Has anyone used any of the 5K and 3K ribless cables being sold on Ebay? Do these actually work?

I am using one of the ones for the 3k and it works great.

I have one of the XTS5000 ribless serial cables that is being sold out of Hong Kong. I got it in a deal along with a radio and it works fine with my Xts5k. I have yet to try it on an XTS3000 or any other radio.

I just picked up a ribless JEDI/XTS cable from Panter88. I read my XTS3000 about 15 times before I'd even think about writing. I finally wrote the radio with NO problems. The only snag I've run into is the cable doesn't fit quite right on my HT1000- that is, the spring clip is too thick to seat properly in the top of the mic connector. Other than that, It's a great cable for $45!

I also e-mailed several buyers of the cable and asked them how well it worked. Nobody had any complaints.

I just picked up one for the xts3k. I will be pissed if it doesnt work

The cable for the XTS5000 is completely different than a XTS3000/Jedi Series Cable. The 5000 Cable only works for xts5000, xts2500, xts1500, pr1500, and other new astro25 portables, so those of you with either or cable don't try going to read and write to the other model.

I got one of the rib-less cables from E-bay and it works like a champ.
