Our standard cable uses the SiLabs CP2102 USB to serial chipset.

If you prefer the FTDI FT232RL chipset, select the premium version.

Both work with Windows up to version 10.

For more detailed information please read our USB chipset information page.Programming software not included. Please check the availability of suitable software for your model of radio and that the software supports USB COM ports.

It's rather dated, and the web page says it's for USA models only, but we tested it with a TM-V7 UK model under Windows 7 with our cable. The software only works with serial ports COM1 or COM2, so the COM port of the USB cable may need re-allocating to one of these. There are various articles on how to this is on the web.

For TM-V7 remote control, we also tested RCV7 by KE4U:
