To make a long story shorter, about the cheap cable:ġ- Whether the one I have is actually a knockoff or not I don't know.Ģ- With Windows 10 an older driver which is apparently outdated but still available, has to be installed and enabled using task manager, which is something relatively easy for computer geeks, I suppose, but for regular people as deep as you have to go into task manager to accomplish that is time consuming and can be downright maddening, particularly after you have already done that once and, like me, made the incorrect assumption that it would not have to be done again. I have a Baofeng UV-5RA that has the exact same programming cable end where it plugs into the radio as the Kenwood THF6A.ġ- I would never trust the programming cable that I use for the Baofeng to plug into my far more valuable Kenwood THF6A.Ģ- I have heard it mentioned and have had the not so good experience with the Windows 10 O/S in combination with some or most of the so-called "cheap" programming cables, whereas, they are not particularly compatible. I have a Windows 10 O/S computer and I intend to use CHIRP (and / or the free on-line Kenwood programming download software) to program a Kenwood THF6A.
