Hi Martin, I¡¯m using the Chinese clone on my FT817, non ND w the Z817 LDG tuner. It works well, but the difference in baud rate requires a change for each device. That may be the case for any type of hookup. I watched Chris¡¯s youtube video, but I¡¯m not computer savvy enough to know what conflicts you may run in to. Good luck
