As a new person going into radio's this has to be the most best guide I've found, you explain how to use, operate and set-up everything perfectly, the most useful person I've watched in a bit now

Great little radios, very popular, simple to use and a very good price right now too. Comms are vital

If you had to screw the antenna on then they are an older model. The new ones are fixed, in the UK at any rate.

Just ordered a pair off Amazon, great upload.

Thank you this was very informative I have 2 of these and all ways paid to have it program

Sorry, but you are too confusing with your instructions

I got two, working properly but some other people use the same and I here them in my radio. There is a school nearby and I here those askaris in my radio,what can I do?

your accent sounds like you've lived in my neck of the woods at one time NY :) again thanks for the informative video

tip: use 1-7 low power, long talk & 8-15 for high power (real 15-22), use slot 16 with tone DCS xxxx anti bozoo channel of your choice

Great Video , I have 15 BF888 radios, I want extend the range, how do I use a repeater with my BF888 radios?

I acquired 4 of these models but mine say Pxton I'm guessing it's just a branding thing? Anyway I don't know anything about radios I didn't even know you could program them. I might use them around the house with my teen boys. Also as emergency backup communication. Unfortunately I don't have the time and money for a new hobby but I'm interested in knowing what I can do with the ones I have and what all I need. Like what's a FRS stations , repeaters?

Can anyone tell me what cable is being used to upload? A link would be nice. Ty

Hi, how long do these hold a charge? what's short distance? one mile in hilly terrain?

I'm trying to figure out how to make them scan. How do you know it's scanning?

Great little radios. Seems to be a problem with chirp now however and unable to program through chirp. But I downloaded the baofeng software and can program with it. Again great radios for the price. Also, you can program 16 and still scan all 16 channels. I have mine set up this way and have confirmed it does scan all 16 channels. Check scan box in programming, then turn to ch 16, while off hold ptt and top orange side key while powering on and you will here "on" or "off". Make sure it has said "on" then it scans while tuned to ch 16 and it scans all 16 channels.

I'm new to this - I just purchased some BF-88A walkies thinking they would work with my current BF-888S walkies, however they do not. Can I program both of these to work or is there a different frequency on both?

I'm new to this type of stuff. Will these triple eights communicate to ham? Radios

Hello Anthony you just sold me on getting a set of these radio just ordered two of them for $21 bucks. will keep you updated on what i think. Fort mill sc.

Just bought this to use with my colleagues at work but can’t get it to recognise their frequency any ideas,

Just got my extended antennas today

I have these radios and sometimes they wont TX when I hit the PTT, the ptt red light blinks then they power off . I have to turn the radio off then back on again, sometimes a few times before I can TX again....anyone run into this?

hey honey you are too close, you are right on target, stop the car come back a little more!!! hahaha

very good Great video

what's the range of the radio?

Not bad for the price. I'm not sure if they are type accepted by the FCC for FRS/GMRS service but I haven't heard of anyone being penalized yet. BTW, check out a TYT TH-UV8000d handheld radio. It's relatively inexpensive ($70) but it can work as a cross-band repeater, 10 watts too. Very nice radio. Comes with 2 antennas and cable/software to program. I'll build a portable cross band repeater with this radio. It will be invaluable during SHTF. Place it on top of a hill or a mountain and you get a huge area covered and it doesn't cost $400.

When scanning on Chan 16 how do I know which channel I'm on when it detects a signal

I have the Baofeng BF-888S, but can I connect to the BF-88ST?

Can anyone recommend some good antennas?

Will this connect both radios together? I have 2 of the same models. Will I be able to talk and hear myself on the other radio?

I got the same exact ones except it is the Pxton brand. 3 out of 4 give a "change battery warning" as soon as I took them out of the box and charged them and don't work.

How far can they reach

These are great little radios. Dirt cheap too! Programmed them with FRS frequencies, except for the frequencies that have a transmit limit of .5 watts.

I can't get my Midland GXT000 to work with my neighbor's BaoFeng BF 888S. We're on the same channel--and we tried several 1-22. I have no privacy codes set. Do the BF 888S radios come with or without the privacy codes?

Hello sir, I Purchased one set (2 pcs.) Earlier of this model and i was using it and now i purchased one more set of 2 pcs. Of same model but even after keeping all 4 pcs frequencies same they all 4 are not receiving signal only two pcs. Which came along of their set are working

I don't understand. Do you have to program these radios don't they work right out of the box? Why program to get different frequencies for some reason?

So this radios can work any where in the world?

are they legal out of the box? without programming?

Hello. Haw can i reset to factory setings?

what does leave it on "scan" mean?

Can you put digital fire department on them

Sorry but just new on using baofeng radio. Why put the first 3 channels in low power and leave channel 16 blank for scanning? Please elaborate.

Is those radios can use in eny country?

Does it cost to use a repeater?

Does it work for 777s model

I got two of those they do not and I repeat do not work so then there should be no reason for them to be on the market because they don't work

How to connect Baofeng with Motorola

It is better in sound and long distance 88E/888S

Can youmake it a police scanner

Great video! Can you pair a UV-5R with a BF-888s?

do you have to program them or. are gmrs channels in there on default?

Be NICE if you said which RADIO you picked in the Software to be compatible with the BF-888S,because it is NOT LISTED on CHIRP SITE...

What is the range of close area

WHATS THE MAX DISTANCE THAT IT CAN REACH? MILES OR KM

Why need programs for? I bought 4 to use at home all at the mall with my kid i don't know much about walkie talkie i just use for fun with my kid

What is the cable name, which connect radio to the pc

What does having a local repeater help with? Also when you erase what’s in the radio & upload your own frequencies, does that make you channels private?

Listening, listening, all is well. Goes to CHIRP software, talks, blows left speaker.

I got the same radios I have 5 each were $100

Can I program for Police Scanner?

i nid😅

Do you need a HAM radio license?
