FT5DR cable to PC

Good Morning,
I have a FT5D handheld radio, and I am trying to connect the radio to my PC so I can use RF while using a packet/APRS software program.
Thanks
Joe

Do you have a Digirig Mobile and cables?

There are cables for the Yaesu FT-5DR in the Digirig store:

Yaesu HT Audio/PTT Cable – digirig

I am not sure if they will work for the Yaesu FT-5D.

Yes, these are the correct cables for FT-5DR. I use same cable with mine.

Hi Dennis
Do I need the digirig or just the cable? Thank you!

You will need Digirig. You can use Digirig Lite with this radio.
