Boafeng UV5R Digital Mode Cable


My friend Tom (AK4HN) has created a how to build a Baofeng UV5R Digital Mode Cable assembly guide.  A great How To on building a cable to interface your computer sound card to your Boafeng HT. I am attaching it to help those that want to set this up.  It works real well.

  1. very interesting article, I wonder how long the UV5R would survive using a constant 4/5 watts output on something like SSTV for 2 minutes or plus.

  2. Dave - connect a battery eliminator and wire to a power supply. No need for batteries if you want continues use.

  3. Great article , thanks for sharing 🙂 could we have a picture of the finished cable please , I'm struggling to see where the 3 X 3.5 mm connectors are needed .
    Also do you think a programming cable with the usb cut off would work the same but require less soldering ? .
