Most Baofeng radios can be programmed with use of the original Baofeng software, depending on the firmware of the radio. Once programmed, the BF888 or BF-T88 list could be something like this: That makes it to 16 UHF channels, exactly what is needed for programming the BF-888, BF888s or the BF-T88 radio. The programming list that I have made for universal useage of of prgramming Baofeng radios is based on 8x Kenwood (Kenwood channel 01-08 with CTCSS coding) and 8x PMR (Basic, with no CTCSS coding).
Baofeng bf 888s chirp programming software#
The Chirp software has many (not all) options and features and works with all these UV-5Rx models, equiped with the latest firmware.
Baofeng bf 888s chirp programming driver#
The generic Windows driver that is included in the Windows operating system itself, is not the right one! It has to be replaced with the one that is to be found on the internet, or on the right side of this page (My Place). These interfaces are in the cable that can be ordered separately, every interface needs its own Windows driver. In my case, I have used different Windows computers for testing and the programming software I use is Chirp, as well as the original software that came with the USB cable for these radio's.Īfter these softwareprograms are installed and work, one has to keep in mind that USB cables simulate RS232 signals.Īny kind of RS232 connectors nowadays aren't available on most computers, so we have to use interfaces that transform RS232 signals to USB signals. Keep in mind that cables are copies of genuine cables and they will not work 'out of the box'. I have used a cable that I've ordered together with a radio at 409Shop, and found out that it's tricky to get it working. It is a well known fact that there and some difficulties when installing these cables and their software drivers. So, all Baofeng radios do not confirm the legal PMR/LPD specs!īaofeng radiodevices (as described) can be programmed with use of an USB interface cable. So, glueing antenna and radio together does not make it confirming to PMR specs!Ĭertified PMR power must be 500mW MAX! by design, programming this Baofeng radio to a lower power still doesn't make it legal either. These radios have their antennas fixed to the body of the radio and they are not exchangeable or detachable by design. PMR frequencies can be used only on PMR certified radios. Still, these radios are offered on several (Dutch) internet marketplaces by several (Dutch) HAM licensed sellers (with a PD/PA/PE or other call-name). Only HAM licensed amateur-radio-stations with a registered call are allowed to use them, only on certain frequencies! First a warning! In Holland (The Netherlands) one can buy these radios and one may own them, but one may not use them for transmitting!
