Review on BAOFENG BF-888S Two Way Radio 6pcs Pack - Customize Package for Seamless Communication by Quinton Wonsley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

These little radios rule!

I bought these radios because they were cheap. They were used by my team leaders on military maneuvers at Fort Hood. My unit has a radio but has outdated wiring and equipment that is incompatible with some systems. So that gave us a chance to walk around and chat with all the cops. I was not disappointed. These radios held a two-day charge for continuous use compared to Motorola's 6 hours. In addition, they were light and weather-friendly. dropped them a few times and these little guys held up. The flight range was about two miles over terrain. Line of sight was further, but I couldn't tell how far past two miles. a few lost, but it didn't matter because they aren't considered sensitive items. I will order more. By the way, do not wet them with salt water. this corrodes the contact for the charging ports.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
