Save your money, the only thing this radio would be good for is a paperweight.

After spending most of the day trying to get it to connect to a PC, I gave up and am sending it back. Pathetic.

**************UPDATE***************
After installed dozens of programming packages and USB drivers, the standard programming cable (connecting to the spk/mic jack) would not be recognized by three different PC's. The rig also has a micro USB port. Finally I found one program that would accept a micro USB connection without a com port. This port is displayed as a printer port. So after days of messing with this thing, I finally got it to program. So it does work...it does win the prize for the most difficult to program rig I have owned. This is due to the fact the rig is relatively new to the market and there is very little information out there on it. Baofeng does not have any software for this radio on their site.

The software that works is called "MD radio programming software" version 1.00.66. Hopefully this will save someone the time and hassle of getting this radio programmed.
