Provides This Complementary Information
The exceptionally economical Chinese market miracle of the Baofeng BF-888 is a great bargain for 2 meters, but with the following modification puts this HT into the unbelievable category of a three band HT needing only proper resonant antenna consideration to accommodate this broad band modification.
If you have a Baofeng BF-888 use Chirp radio programing software to load the associated Baofeng BF-888 Modification file to the Baofeng BF-888. Once the below file is uploaded you can change the frequencies on the Baofeng BF-888 to the frequencies what you want. It only takes the VHF on the first 8 channels and UHF on the last 8 But I have channel 16 set up to be a scan mode
Load it to the radio first, this will open the chipset in the radio and let you reprogram with the frequencies you want. Just remember, channel 1-8 will work VHF only and 7-15 will work UHF and it makes channel 16 become a scan (so when on channel 16 it will scan all the channels )
Baofeng BF-888 Modification File Download has to be open with chirp radio software
Will provide further updates for other modification to the Baofeng as soon as the current order arrives for modifications. VE1KLR
