I use the RT systems controller and cable. Mine uses a usb port and it works well. Sometimes you have to hold the cable where it hooks into the computer to keep a tight connection. I use Chirp on Baofeng radios and it also works well if you get the legitimate cable. The Baofeng/Kenwood cable are different than the Yaesu cable.
