Leixen Programming Cable for VV-808 and VV-898

A couple of notes...

1. The programming cable is the same for the VV-808/VV-808S and VV-898.

2. Leixen is selling the cable via AliExpress for $9.20. (There is a sentence on the listing that makes it seem like they would only sell the cable with a radio. That is incorrect. You may order the cable by itself.)

  1. I don't understand. Is this a cable for the leixon or for kenwood-baofeng? 9 bucks for a uart cable for a kenwood connector is too much.
    I bought a frequency counter from this company and it is the 25 bucks down the drain. Actually more since it ate batteries even when it was switched off. Took me 2 sets of batteries before I figured it out. Right now, it is taking up space in my junk box. Since it is orange, it might make a good target.

  2. any software to program the radio? The software on the leixen site asks for an ID when you run it, then closes.
