BF888S_default_01012019.csv

Hi there I need 16 channels for my baofeng 888s does anyone know any free channel I could use

Hi can you help me. I want to know the frequencies of TYT-T5 model. Plz help.

hi. can you help me to match uv5re to bf888s channel 7. pls help.

hey can anyone help me,I am having problems programming my 888s plus?

Does anybody have a "virgin" radio to download the frequencies with Chirp and put here the file? I already chaged mine so many times and forgot to create a backup from the original configuration

I just purchased 6 of these off Amazon last week. Here is the "virgin" configuration from a .csv: (looks like it matches what others have)

Hi, i have spent a few hours with the information above and have managed to get my Baofeng GT-3TP working with my BF-888S's (New gen).

Here is a .img file exported from Chirp with the correct Frequencies..

Thanks to Giuseppebangi for the original information

Need help finding the frequency charts for the galwad 888s radios.

I am trying to use my Amcrest ATR22 400-470 MHZ with Baofeng BF-888S, but it does not work. can you help me by telling me if there is anything I can do to work

Hey Guys,
I purchased some home walkies a while ago (Baofeng BF888S). We only go them so I could call inside while I was working outside or if I was up in the attic and needed my wife to grab me a tool. Basically just toying around the house and property. I recently got a pair of Baofeng UV-5R radios. I didn't, and still don't, know anything about what I bought (HAM radio vs "bubble pack" radios). I found a lot of info the past couple of days and literally just pulled these off my BF888s and loaded them on the UV-5R. Much to my surprise channels 1 & 2 worked, but 3 got all fuzzy. Luckily I only need channels 1 & 2 for home use. I did come across some info though, as a friendly word of caution. The HAM radios should not be used for FRS communications. Apparently it is an FCC violation, but I also found since they are usually not monitored being a family use device. Just throwing that out there. Here is what I pulled off my BF888s radio. I also included the links to the radios I have.

crmckay, Can you do an export and post a link to the chirp export .img file on google drive or something?

Ch 16 469.950 CHIRP CTCSS <--- 2019 von

Nothing changed to Ch 16 ?!

I can confirm that at least channel one works. I can't verify the others.

The latest "default" channels programmed into the BF8888 was provided by @crmckay. I have updated the gist with his contribution, and also into a CSV so anyone can import this using Chirp.

If all your radios (BF8888 or/and UV-5R) is programmed with the same channels, they should pick each other up.

Thank you all for participating in the comments.

I can verify that these work and they do in fact allow a Baofeng UV-5R talk to any BF-888(S) handset.

Anyone have channels for BF777s ?

Hi there you can also buy a frequency portable counter - scanner with a digital screen so whenever ypu press PTT button it shows you the frequency of each channel with CTCSS / DCS Decode so you can Programm or change through Chirp programm!!!

Is BFV8 same for this? Can anyone help me to connect my UV5R to a BFV8 Channel 16?

Alright, my team and I use these everyday at work. They're, ok if you ask my opinion. I have difficulties hearing sometimes. Well I was given a UNIDEN SX409-3CKEM when my 888S came up missing. My issue is, how can I hear my coworkers on their 888S's on my UNIDEN? Please help and excuses my lack of techno-wizardry skills.

I just got brand new BF-888S's and a brand new UV-9R plus and can confirm that these work in getting the BF-888S's to speak to the UV-9R plus. Thanks a lot for this :)

At least channel 16 data here works in UV-5R both tx/rx , so a big thank you. After setting frequency, I just had to set T-CTCS for ToneSql value, and left the rest settings as they are. Other channels yet to test.

Hi, everybody.
I'm a little late... (grin) but maybe this is useful for someone...
I just saved the preset frequencies of the Baofeng BF-888s, using CHIRP, then copied each channel, from 1 to 16, to the channels 101 to 116 in my UV-5R. It's working perfectly.

I extracted these from the Baofeng BF-888S radio sets in my country (PK). Programmed these settings in my UV-82HP and it works perfectly on all 16 channels

Thanks for this

Let me start by saying, “Yes” I have read this and other posts. It is not my intent to violate the FCC’s laws/rules. But, being an analytical type of person, I need to know the “Why”.
I have a few Baofeng BF8888s. I used the latest version of CHIRP Next to pull the channel list off the 888s.

I have a Baofeng GT-5TP. I learned you can program the GT-5TP using CHIRP by setting the type of radio to UV-82HP. I have been able to pull the programming table off and reload it. No problem

I loaded the 888s frequencies onto my GT-5TP. Again, I trying to figure out the “WHY”.
I can hear some of the channels on the GT-5TP when I transmit on my 888, but not all of them. WHY? Also, I can’t hear anything on my 888 if I transmit from the GT-5TP. It is as if it is not transmitting at all. When I push the PPT button I don’t get the orange transmitting light. Did I miss a configuration somewhere? Or is the GT-5TP built so that it cannot transmit on FRS/GMRA channels to be compliant with the FCC rules? Again, I do not intend to use the GT-5TP unlawfully. This is purely academic. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello there. After checking the GT-5TP specs it says "Frequency Range: VHF 144-148MHz (TX/RX); UHF: 420-450MHz(TX/RX)".
Could this be purely a hardware issue on the GT-5TP side of things? None of the 888s listed frequencies are within the 420-450 range.

I finally figured it out. The GT-5TP sold in the USA has a software block. The only way to use the above-listed frequencies is to jailbreak the phone back to default. So, in theory, if you revert to the original default you can transmit on the above-listed channels.
