Baofeng UV-25 programming software
Open WebCHIRPWebCHIRP programs the Baofeng UV-25 in your browser. It runs the CHIRP project's own driver for this radio, so it reads and writes the same codeplug the desktop software does — without installing anything.
No driver install needed
Baofeng programming cables use a CH340, CP2102, PL2303 or FTDI USB-serial chip. WebCHIRP speaks to all four directly from the browser, so there is no driver package to download and no Windows version to match. Plug the cable in and pick the port when the browser asks.

Do I need the Baofeng CPS software?
No. WebCHIRP runs CHIRP's own Baofeng UV-25 driver in the browser, so it reads and writes the same codeplug the desktop software does.

1000, numbered 1 to 1000 in the channel table.
