The programming cable goes into the mic jack. The available software is VERY basic, but beats doing it with the keypad on the mic.

I got mine today. Just have it hooked up on the bench right now. So far, it seems to be functioning as designed. It does have that annoying "pop" every time a station breaks the squelch. That seems to be typical of the Chinese radios. My Tidradio TH-8 does the same thing. The programming software is very basic. You can only program Transmit, receive, tones, and power settings. No Alpha naming and no editing functions. The database is a .dat file. Hopefully RT Systems or Chirp will release a compatible version.

Yeah, mine too. Long trip from China, tho.

Yeah, but I like to live on the cutting edge.

FYI, the DB40-G is not shipping yet. I ordered one on the 13th and it was to ship before the 20th, according to their website. It is now saying it will ship before the 26th. They did, however, charge my credit card the full amount upon order. UPDATE: I did just now receive an email from Support informing me that there is a firmware issue that is delaying shipment.
