Good device for a little money. BUT: In my case, the unit came in from the USB / COM port does not install, so no access to Scheib-, and read-only memory. I'm not a layman and am familiar with driver issues and PC's. With current, loaded from the network drivers for both the USB Prolific chip in adapter cable, as well as the latest programming tool BF5R the installation was attempted on multiple PC with XP or Win7. With the previously procured tool "Find COM port", which is not present at all the way on the accompanying CD, the recognized port was to set the programming tool to be able to read from the device. The error was always the same: It then appeared briefly the loading bar, then there was a crash with an error message. Another effect was that UV 5R to send turned once it has been connected to the programming cable to the respective PC. Moreover, it was on the side of the USB adapter immediately very hot. Another variation was that the loading bar does not even appeared, but the assigned COM port on connection was equal to an error message. The whole problem did not exist in a some time ago bought UV 3R. On the software side, where everything went immediately and reliably. The program function via USB and software is essential in order to enter the complete programming of the relay frequencies incl. Tray comfortably. The keyboard is simply too small. Too bad that this function is not possible, or else I would like to reserve the unit. Incidentally, the second device is a low-quality black and white manual was, the first high-quality designed in color.
