Refer to the website http://www.miklor.com/UV82You will find factory and CHIRP software there.You will have no problems with an FTDI cable.No need to spend more on a cable than the cost of the radio.

With all due respect to Chinese electronics and radios, they can be a bear to program. As a ham radio person, I have found that RT Systems Software is one of the best programming software companies out there. They have the software for this radio and have a cable that is specific to the software that uses a USB port and finds the COMM port so you don't have to worry about that stuff. The program is easy to use and is in ENGLISH!! The RT Systems website is http://www.rtsystemsinc.com/ . Look for the Baofeng section and pick the software for the UV-82. They have several options but the software only works with their cable. I hope this helps. With all due respect to Chinese electronics and radios, they can be a bear to program.

CHIRP software and the UV5 program cable work great on the UV82...ALSO the AC adapter is the same on both UV5 and UV82 ,so the car charger will work fine also as the charge regulator is in the charging stand.

The charger actually will need to be plugged into the Li-ion BATTERY CHARGER unit (AC/DC ADAPTER) that comes with the Baofeng, NOT the radio itself. My base unit says "Model: CH-5" on the decal located on the bottom of the charger unit. Plug in the Car Charger Cable adapter into your vehicle, then put your Baofeng into the Base unit. You should see the Red LED come on to indicate that it is charging. If you do not see the Red LED, double check to make sure your Baofeng is properly seated AND the charger is all the way into the 12V adapter in your vehicle. Aloha, Bill.

I think they make one now that has a USB port. Mine is older model. Can't charge anything. Also if you just looking, I wouldn't get this. The solar panel takes forever to really charge. And radio or flashlight only works couple of minutes

The 3800 mAH battery pack for the UV5R should fit this radio as it was designed specifically for backwards compatibility with the uv5r

There is a pin in the middle of the hole but no instructions about charging through the hole such as polarity or voltage needed. A mod (hand grinding the plastic) is needed to fit the UV5R+. No mod is needed to charge from the bottom using the stock charger.

You are probably best to go to your local Radio Shack with the DTV. Their staff should be able to configure the appropriate charger for under $25 .

UV-5R plus, yes. but keep in mind if you have a lot of traffic it will get hot and melt. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED

any usb car charger with original apple cable will work. 10bucks here on amazon

Spend the extra 7 bucks and get a programming cable. You can plug it into a PC or Mac and fill out a spreadsheet-like Table and upload it into the radio.The cable and software can be a bit tricky. Here is a link that guilders me through setup:http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php#macIf all of the options in the program appear as question marks, goto the last option on the file menu, and select "English" (it will be the only option that isn't question marks.

SIMPLE! All the USB car adapters are 5V DC output. I got that Car Charger , Maxboost 4.8A/24W 2 Smart Port Car Charger [Black] for iPhone 6S Plus 6 Plus 6 5S 5 5C 4S, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Note 5 4 S5 Tab S, LG G4, HTC One M9, Nexus 5X 6P 5, iPads Portable and a barrel adapter USB cord StarTech.com USB2TYPEM 3 Feet USB to Type M Barrel 5V DC Power Cable and its all setup. The Nyrius just turns on when I get in the car and my phone pairs. WAY better sound than 3 prior purchases of car bluetooth adapters. Downside is you have to use the phone as the controller. Didnt need the optical tho. SIMPLE! All the USB car adapters are 5V DC output.

The car type connector will not work. I believe the name of the connector is a BNC connector. Its the kind you usually find on handheld scanners and such. If you google BNC connector, you will have a good idea of what it looks like. Also, it does come with a decent car window antenna. Hope this helps

what are the dimensions of this gizmo? preferably--what are the dimensions of this gizmo WITH the UV5R inside this charger?

The description says "Full Backwards Compatibility with All UV-5R Accessories. " I would take that as a YES.

Bill,I assume so. I have the UV5R a nice little mobile radio.What differences exist between yours and mine shouldnot prevent its installation.Make sure that your BNC is attached to quality coaxand that the length is tuned to low SWR and that the aerial is matched.A high SWR might kill the UV5RA.RegardsI assume so. I have the UV5R unit and what little differences exist they should not upset its installati

A genuine cable (kenwood icon, etc.) will work I assume. The cheap Chinese cables will work as well , (suck as the ones found on amazon,) will work too. The issue with these is the drivers. If you buy one, (I own two,) you need do some research on line on how to install the driver. Once you get the driver installed for the cable the rest is simply programming the radio and writing the info. You also best to stay withthe uv-b5 series in my opinion, as the uv-5r series has several different firmware versions and that makes it a pain to use. The b5 writes very well. Inhave not used a uv-82. I hope this helped. YouTube also has some good videos that demonstrate how to install the proper driver. A genuine cable (kenwood icon, etc.) will work I assume.

Any universal charger works, especially since these don't need to be refreshed as they have no "memory." You might as well go with a cheap one or one you already have. I use two different ones, a RadioShack universal & an Energizer NiMH. Good luck.
