    I successfully used this to program my  Kenwood TM-V71A  ham radio using the free Chirp software. I paired it with a  TRENDnet TU-S9 USB to Serial Converter , and it worked beautifully. I'll probably buy a couple more of these while they are still available to have as backup or for friends who also use the Kenwood radios!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for Audio Equipment
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2011

    I bought this HOSA cable to connect my Kenwood TM-D710A 2M/70CM ham radio transceiver to my shack computer. Hosa advertises this cable for use in connecting a computer to various electronic musical instruments. They need to widen this recommendation - the cable will work on any device that uses a 8-pin mini-DIN connector for an RS-232 port that is wired in the standard Apple layout (crossover of data & control signals from the DB-9 end to the mini-DIN end).

    I've seen cable from other vendors for this purpose, and some of the prices are just nuts (Kenwood wants $38 for an equiv. cable!!) and the construction quality of some of the other cables I've looked at is a bit suspect. The Hosa cable is well built with good strain reliefs on both ends & uses good quality shielded cable. That last item is very important when the cable is to be used in a radio shack, since one does NOT want to get RF feedback back into the radio's control ports, especially when you are doing packet radio.

    I'd HIGHLY recommend this cable to any ham that has a radio or other equipment that requires such a cable - it is a HIGH quality cable at a very attractive price.

    As with others, used mine as a programming cable for the Kenwood TM-D710A radio. Was able to flash firmware for all three components (Main, TNC, and Panel), and was able to program memories.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome INEXPENSIVE substitution for the Kenwood PG-5G cable that is used to program the TM-V71A or TM-D710.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2015

    I bought this to program a Kenwood TM-V71A amateur radio. This is a direct replacement for the Kenwood PG-5G PC Interface Cable. The only difference between this and the Kenwood cable is that this one costs 5 times less. I have successfully used the Kenwood MCP-2A software (free download on their site) and the venerable CHIRP radio programming software (also free) to program my radio using this cable. Please note that if you want to connect this to a USB port on your computer, you'll need a USB 2.0 to serial adapter like the  Sabrent USB 2.0 to Serial (9-Pin) DB-9 RS-232 Converter Cable (CB-DB9P)  Many computers these days don't have serial ports, so you better look into that before you order.
