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

I bought 10 pieces of these walkie-talkies, they worked fine for the first month, but then one after another began to have problems with the on / off switch , it turns on every minute on and off, making it difficult to use. The antenna is made of very poor material. I even bought a 3 year protection plan and spent the money. I contacted the protection plan and they said I had to contact the manufacturer for a replacement. I would not recommend this radio to anyone.

I've had it for about 9 months. Works perfectly. Made from a very brittle material that breaks easily. I have two radios that I keep with the battery connected. The toggle switch holding the battery on both radios broke. With both radios! I will find out about the guarantee soon! Let's see if they are behind the product. Update: Make sure you buy it from the manufacturer. Otherwise your warranty claim will be rejected. Personally I wouldn't buy this as ALL walkie talkies either broke on the…

These radios aren't terrible. They work well when they work. But just accept from the start that they are just a step above single-use products. Physically, they're pretty sturdy, but don't expect them to last long. I bought 6 about a year ago, haven't used them much, and one is already dead even when fully charged. Headphones are very fragile. You *think* you'll be gentle enough with them, but as soon as you catch one of them on your clothing, the incredibly thin wires will stretch and short…

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 My unit has a radio but has outdated wiring and equipment that is incompatible with some systems.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.

Installing outdoor emergency coordinators in my fleet of senior mobile homes, the radios were tested for distance and clarity, durability and battery life. 1. - At 1 mile all radios have excellent clarity and clear voice, noise begins to fade into the background at 2 miles but voice is legible. 2. I've dropped the entire radio from 4 feet multiple times and everything worked as planned. Third battery life when received was 4 days but could have been longer before deciding to charge if…

UPDATE: (3-12-2020) From CHIRP's Issues section, my issue may be related to using a cheap programming cable with a 3rd party driver. But so far the radio is working perfectly! The review is preliminary. The radios will be received today (March 6th) and this review will focus primarily on the effort involved in setting up a custom channel frequency and CTSS tone configuration. YMMV and all! Ordered on March 5 with promise of delivery "two days after receipt of delivery information". Actually…

I ordered these because I was fed up with the bullshit flooding the market when it comes to pre-programmed FRS/GMRS handhelds. As someone licensed on GMRS frequencies, I decided to test them on GMRS frequencies only. Each radio comes with 16 channels (selectable), small factory antenna, earpiece with built-in microphone, belt clip, wrist strap and battery. Firstly, DO NOT OPERATE THE RADIO UNTIL YOU HAVE PROGRAMMED IT! With pre-programmed frequencies you can interfere with local law enforcement
