I'm using that same cable on Baofeng (2 models), TID Radio (2 models) and an Explorer QRZ-1.  Works just fine.

The AR-5RM is a mean black radio that no one needs for hunting or self-defense.  The founding fathers could not foresee this dangerous radio being developed when they spoke of the right to bear AR-5RMs.  You may be a law-abiding citizen with outstanding morals, but these items should be controlled so only criminals can have one.  

Crap, I was wearing the wrong hat when I read and posted. (Takes off NRA hat and puts on radio nerd hat).

I like my AR-5RM.  I just got one (well two) and I have been sitting around learning how to program it with Chirp and listening to local amateur repeaters.  Sitting for my tech licenses on the 9th.  Can't wait to hit the transmit button.

My only complaint would be that Boofwang needs to change the color of the menu letters.  It is fine to read indoors, but not outside in sunlight.  They need white letters.
