You shouldn't use the frequencies in the radio at all, none of them are legal and most are in commercial, business, medical, etc ranges. Get a programming cable and reprogram it with FRS/GMRS if you must.

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.

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.

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!!!
