I have the BCH-270 and it’s a GREAT radio. I have an extra battery and lots of accessories including the programming cable. But the programming software only works on Windows 7. I haven’t been able to figure out if it’s possible to use the cable with a 3rd party software like CHIRP because I don’t know which similar radio type to select for connecting. Any idea of alternative software for Windows 10?
I was wondering if this radio is still available for purchase? If yes could you send me a link to it. The BCH-220 1.25 meter handheld radio.
Thank you
