Chase –
Works flawlessly on the UV-5RA but does not work on the UV-5R mini. Fortunately, the pair of minis I purchased came with a USB-A cable that I was able to use. I would prefer to do both on USB-C as my M4 MacBook Pro and M4 Mac Mini only have USB-C ports. I must use a dongle or my Satechi hub in order to use the USB-A cable. I like to reduce the number of dongles and adapters required.
