The two plugs are different sizes. The data cable only fits in one.
And my Help menu has no such options. All I see is About, Developer Mode,
Reporting Enabled (which is checked), and "Load module from issue"
I turned on Developer Mode, but still don't see options for debug logs.

I hear nothing. No sign that anything is being received.

Check comm ports. Usually 3 or 4. Should show the chip in your cable.--Sent from my Android phone with mail.com Mail. Please excuse my brevity.On 7/16/23, 9:27 AM John Oliver wrote:

Rich,
How are COM Ports tested in Linux? I know in Windows, Device Manager can
be used.
Thanks,
David

It's a USB cable, and shows up as /dev/ttyUSB0 There's even a green light
on the cable that turns on!
This is an FTDI cable. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04LTS

Hi David and All,
I read in a message recently, from Dan I believe, that Chirp now shows the port
it's using.
I think it is in download from radio, under help.
That is what I remember, I haven't needed to look for it yet, but I do remember
him posting that.

They are not. The speaker/mic port is a 3.5MM TRRS socket with a black
ring. The DATA port (closest to the fan) is a 3.5MM TRS socket with a
silver ring. It is clearly marked "DATA" above it.
> And my Help menu has no such opt
They are :-) The Y cable that came with the radio has RJ45 for the mic,
and two different size jacks. It looks exactly like the two different size
jacks on the cable for my other Baofeng, and that cable snaps in. I
literally cannot plug the data jack into the smaller jack... it is too big.
And
I tried under Windows 10, which reports the cable as being COM5. I could
not connect to the radio. Now I've tried on another laptop running
Ubuntu 22.04LTS. Still no dice. The "Help me" under port says "Your cable
appears to be on port: FT231X USB UART - FT231X USB UART (/dev/ttyUSB0)"

Boafeng can’t be reprogrammed once you program them it is set

Funny, I can program my UV-5R all day long. If what you say was true, why
would they sell a programming cable?
I'm guessing you're referring to the firmware, not the channels and
settings. I am *NOT* trying to change firmware.

If you had another radio the cable would connect to, you could try the cable
there, to see if the problem is the cable or the radio.
I have found that many of my cables work on different radios, if the tip fits
into the radio.

The PC03 programming cable is only for handheld radios that use the
Kenwood style 2-pin connection for programming. The Baofeng Tech
mobile radios use a different programming cable.
Make sure you're connecting to the right COM port. That has bitten me more
than once.

PC04 FTDI USB Programming Cable for BTECH UV-25X2-Gen2 He's just plugging
it into the wrong jack in the back.
The back has two jacks one says 'DATA" that's the one he needs to use.
See this:

This. I was plugging into the Y cable because it looked just like my
UV-5[RG]s. I just need to lick the power cable while plugging it in...

So have you plugged the BTECH PC04 FTDI USB Programming Cable
into the data jack on the back of the BTECH UV-25X2-Gen2 transceiver where
it says "DATA"? - it's marked with #2 in this illustration.

and did it work?
