Review on 10-Pack of BAOFENG BF-888S Two Way Radios with USB Programming Cable by Bill Russett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good permanent alternative to "toy " radios.

I have a pretty decent collection of radios, use them for work and hobbies. I ordered them for use in my company. They work pretty well and last longer than the cheap blister pack radios you buy at the store. They come ready to work together, or you can download free software that's pretty easy to use and program it yourself. If the clips or the antenna are damaged or the battery is empty, replacement parts are easy to find. We use about 6 hectares and in some buildings. You don't bother us much. You do not need a license when using frequencies reprogrammed on the FRS, but if you reprogram them do so for all other channels. Headsets are basic and we don't use them, but I have an extended microphone that I use and it works great. Plug-in chargers make installation easier and eliminate the hassle of changing batteries.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Some little things
