The Thales 25 is a great radio, and can be programmed pretty easily from the keypad. The trouble comes when you want to change side or top button controls. Programming cables are extremely hard to find right now, so I made this to connect my PC to the radio.

The pins I used are:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NKF2Y5S (push them out of the plastic blocks)

The serial adapter I used:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0759HSLP1

The serial connectors:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093CXFYY9

There are only 3 pinholes, so it is pretty easy to get the wiring correct.

You'll need a #4-40 X 3/8in screw to hold the connector in place, and I used 22AWG wire I had.

I printed with 40% infill without issue, using eSun PLA+

To test once assembled, use PuTTY to try a serial loop back shorting pin 2 and 3 together.
