use your cable.I recommend getting a cable based on the FTDI chipset rather than the Prolific.

Gosh - it's been so long I don't remember having drivers for the device itself. Just printer drivers. There was software to find & configure the device and create the "fake" USB ports, although I remember it having a web UI as well if the UNC shares was good enough. The "fake" USB ports connection had a limitation where it didn't handle large files very well. This thing was tied to Windows XP and just didn't work well that I tossed it in the trash years ago when I stopped using XP. To sum up - you are looking for the Software that creates the local ports on your PC, then you use the Printer drivers for the printer. But you can also access the device via File Shares (UNC) which doesn't require the software. Gosh - it's been so long I don't remember having drivers for the device itself. Just printer drivers.

I have two UV-5rax+ radios and it works well with them. I have not tested it on a UV-5ra, but it should since they are from the same family. Do realize that this cable and several others use an older USB to Serial converter chip that Win 7 will not work with if you let Win 7 update the driver. Disconnect from the Internet and then use the CD to install the driver. The cable will work fine. Just remember to disconnect from the Internet before you plug the cable into the computer and it works well. My radios did not require me to trim the plug.

I haven't used it yet, bit what version are you wondering about? It should be a generic USB to serial programmer to flash PIC microcontrollers. It is a pretty simple protocol to implement.James

I would suggest getting an inexpensive USB to PCMCIA adaptor. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_10?field-keywords=usb+pcmcia+adapter

Here in this article and comments you will find more information about interface cables, which ones work with what radios and or not work with some. My impression is that the USB CI-V is not suitable for the Icom 751. Good luck http://www.eham.net/articles/1588 Vaden McDonald NN4K

I don't know. It didn't work in either of my applications (an RTL-SDR TV/radio receiver, and a USB-to-RS232-serial adapter). The problem appeared to be too many lost frames over the USB interface, the drivers would get confused and "give up".
