Don't know for that particular model but works with the Baofeng 5R Plus. Works great. I haven't checked it with a SWR meter, but when I replaced the antenna that came with it, with this one, it did increase range on the 2m band.

I have that cable and it works well with the Baofeng software but the right driver was a problem, a friend of mine that is tuned into to this set it up for me, as I can tell that is going to be the biggest problem.

How would you connect this antenna, is there a place on the radio for a second antenna (e.g. 75 ohm or two screws?) 75 ohm would require a converter. This is an inexpensive antenna, and not very good. I don't believe it will make the reception better, as you already have an antenna. If your radio has a place to attach a second antenna, look for a better antenna.

I have not tried it with that model, but I can tell you that all Baofeng U-series radios are essentially identical except for cosmetics and firmware. Firmware changes have low impact with how CHIRP works (that's the software you will use on your computer). The most difficult part using this cable is getting drivers that will support a COM port over USB. I personally believe this cable will work with all U-series radios - however I have not tried it with all of them. I hope this helps. Cheers.

It works quite well on the 2M and 70cm bands , I.e. 144 to 148 and 440 MHz. I've also used on several FRS Channels 462MHz . Works much better than the "rubber duck" antenna.

The BF-888S only works in UHF mode. The 400-470 MHz range. The UV-5REs work in UHF and VHF. My local cop channel is in the 155 MHz range, so the BF-888Ss wouldn't be able to pick up most of the transmissions that city, county, and state agencies use.

Yes I have a VHF antenna and UHF and combine them. If it is a UHF/VHF combo + another UHF/VHF combos idk. Should work fine though, can't see it not. Pretty simple device.

I don't know. I have a Baofeng UV5R in mine w/an adapter cable. It works with or without the antenna on.

Works just fine with Baofeng software. Let the cable install itself, do not use any USB cable drivers provided by Baofeng. Basically it will work with any programming software since the cable simply uses a USB-serial adapter. You choose the correct serial port inside the programming software, and you are good to go.

I have no personal experience with either of those models, but Baofeng hasn't changed this since the UV-2, so I would guess it would be fine. In any case, it's not a big investment...

It increased the reception on my BaoFeng *UV-5R Plus* UV 5R+ Dual-Band 136-174/400-480 MHz FM Ham Two-way Radio. I'm not an expert, but I would think it would help.

Hello and thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee that this item will work with an over air antenna. I am sorry and if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

Yes. That was specifically why I bought this cable. I have several Baofeng radios and this cable works with the default software. As a bonus it works with Kenwood radios as well.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I am wondering the same thing - did you ever find an antenna that works? Thanks!

No. This model antenna is specific to UHF frequencies. For VHF at that distance, I'd recommend this &lt;http://is.gd/OhpTQJ&gt;.

a Baofeng radio is a Boafeng radio, no matter where you get it from. so as long as it is as pictured, yes it will work.
