Programming made simple
Downloaded the software, plugged this in, and had all my channels set up in under twenty minutes. Drivers installed without a hitch on Windows 11. Way easier than punching in tones on the radio keypad. If you own multiple Performa radios this cable is basically required.

Does the job
Connected my TrailBlazer first try and programming went smoothly. Software is a little dated but the cable itself is solid.

Fine cable, software takes patience
The cable works and my computer recognizes it every time. The programming software is where the learning curve is, not the cable. Once I watched a tutorial it all made sense. No real complaints.

Worth every penny at $10
I manage radios for a small volunteer group and this has saved me hours of manual setup. Cloning settings across a dozen units takes minutes now. The USB-C end fits modern laptops nicely, which was the whole reason I picked this version.

Good for fleet setup
Used it to set privacy codes and channels on four Performa 600 radios. Reliable connection each time, no dropped sessions mid-write.

Wouldn't connect for me
My laptop kept failing to detect the radio. Tried three USB ports and another computer with no luck. Might be a bad unit, but frustrating.

Essential accessory
Exactly what Cobra should ship with the radios in the first place. Sturdy strain relief on the connector and clean data transfers every time.
