If your radio is not responding to the Software, then swap the RX and TX connections to the USB dongle. Some dongles have the labels swapped.
Tested the interface with CE63 software on Windows 10 64bit and 32bit. (After setting compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3).
Also note the Pins 1 and 2 is shorted in the diagram. This works. However, one of them may be optional i.e. no connection would be required to either 1 or 2. Please drop a comment if you tried and confirmed the same.
Thanks for sharing this. I had the job of programming one of these radios and this cable worked a treat. Even with Win 11.
ReplyDeleteYou were right about switching RX and TX on the YP-05 serial adaptor, indeed these are marked in reverse.
Pin 1 & 2 shorted just as your design worked well.
I found the CE63 software on the vendor's Russian site for free download this this helps anyone :)
Also a note to anyone working on this set, there is a weird off-hook behaviour that need the mic rear hanger connecting to the ground of the radio to get audio however this can be defeated in the software settings, but had me puzzled for a bit.
