You need to use chirp to communicate with the radio. You have to have Chirp installed. Go to chirp.danplanet.com and download the latest version. When you plug the cable into the computer it will choose a I/O port. You need to go to your control panel and find out what port it connected to. Chirp will need to be given the port to communicate with the radio. Then you have to use Chirp to download the current configuration, modify the configuration and upload it to the radio. There are several youtube clips which give step by step instructions. **Q: I saw where this cable can be used to program the juentai jt-6188 plus. can anyone verify that this true? thanks.** A: I have not heard this but I doubt it. ## Frequently Bought Together - BTECH PC04 FTDI USB Programming Cable – Compatible UV-25X2, UV-25X4, UV-50X2, GMRS-50V2, GMRS-20V2 Mobile Radios and More – Genuine FTDI Chipset – Plug and Play - BTECH GMRS-50V2 50W 256 Fully Customizable Channels Mobile GMRS Two-Way Radio.
