To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I've downloaded the latest version of Chirp, the Baofeng UV-K6 is not listed. I tried Quansheng UV-K6 and no go. I tried every radio listed under Baofeng and nothing. It did work fine with my Tidradio TD-H3 so I know the cable is good.
If you can get Chirp to work, it is popular.
Your radio is Baofeng, different fimware than Quansheng. Try Baofeng software.
I never could get Chirp to work with either radio.
Maybe select UV-5R from the list and see if it connects.

Hello, I have made success in the programming of my UV-K6!
Out of curiosity, I messaged the seller on AliExpress asking for the CPS if they had it available. The reached out with a rar file (which I reluctantly ran) but it has worked flawlessly. If you would like, I can upload it to my dropbox and share a link.
Good luck.

Baofeng UV-K6 CPS
Please find the link to the install rar file above. It will take you to a DropBox. The file install wizard is all in Chinese but the final software is in English. Use Port 6 for connecting to your radio via USB. Good luck and if you have questions, reach out and I'll answer the best I can.

The PORT number will vary depending on one's computer and what is in use.
The manufacturers software is now available from their support website. Don’t be to surprised by its featureless design. Copy/paste functions not available. Software will also not allow programming of air band frequencies. Air band frequency programming can be accomplished though the keypad but is anything but effortless. When programming from keypad you cannot overwrite an existing channel, you must delete it’s contents first before the radio will allow you to write to that channel. Hope my comments help someone make a better decision.
Hi - I have a newly purchased Baofeng K67 PRO despite my best efforts with all the available CPS (using a cable that works well with other radios) I have not managed a connection; after a short wait I get a "failed"message.
Any thoughts as to why?
Many thanks ...

What software are you using and what type of cable?
The CPS I use is the Baofeng UV-5RH Pro and an FTDI programming cable. I have verified this works for both the K61 Pro and the K67 Pro. I have both models and they work fine with this CPS with one exception. Any and all "Airband" programming will have to be done by hand using the keypad. There is no CPS currently available for these radios that allows programming of airband frequencies. 73 de K7HAD.

XLT Painless Programming Cable for Baofeng, Kenwood, and Wouxun
Take the pain out of programming your Baofeng (Pofung), Kenwood or Wouxun radio with the XLT RPC-K1-UF Painless Programming Cable with genuine FTDI chip!
Purchased programming cable for the K6 off the Baofeng site and downloaded the software from same.
Constant 'failed' when trying to read radio. Any further suggestions? Radio seems to program just fine
manually. Purchased for the tri-band capability. Thanks much... C

What are the chances that you can take a picture of the Data sticker under the battery and post it here. That way we can eliminate any model confusion. I have the K5, K6, K61 Pro and K67 Pro and all have worked flawlessly with the right cable and CPS. And chirp does have both the K5 and K6 in their lineup under Baofeng. No one has come up with or produced ANY CPS application that allows programming of all the features on the K61 Pro or K67 Pro. It takes alot of manual programming to get these two models to work correctly. Anyway, I look forward to seeing the model on the data sticker. And will advise once posted.
