Baofeng BF 888s Two Way Radio Review

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2017
- ⭐⭐16 channel walkie talkie from Baofeng, voice prompt, VOX. Additional batteries available meaning you can use and have spare on charge.
Comes with 2 x radio units + chargers, belt clips. Earpiece and mic. Very little static when in use and a built-in torch. Easily transmits without interference when in a building but good for distance outside. Something I will be taking on holiday (a great idea if you have never done it....)

Thank you so much for this review. Just purchased a pair for my husbands photography and videography company. Absolutely will love the in ear piece.
Thanks for the review! Will basically be using for store operations! Cheers!
I use a few of these in conjunction with the UV5-R for marshalling trackdays, every bit as good and easier to use than sets costing 10 times as much, battery life is great and replacement batteries cost peanuts. Well built robust little radios that are very user friendly and cost next to nothing. Great review on this excellent little radio.
i have this pair, it is a nice product and the coverage is also far, very useful for camping etc.
Gonna buy these, thank you for your review.
Did you buy them?
@@emericanty7705 no I haven’t, been very busy. I will let you know when I do.
Thank you for the review, i'll be getting one of this...
Me to mate
I really liked this review, you gave a lot of information about the radio .
The voice prompts for me, were very clear, but however the audio quality sounded a bit tinny in my opinion.
I have had a look at a pair of bowfung radios, but however I use a brand called retavis, which I recommend you try out.
Thanks for the feedback and I will try out the Retavis
Thank you so brother lots of love from North East India. 🥳🥳🤍♥️🖤🔥🔥⭐⭐.., Stay Helathy stay safe.
Omg which state

Hi 🙌 Im not sure how to turn on the alarm in channel 11, could you make a video showing how to do so?
Bought this for my management staff. Super nice, made all the employees jealous
how do u activate the emergency alarm
As there is no way to know which channel you are on other than the voice prompt, why would you turn it off? Mine arrived with inadequate instructions and with a random set of channels that were NOT PMR frequencies, and no programming lead.
Nice review. I just bought 2 on Ebay.
In the description on mine it says they are also ham radios can they be programmed for that as well or emergency channels
Thanks for your sharing ❤❤❤
how do we listen to fm radio ?
Trying to get battery of but I can't move it on either radio I must be doing some wrong .
No where else has said how to silence the prompts, brilliant!
Great little radios, had some for 3 or 4 years now
Nice review👍
Cheers Brian
Hello! Im looking foward on getting a pair of these for a racing car, I will be using VOX. My question is, does this feature work even with the ear piece/mic connected? And how sensitive it is if I have it inside the helmet?
thank you for this informations
Just had 2 of these arrive on my doorstep. Amazing, but I can't seem to get the earpiece to work..
Just ordered a pair sold as Nineaccy but pics this model, I'd best start practicing my drawl :-)
Cheers marra 👍
😂😂👍🏻
the default 16 channel of this radio is works with the Baofeng 777s default 16 channel ?
Do you know the range on these?
what yall gonna use them for?
I bought Ansoko two way radio through Amazon which looks exactly like this. I think they one and the same with different names!
It came without instruction manual and I am having difficulty with two way communication even within my house. Will be much appreciated if you can please post how to use instruction video. Thanks
does this radio also have a battery pack that works on AA-bateries instead of the standard lithium ion batteries?
I just bought one - there was only one in the box, clip, charger, lanyard, instructions no earpiece. I turn it on I just get a high pitched monotone A440. The antenna was attached
can you program them to Listen to Leisure centre on them and Construction sites
What is the talk range ?
how do u activate the emergency alarm
If i buy 4pc or 6pc sets, does all device here the input from one device? Or is it literally just two way?
All devices pick up what ever is being broadcast on that particular channel
Just ordered mine
Thx now i know about those channels i didnt know how to use it
Same here bro!
how many Meters far can i use it to have conection with the other one ?
I bought them very good quality
With the walkie talkies I am sure you can use these for late at night to talk to a friend with them as a hobby being it does seems like that is when most people are asleep
Is it a recommended first Walkie talkie
How long does it take to charge up & how do you know when it is fully charged please
A red light will be show
Thank u so much Btw!
i just tried it 1 and half mile nothing hear sounds each other why? the same models like yours.

I can't remember how to do it, but yes, you can turn of the voice prompt
U mentioned the flashlight but nit the button above it whats that for
Squench button
Hey brother could you tell me what the max distance is on this one?
About 1 mi I heard
I'm sorry if you already covered this in the video but lets say I bought a two pack for me and my brother and my friends bought a two pack will they work together?
Yes 👍
non ce il manuale duso dei walkie talkie boafeng 888s in italiano
Great video! Do you know if it can work with other devices like for example other brands like Midland G10
Ooohhh, now that is a question I can't answer, sorry
I actually got one theres 2 in one box and chargers too but no damn head set
super helpful cheers mate 👍
Thanks 👍🏻
I came for a radio review and found myself!
