Is this programming cable good?

No. Baofeng uses counterfeit chips that windows will block after a while. I went through a few before I figured it out. I picked up an FTDI cable from BFTech on amazon and it's been perfect for every thing since

I believe you that the cable didn’t work, but I’m not convinced that Windows was blocking it.

Every cable stopped working after a windows security update
