HAMs

HAMs: Where do I get a cable to do USB (sound card+PTT) to BaoFeng, so that I can use Direwolf for APRS? The whole packet radio BBS scene makes a whole lot more sense to me than most of the other HAM usage, and I'd happily pay $35 for a pre-soldered cable.

Looks like https://baofengtech.com/accessories has the APRS-K2 TRRS CABLE that does some magic with Push-To-Talk that works with many low noise devices, and APRSdroid or Fldigi are the places to start.
