does anyone know how can i pair baofeng bf-t3 my kids have with a baofeng bf-h7. i can't find the correct frequences

If within the UK, the BF-T3 should be 8 channels 1-8 on the PMR 446 frequencies. You just need the first 8 channels programmed into the BF-H7. But however, the BF-H7 isn't legal to use on 446MHz in the UK due to its power output and removable antenna.

My question is how to upload my pre programmed Bao Feng frequencies and then transfer them to a new TYT HT-7800 I received in a raffle.... I was able to upload to the Chirp but then when trying to transfer those to the TYT radio the 'radio' is greyed out showing Bao Feng and I cannot change to the TYT HT 7800.... There's gotta be a way though.....I haven't figured that out....

I have the next generation Tidradio H8. When I try to upload my frequency list I get this error message > unable to upload file. This is a radio- independant file and can not be uploaded directly to a radio. open a radio image (or download one from a radio) And then copy/paste items from this tap into that one in order to up load. HuH? what radio image? where do I get it from this H8? I am connected to the radio via a tidradio cable. the radio is selected in chirp. all looks good except for this error. Please help. Thankyou

Doesn't sound like it's compatible, it may even be the driver not communicating with the computer correctly too. Have you tried Tidradio's own programming software?

Messing with the length of the antenna will change the SWR of the set. Potentially damaging it.

Hi - I a few days ago I purchased UV5RE Plus. Looked at various sites like yours to program it for use on on the Radio Ham bands. I chose yours to guide me through the settings on both bands ie 2 meters etc. When getting to the TDR Off memory settings it appears to stay ON and not say OFF. Is it possible BAOFENG have changed this do you know. Regards G1 Barrie