@@rosmond1841 Haha that's funny! What's up 🤙
Just orderd 2 of those!!!
It's a really good radio, you'll like them 😁👍
Hi, I'm in the UK ( North East) and just taken delivery of 2 of these. No ear pieces in box which is fine.
I have found one radio doesn't reduce in volume. The instructions state you tun the to know and press the "monitor button" at the same time. The button is the upper orange one ( above flashlight). I also find that the radios seem to male tat squelching noise for no reason intermittently...... any ideas, do I have faulty items do you think. Thanks
Sorry Paul, not had any issues with the set I got
I purchased 6 of these for the scan feature but they need to be programmed to use this feature. i have 3 security areas set up for my teams however i can not scan the other teams does anyone know how to activate or program this feature into the master radio
I just got a set of these for me and my people as well did you ever figure out the scan feature
M
Doesn’t the earxpeice hurt if you put it on for like 6 hours
It's not too bad as it more rests on the ear rather than sitting in the ear
Are there any licensing issues with these? I'm looking to use these for officiating football, but don't want to get a fine for interfering with anything.
Hi James, not that I know of buddy. Freely available on Amazon and Ebay without licence warnings
I have the same. It is a PMR446mhz. If you have that, then you don't need a licence. Ofcom would confirm this
Do they work with other 2 ways?
Squelch function is not working what to do plzzz help...
Squelch level needs to be determinated via software. It's set on level 3 by factory default.
How long would you say the range is?
city around mile clear sound, open area 3+ miles easy
yes they work ok up to one 1 km not 25 as they say
Is it good for construction sites?
I would have though it would work fine unless maybe if its a high-rise and you are going through lots of concrete and steel floors
CAN THESE BE USED IN A CASINO
How to use fm radio
I got four of this radio that we uses on our events and for our house... I got same videos too... God bless
why we cant connect with each other with my workmates? even we just 3kms. away we cant connect
You are supposed to be on the same channel as each other
What is the range
Difficult to give you a range as it is terrain dependant (hills/buildings etc). All I can say is I've use on beaches, around hotels and offices etc with no problems
There are 3 Companies that Sell the exact same stuff. Pofung Baofeng and Pxton
I am from the UK - Do you need a license for these radios
They are not legal due to them giving out more than .5 Watt, but nobody cares geni.us/RJKmBe
Hello is it silence with headphones? I need to use it in theatre so it need to be absolutly quiet. Is it?
Hi Matus, yes, no noise from the radio itself, just through the earpiece.....
Great thanks
Hi how are you doing and I got my walkie-talkies today and what does MONITOR BUTTON do that should make no sense to me
Here you go:
The monitor button is a squelch control. If you press it, it allows the FM noise to pass to the speaker. Its both a way to set volume, or if your at the extreme range might allow you to hear the other party. Also just a way to know the radio is working and that you have the volume loud enough to hear the other person.
Clough Reviews ok thank you so so much
You know a good walkie-talkie Because this one is Really rubbish it says it goes 3 miles but it doesn’t It only works in my back garden
I'm gonna create a radio brand called bae feung xiao xiao
WALKIE TALKIE 2023 🔊
@@dumitriuflorentina6137 damn It really has been two years
Have u
The £18 I paid for a pair is amazing value .
A mile range is truly viable .
The claimed10km range and 5w output is nonsense I measured the output at 2w which is still great for the price.
There not pro radios but for things like the front to rear 30 car convoy control communication I use them for they are brilliant.
I've ordered a Kenwood usb data cable for £3.50 to enable some changes to be made however I won't be using the program that's included as it's seems the free Chirp online app is more user friendly.
I also have found a pair of bottom loaded 12" whips for £2.20 which should increase the range by around 50%
increasing the range by 50% is exactly what i need. that's excellent.. I'm hoping for clear radio transmission and reception for about 2.5 miles or so.. 3 miles would be Ideal but i can deal with at least 2.5. miles as long as it's a reliable clear radio voice.. i use these for Bussiness applications as well as recreational
Where did you get them from for that cheap mate?
@@YungEb_ yes, please share links for aerials. want to make sure i can get 2klm outdoor range on these for when my kids go exploring
@@gunchief0811
LOL
these only goes as far as 3x USA city blocks,
maybe more with high gain longer antennas
Thanks lots for your good vedio
What is the top orange button for
It is the Monitor button. It helps you set the volume and may in some circumstances, help you hear someone that is almost out of range
@@CloughReviews ok thanks
How do u turn off the beep
Does it have a transmission beep
I can't unscrew these on the back on either, idk they thought they were holding a freaking airplane together I can't explain it
Question does the signal go by range or through a cell phone tower??
