Universal radio programming cable
Вставка

- In this video I go through my take on a USB programming cable. I have a number of different radios Icom, Yeasu, Kenwood as well as the usual Chinese suspects. Just to be awkward I also have leads to programming microcontrollers.
Having this many devices causes two problems. Firstly you have a lot of leads to store and keep track of. Secondly plugging an unplugging a variety of usb to xyz cables and cause the windows to stop recognising the device and you get error code 31 in device manager.
The other reason major reason for the project is that I have number of cheap eBay programming leads that don’t work. Why because they have cloned PL2303 chips inside. These leads have not gone to waste. The USB part may be junk the radio end is fully serviceable.
So what I have made is a universal device. I took the idea from the Motorola RIB system. What I have is an usb to TTL lead and I have added a 9pin D plug on the end. Not all I have to do is make a 9pin D socket to whatever device I am wanting to program.
The USB to TTL cable was purchased from CPC farnell in Preston for a about £5 +VAT. The order code is SC13277. It does not come with a driver but it is a Prolific PL2302 chip inside so windows update should pick up the drivers.
Hi mate, great video. I'm wanting to make up a cable using the CP2102 board to program a Simoco SRM9025. From what i understand from your video is that the voltage supplied from the usb will operate the CP2102 board. Is it a case of turning on the radio and removing the hand piece to plug in the cable?
Cheers
Hello, do You know its possibile to program Entel radios with Eprog software?

This is the greatest video so far. But If I want to connect with USB cable which terminals goes in to what colour please? I have got 9 pin female thing. Regards.
Did you figure it out ?
Unfortunately, this variant does not work on my Motorola CP040. Would you have an idea synonymous for older models? But a good Vid!

hi by any chance would you know where to get software to program a Motorola gp360 please
Hi I am looking to reprogram my icom m330 marine radio. Do you know if this is an easy job to do? I have the software but the cable is confusing me as to what I need ? Thanks for any help.
I've got Entel marine radio and looking for programming solutions too..
@@beltonator let me know how you get on
@@gavjones1636 I've tryed Uart Cp2101, Ch340 and PL2303 without success. Now Only Hope isnin max232 but i must order one.
Hi brill vid ,would this be the same for the GD77 both my baofeng cables(chipped & plug& play cables will not work with with the radioddity. thanks Andy.
Hi Andrew, the cable cord the gd77 doe not have any electronics in the cable. The interface cable is in the radio itself.
This article explains how the cable is wired. You could in theory take one of your bafeng leads, cut the usb plug off but leave some cable on so it can be resused.
Then using a continuity meter work it what pin goes to what colour. Using the article below match the pin on the radio to the usb pin. For the usb end take an old usb cable and connect the radio lead to the usb cable. I hope that makes a bit of sense.
@@G7OEA thanks for the help will give that a go, Merry Christmas and a happy new year

It is rj45 plug to usb but wood like to no how to wire the rj45 plug
Jeffrey Haswell have a look at

You want to connect to pins 3,6 and 7. Make sure your usb to TTL is rated at 3.3v otherwise you risk damaging the rig.

Hey buddy, it work with Entel HT 582? Thanks in advance
I a way yes. The whole idea is that the usb to 9pon is a constant youbthen buils what we've lead you want on the other end. I've had a look around for the entel ht582. They use an odd circular plug. But all is not lostitbis possible to make your own lead by reverse engineering. I had a look at this site www.pmctelecom.co.uk/entel-ht-series-programming-cable-eprog-ht-new/?amp=1
And there is a high quality photo of the programming lead. More importantly the pins required. You need tx rx and ground. Ground should net be hard to identify after that isbis trial and error as to which pin is rx and which is tx.
If you have a look for pogo pins such as these
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FQ52W88/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_ZTAA6D594TNDM7CNEWNG
And a bit of very board or perf board you should be able to make a connector. Solder a wire on the know ground pin then slofer onto the other two pins. If it does notbwork swap tx and rx.
Hope that helps. This is off the top of my head.
Do You succesfull program Your Entel? I've got problem with 844 and looking for solution
How wood I wire it to work on a Tait tm8200
Jeffrey Haswell you would need to make a cable to go from the 9 pin male socket that then terminates in what ever connector is on the tait.
One thing to be careful of is some kit is designed to run at RS232 levels or 12v and some at TTL levels i.e. 5v. This lead is for TTL.
