Eliminate programming headaches and driver installation errors forever with the BF-TECH CA FTDI PC01 Genuine USB Programming Cable. Designed specifically for two-way radio operators who require rock-solid reliability, this cable incorporates an authentic, certified FTDI chipset embedded directly inside the USB connector housing. Unlike generic counterfeit cables that trigger Windows "Code 10" driver faults, the PC01 provides seamless, plug-and-play communication between your PC and radio right out of the box.
Featuring the industry-standard K1 (Kenwood 2-pin) connector, the FTDI PC01 allows you to effortlessly read, write, organize, and back up channel rosters, CTCSS/DCS tones, repeater offsets, and power levels on your favorite transceivers. It is fully compatible with open-source CHIRP programming software as well as factory OEM CPS software across Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.
📻 Amateur Radio Licensing Notice
This programming cable is used to configure memory channels and operating parameters on compatible two-way transceivers. An Amateur Radio Operator Certificate issued by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) (or an FCC Amateur License for US operators) is required to operate transmitting equipment on amateur frequencies. Licensed operators are responsible for ensuring station operation complies with the guidelines set out in ISED RBR-4.
⚡ Authentic FTDI Chipset: Zero Driver Frustration
Say goodbye to broken third-party driver installations and counterfeit silicon errors. Authentic FTDI chipsets are recognized natively by modern operating systems (Windows 10/11, macOS, and Linux). Simply plug the cable into an available USB port, and your OS will automatically configure the correct virtual COM port with zero driver patching required.
📦 Direct Warehouse Dispatch
All BF-TECH CA products ship direct from the BF-TECH CA distribution facility in Ontario. Orders are processed rapidly for reliable domestic carrier delivery anywhere across Canada with zero border delays or import brokerage fees.