Range from the radio itself
It wouldn’t make sense for a cell phone tower...
With the sound off, how do you know which is 10 channel to turn voice back on? bad design in that regard Lol.
Just count the channels by the rotary switch. It also has the numbers marked around the base of the switch although they are indistinct.
What does the other orange button do?
It is the Monitor button. It helps you set the volume and may in some circumstances, help you hear someone that is almost out of range
@@CloughReviews thanks!
How you paire them ?i just get a pair now
how do u activate vox?
Plz explain vox
Is that a Omega speedmaster moonwatch???
Sharp eyes, Its a Seamaster Chronograph though 👍
@@CloughReviews Beautifull piece!
I love your Audio quality, what mic are you using???
On this video, probably nothing more than the phones Mic, a Samsung S8+. Great close up but not further away.
I've just started using a SmartMike+ (Bluetooth for ease of use) over the Lavalier Wireless type
@@CloughReviews that's cool, Thanks!
@@CloughReviews yes clear audio maigth !
Do you have to push the button every time you wanna talk just like any other walkie talkie?
You can use the Vox setting which makes it hands free operation
Good Video, do these radios have to be programmed or do they come pre programmed with the 16 channels?
Pre-programmed Doug
They are pre-programmed , but with illegal frequency's. You have to re-programm it with e.g. chirp.
I'm holding one right now lol
CAN WE LISTEN FM RADIO CHANNELS ON IT.
LIKE BAOFENG UV5R
Why all capital letters
Hi like the reviews im thinking of getting 3 of these radios but just wondering if i need a license to use them as some reviews on ebay say you need one ?
I'm led to believe that you need one, but that is your choice 😁👍
Same as pxton with a different lable
hey man I just purchased two of these and I was wondering how to activate the scan feature on channel 16 is there any way you could let me know I also have CB radios and I assume that these are on a different frequency and I cannot communicate with my home base CB correct????????
Nope
@@yawnguy94 how the hell do you get these things to scan I haven't been able to figure it out and I've had them almost 2 months
These radios are programmable but are UHF, working in the 70cm band at 440MHz. CB is down in the 11m band.
i have one
there is voice activated mic's and you change to PTT
very gud roger .keep doing it...
Do I need a license to use this walkie talkie radio
No, no license needed in the UK
It’s not as simple as that! These radios are not type-approved for use on PMR frequencies and if they were tested they would not meet the PMR regulations due to the output power being too high. Ofcom states that there are no frequencies in the UK that are licence-free, but equipment that is tested and conforms with the relevant regulations (e.g. PMR446 or MPT 1382 for CB radio) may be used on a licence exempt basis. These radios do require a licence and really should only be used by licensed businesses and radio amateurs on the frequencies allocated to them. Just because you can program them onto PMR frequencies does not mean they are legal to use there.
Whilst it is very unlikely that you will have an issue due to the number of them that are now in use, by using them without a licence you are committing an offence and could be prosecuted. Basically, it’s your risk.
People buy the radios and then program them to work on PMR frequencies in Europe, or FRS frequencies in US, as they are easy to get hold of, easy to program and cheaper than the ones that have gone through the approval testing process.
Yes, these are great radios they work really well. The licensing issue would probably be less confusing if the manufacturer made a version specifically for PMR like Retevis have done with the RT24. Same low price, good quality and fully approved.
Are these vox compatible
Yes, here are the instructions:
* VOX (Voice Operated Transmit)
VOX eliminates the need for using the PTT key to transmit. The transmitter is keyed when the VOX circuit senses you are speaking into the microphone.
1. When operating the VOX function, set the VOX Gain level to recognize the desired sound level.
2. If level is too sensitive, transceiver will key with noise in the background.
3. If level is not sensitive enough, it will not pick up your voice. Set level for smooth transmission.
4. On channel 1-5, Press and Hold the PTT and MONI buttons while switching ON the transceiver to turn the VOX ON or OFF.
Where did you buy them
Amazon geni.us/hmEQ
ty u really helped me to shut that girl
I'd doesn't need licence right?
Nope, no license.
@@CloughReviews In some countries licence needed.
does it come with two
Yep
Hi
Let's imagine a scenario where 6 people are using these radios. A mile apart. Will the person standing at 0 miles be able to contact the person 9.5 miles away? Anyone in between?
Roland Eriks Regular range is 2.4 miles or 4 km.
Terrible range
Do we need licence for this
Not in the Uk
Incorrect - they are not class licence approved so you need an amateur licence to use them
These need to be PMR446 compliant, which they are not, to be license free. Even if you reprogram the frequencies to 446Mhz it still won't be compliant as the power exceeds 0.5w and they don't have fixed aerials.
Hope this helps.
My husband's changed to a different language how can I tell him to get it back to English again
Turn to channel 15> turn off.hold PTT and squelch(middle orange button)> turn on. Back to english.
