Well this radio programming is over my head. I was just hoping that "most" walkie's would communicate with each other on the same channel. Dad just got a set of another brand and we can't communicate. I have the PX888S. I guess the same radio but different names. Seems I have to buy the USB cable and take a course on radios 😞

The Baofeng radio is actually more that a walkie. It is actually a ham radio with 16 channels but no display. These radios are designed to require programming before use. As opposed to walkie talkies that you can buy that are a matched set designed to be used only on the pre-programmed frequency.

Hi, can any 1 help can we still program bf 888s now?.i tried but it didnt worked tried to test vhf but as it seems bf 888s is only support uhf

The Baofeng BF888s only support UHF. It does not support VHF. If you need VHF from a handheld you will need to purchase a different radio such as a UV-5R or similar type radio.

Do these work straight out of the box or do they have to be programmed?

You need to program the channels that you want to use to communicate.

i can't seem to program them to work on MURS channels. The radio will take the MURS channel but will not work? because of all the other settings? WHAT ARE ALL THE OTHER SETTINGS for the MURS channels?

I ordered 5 sets of these for my crew. When I turn them on and press the PTT button they just turn off. I just programmed all of them and have the same results.

I have not seen that response at all with regards to the radios turning off. I am guessing that you charged the batteries when you received them. Depending on the carrier they do not allow units to be shipped with batteries being in a fully charged state.

@@AI5HV Thank you for your reply. Yes we charged them up completely. I even ordered another set from another vendor and that set is doing the same thing. Sometimes they will work for about a minute or so but then they just turn off after pressing the PTT.

how to get port
@AI5HV2 жыл бұрын
Bring up Device Manager on the computer. Look under Ports (Com & LPT). You are looking for USB Serial Port (COM#). Make sure that is the port that you are using in the Chirp software. If for some reason you do not see this entry under Device Manager, try plugging the cable into a different USB port. I hope these suggestions help.
