Questions about this item

How do I install the FTDI USB programming cable on my Kenwood TM-V71, and what step is often missed?

Connect the USB end to the computer, install the FTDI drivers before plugging the 8-pin connector into the radio's PG-5G or PG-5H port, then select the correct COM port in your programming software.
