If you give it a try, let me know what you think.

It's the first result I get when I search "BF888s". His post is like 2 years old.

I did a search in the forum on this radio before making my post, and I saw a post of some guy's picture of the insides of an 888 all wired up to what looked like a raspberry Pi . It was his only post and nobody responded to it. Not sure if I can link it to this thread.

While I don't have a Woxoun, the one Mildland I do have does kinda suck. I got it for free so not too big a deal. It just sits on a shelf with the rest of my collection. It could be that it's just old and has been abused. Not sure. Most of my radios are Motorola. But my Baofengs are my go to's. BF-888s for GMRS, and AR-5rm for everything. LOL

He actually left a nice comment this time.

This is my opinion. The BF-888s by Baofeng makes for a handy GMRS HT. Paired with a Nagoya NA-701G antenna, I have found RX and TX to be quite clear. It's 16 channels can be programmed via CHIRP. It has 5 watts of power, so I set up 15 of its channels to GMRS 1-7 and 15-22. The 16th channel can be set up to whatever you like or left blank. When scanning is enabled through CHIRP, channel 16 becomes your scanner. The radio is super lightweight, which I find ideal for carrying on my belt. It's very inexpensive. The last 2 pack with charging docks that I purchased was $19.99. So, accidents are not very heartbreaking. In fact, the Nagoya 701g antenna is only a dollar cheaper than the 2 pack of these radios. Are there better radios out there? Absolutely. Is this radio part 95? Absolutely not. But with the proper programming, one can stay within all the other "rules". There are no fancy screens and buttons. Just a knob for volume, and a knob to select channel. The voice prompt lets you know what channel you're on. This is an ideal option for helping family members that are not tech savvy get into GMRS with very little to confuse them. I just wanted to give my personal review of what I think is a great little budget HT. It has become my everyday carry for home and work. May the haters now commence their hate speeches.

That's a good deal. But I already have a couple. Thanks for the offer.

Yeah... I have a new Mac. I guess I can give it a try. Or just use my windows machine. I was mostly interested in knowing what the factory 99 frequencies are. All my searching so far only tells me what the factory settings are and the frequencies set to channels 1 - 4.

I've been trying to find software that I can use to program my Motorola RMU2040 with my Mac. It seems that the CPS from Motorola's website is not compatible. Am I wrong? Does anyone have suggestions?
-
I know. But I really want the stickers in case the FCC Men in Black beat down my door.
-
The Baofeng AR-5RM... Simply the best HT known to man. (Change my mind).
-
How much for a sheet of those stickers....

What is squelch tail?

Amazon has a limited time deal on Baofeng AR-5RM 's. $20 even for 1. Or 2 for $38. Just bought the 2 pack. Now I'll have 4. These supplies are still in the states.
-
I know it's weird, but I kinda want one... LOL

The Hat!!!! With a sad face like that, I feel even worse for him than I did before. Cheer up SoCal. All you have to do is turn your radio around. Now you won't have to throw it in the trash.

Aren't most law enforcement and emergency agencies running P25 now? I don't know if they are susceptible to our walkie talkies...

If they happen at night, would they be considered "nocturnal" ? Asking for a friend...

I'm looking for a HT that has scannable banks or groups if you will. My AR-5rm allows me to select which channels I want to scan, usually programmed by CHIRP. However, it's not convenient to change which ones to scan out in the "field". I would like something that has multiple groups or banks that I can set to scan on the fly. Like, if I'm scanning all channels on bank 1, then decide to scan bank 2 instead, I could easily switch with a button push or two. I'm sure something like that has to exist. I'm just not having much luck finding one in my searches. Does anyone here have a recommendation?

That left hand reveals the Alien inside...

I tried giving him the benefit of a doubt. But it seems that he's really only here to troll. You guys were right. But I had to try. I gave him chances to start a friendship. He obviously doesn't need anymore. All full. Good for him. Must be nice being so much more advanced than the rest of us worthless peons. I'm sorry Randy. I take back what I wrote to you about possibly letting SoCal have one of your giveaways. He would probably call whatever you gave him, a piece of garbage anyway. I will continue to feel bad for him. But, I think you're right. Time to add him to the block list. Any may I suggest that the Admins of this site add a pinned post for all the new people joining, warning them of this user. Because, they will be the only ones left to see anything he posts. All the best SoCal. Have a nice life. Over and Out. *BEEP*
