Baofeng UV-5R Cable

This should be everything you'd need for a Baofeng UV-5R cable...

  • Get either the 3.5mm cable or the bare connector if you feel like soldering it yourself
  • The pinout for the part can be found [here]{http://www.miklor.com/COM/images/dualplug.jpg}, and [this]{http://www.hamradio.in/circuits/images/baofeng/programmer.jpg} has a better pinout, but you can ignore the level shifting stuff (the FTDI is doing that already for us)
  • As always, I'd test it on a breadboard first... Especially the TX and RX pins (that always seems to confuse me; is the TX line from the device, or to the device?)
  • I have yet to find out if the radio is using TTL or CMOS voltage levels... I'd try it with the 3.3v first and then go to 5v if it doesn't work (although, 3.3v should work even with TTL since 3.3v is just barely above what should be a logic high for 5v)
