Programming cable for UV-5R

[NWI_Scanner_Guy]

I'm thinking of getting a Baofeng UV-5R. I've heard that the programming cable for the Wouxun KG-UVD1P can also be used in the UV-5R. Is there any truth to that? I've got both the UVD1P and the cable, so if it does work in the UV-5R, it will save me a few bucks not having to an extra cable.

Thanks for any info provided.

It should work. I use the cable from my Wouxun to program my UV-5R. The cable also does some Kenwood HTs.

I use the cable from my Wouxun KG-UV6D v2 without any issues on my UV-5R.

That's just what I wanted to hear. I will be ordering my UV-5R tomorrow.

Thank you both for your replies. I appreciate the information.
