TID TD-UV68 programming software
Open WebCHIRPWebCHIRP programs the TID TD-UV68 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
TID 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.

Can I update the firmware on the TD-UV68?
TID publishes firmware updates, though not for every radio it has made. Its download page is where to check whether the TD-UV68 is one of them. TID radios are TIDRADIO models. The page asks which model you have and sends the file back, rather than linking it directly.
Firmware downloads at tidradio.com
WebCHIRP does not flash firmware. It reads and writes the channel list and settings over the programming cable, which is a separate part of the radio.

Questions
Do I need to install a USB driver to program the TID TD-UV68?
No. WebCHIRP talks to CH340, CP2102, PL2303 or FTDI programming cables from the browser, so there is nothing to install on Windows, macOS or Linux.
Do I need the TID CPS software?
No. WebCHIRP runs CHIRP's own TID TD-UV68 driver in the browser, so it reads and writes the same codeplug the desktop software does.
How many channels does the TID TD-UV68 hold?
199, numbered 1 to 199 in the channel table.
