I just ordered a PT8200 from ebay ($86 top bid including delivery) and am awaiting delivery. I also ordered a programming cable from the 409SHOP (from the photo it looks like a copy that will require the old Prolific driver).
409SHOP LIMITED (HK) 2-way Radio accessory Wholesale
I also downloaded the programming software from Kirisun which is kap8200_v.2.23. This software appears to be for the 128 channel radio and even shows the radio specification as PT8200F. From all the previous discussions, I am concerned that the v2.23 software will not work. However, it seems that folks are having success with the v1.22 software which isn't available from the Kirisun web site.
Thus, I too would appreciate it if someone could let me know of a source for the v1.22 programming software. If all else fails as far as the software, has anyone had success manually progamming 70cm frequencies (with offsets) into the PT8200?
People that get the PT8200 up and running seem to really like it, so I hope my bargain doesn't end up as another boat anchor. Thanks!
