This
listing is for a single BlueMax49ers, aftermarket, 6 ft, CT-29B FTDI
Programming Cable, drivers, programming software, and installation technical
support for the Yaesu FT-7900 models with a 3-year replacement warranty.
My call sign is KJ6ZWL. This business is our passion! We have
been in business since 2013 and have sold over 75,000 cables. Our BlueMax46ers cables work. We provide same-day shipping on orders received before
3 p.m. Pacific Time from San Jose, California. Here are more reasons you
will want to buy this cable from BlueMax49ers.
Our
customers' first problem is finding the correct cable for their radio, scanner,
etc. We stock over one hundred different programming cables proven to
work with more than 5,000 radios, scanners, and other devices. All cables
come with a 3-year replacement warranty. We use over two hundred radios
to test our cables to ensure they work! If you cannot find a BlueMax49ers
cable for your model on eBay, contact us. Contact us if you want
custom-length cables.
The
second problem is finding out what programming software they will need for
their model and if it will work on the computer’s operating system version that
they have. It is the programming software that
limits the operating systems that you will need, not the cable. More
than half of the software in our library is not compatible with Windows 10 or
11. Our BlueMax46ers Software
Advisor recommends operating systems compatibility for all our software titles.

The
third problem is finding the latest programming software to
download. If available, we have 1,000 different programming
software titles, wide-band and narrow-band, in our programming software
library. In most cases, we can share download links to the software for a
customer who buys our cable. We do not sell software. After you buy
a cable on eBay, you must send us an email or message requesting the download
link.
The fourth problem is getting technical support when you have a problem.
All our cables come with installation instructions, email address, and cell
phone number. We stand behind everything we sell and promise to do our
best to troubleshoot any problem you experience.
Please
check this listing's photos for a close-up of the connector to ensure that this
cable matches the physical characteristics of your radio's port before ordering
this cable. Most radios use the microphone jack as the
programming port, but some have a separate data port for programming and PC to
internal TNC interface. It is essential to know that programming cables
use fewer signal pins than a microphone, so the pinouts are typically more
straightforward than your microphone cable.
Q. Where can I find the
device drivers for my FTDI or Prolific cable?
A. Typically, the operating system
will install the drivers when you plug the cable into the computer.
Finding and installing the device drivers automatically takes 4 to 6 minutes. The
cable comes with installation instructions on how to download and install any
drivers that you need.
Q. How can I tell if the USB serial cable I buy uses
the Prolific or FTDI USB to serial converter chipset?
A. If it does not say FTDI in
the listing title, it will use the Prolific chipset. True USB cables do
not use USB to serial chipsets.
Q. What is the difference
between FTDI and Prolific USB serial cables other than the FTDI are more
expensive?
A. Our FTDI
cables have LED activity lights and are typically 6 feet in length.
Contact us if you want custom-length FTDI cables. Our Prolific cables do
not have activity lights and are 3 feet long.
Q. Do your cables work with
RTSystems software?
A. Yes, beginning with Rev 5.0 of RTSystems software now works with cables from other vendors including BlueMax49ers.
