Product Features

16 Programmable Channels

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

UHF 400–470 MHz Frequency Range

The BF-888S is a single-band UHF radio with a documented frequency range of 400–470 MHz. Radios intended to communicate with each other need compatible frequency and channel settings.

Up to 5W RF Output

The manufacturer’s specifications list RF output of less than or equal to 5W for the BF-888S. Actual output should therefore be understood according to the specific radio configuration and manufacturer’s specification rather than assuming constant 5W operation.

1500mAh Lithium-Ion Battery

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

CTCSS and DCS Support

The BF-888S supports CTCSS and DCS functions. The manufacturer’s product information specifies 50 CTCSS and 105 CDCSS codes.

VOX Function

The radio includes VOX, or voice-operated transmission. This function can be configured for voice-activated transmission where supported by the radio settings.

PC Programmable

The BF-888S can be programmed through compatible PC software, allowing radio channel and related settings to be configured.

Channel Scanning

A scanning function is provided for monitoring programmed channels according to the radio’s configuration.

Battery-Saving Function

The BF-888S includes a battery-saving function and a low-voltage alert. These are part of the radio’s documented power-management features.

Built-In Flashlight

The BF-888S has a built-in LED flashlight integrated into the handheld radio.

Communication Compatibility

For two BF-888S radios to communicate, their relevant channel and frequency settings need to be configured compatibly. The manufacturer’s manual specifically advises checking that the frequency and CTCSS tones are the same when radios cannot communicate. Communication range is not specified here as a fixed distance because it varies with the operating environment and other conditions.

For use in Kenya, customers should also ensure that the selected radio frequencies and operation comply with applicable communications requirements.
