Product Features

16 Programmable Channels

The BF-888S provides 16 memory channels for storing configured UHF frequencies. The channel settings can be configured using compatible PC programming software.

UHF 400–470 MHz Operation

The BF-888S operates within the 400–470 MHz UHF frequency range specified for the model. It is a single-band UHF radio rather than a dual-band radio.

RF Output of Less Than 5W

Baofeng’s current product specification lists the BF-888S output power as less than 5W, while its product comparison information describes the model as a 5W radio. For accuracy, this page uses the manufacturer’s detailed specification of less than 5W rather than claiming a constant 5W output.

1500mAh Lithium-Ion Battery

Each BF-888S uses a 1500mAh lithium-ion battery with a rated voltage of 3.7V. Baofeng lists approximately 8 hours of battery life, although actual operating time depends on how the radio is used.

CTCSS and DCS Functions

The BF-888S supports CTCSS and DCS functions. Baofeng specifies 50 CTCSS and 105 CDCSS codes for the model.

VOX Function

The radio includes VOX, or voice-operated transmission. This allows compatible voice-activated transmission settings to be configured on the radio.

PC Programmable

The BF-888S can be programmed through compatible PC software. This allows channel and other configurable radio parameters to be set using a computer.

Channel Scanning

The BF-888S includes a scanning function for monitoring programmed channels according to its configuration.

Battery-Saving Function

The radio includes a battery-saving function together with a low-voltage alert. These functions are part of the documented BF-888S feature set.

Built-In Flashlight

A built-in LED flashlight is included in the BF-888S.

Communication Compatibility

For BF-888S radios to communicate with each other, their relevant frequency and CTCSS settings need to be configured compatibly. Baofeng’s manual specifically recommends checking that the frequency and CTCSS tones are the same when radios cannot communicate. Communication distance can vary according to the environment and operating conditions, so a fixed communication range is not stated here as a product specification.

For use in Kenya, users should ensure that radio frequencies and operation comply with applicable communications requirements.
