Download Chirp Baofeng 888s ((FULL))

I couldn't find the BF888s on the CHIRP list when trying to program my new radios. I tried the 2 choices that were on the Baofeng pull-down menu but neiter worked. I am willing to loan my radio if needed to engineer the program. I have 12 that I need to get into service but the program that came with the cable didn't work either.

Just received 6 Baofeng BF-888s -- I am using the most recent Chirp update of 20160201. Four of the 6 program both the Memories and the Settings changes with no problem. Two of the radios only load changes to Memories but not to Settings. The error code reads "Failed to send block to radio at 02b0. I had turned off (unchecked the boxes for) 'Voice prompt' and 'Scan'. I find that if I turn off 'Voice prompt' only then no error is reported and the change is made in the radio. I then attempted to turn off 'Scan' and the same error code appeared and the 'Scan' box still shows checked when the radio is read again. I then tried to re-enable 'Voice prompt' but now the "Failed to send ..." message appears once again. I have not discovered any way to turn the voice prompt back on. There is no difference detectable between the ID stickers found on the back of the radios (with batteries removed)- both have round red stickers with a white letter 'K'.

I have just had the same problem with 4 new BF-888s bought yesterday.

Chirp says Radio 'refused to enter programming mode'

Plug in an older BF-888s and it works fine so not a cable issue etc.

Had to use the Baofeng BF-480 programme which reads and writes to the radios OK.

I used the BF-480 software to read the config from a radio which was programmed correctly and then cloned this to the 4 new radios.

I am getting the exact same issue with recently purchased BF-888s radios. Works fine with the official software on windows, but no go on Mac with latest chirp daily from 23/11/2016. I have tried the attached module but still nothing.

now comes one fun fact: during trying to get serialmon to work, I had to start it with admin rights. then I startet chirp also with admin rights. THis one time I could read the radio. But I could not repeat that .. dont know wtf...

Apparently the older BF-888s radios were tolerant to whatever the device driver does to be incompatible with the counterfeit chip. Apparently the newer BF-888s radios are no longer tolerant (the same as nearly every other radio has always been).

What Windows users must do is download, install and select the older Prolific v3.2.0.0 driver for Vista, 7, 8 and 10 (v2.0.2.1 for XP) that was available before the drivers were change to not cooperate with counterfeit Prolific chips. The v3.2.0.0 driver is the one I use in Windows 7 64-bit computer that I use for CHIRP development and my Windows 10 virtual machine (and why both Mark's new BF-888s radio and my older radio work fine).

Additionally, the same cable does program the 888s devices with the OEM software on Miklor's page. Using the BF-888s software gives me the error some have experienced where it only programs the first half of the channels but it does communicate with the 888s - and using the ZT-V68 software all channels program properly - so it doesn't appear it's a limitation of the cable being able to communicate with the 888s.

I'm trying to program my two BF-888s with a (fake) Prolific Baofeng-branded programming cable with old drivers. It works for my Kenwood TH-F6 and Baofeng UV-5R, no problems. It's just with the 888s where it has this problem.

I also am having an issue with the BF-888s recently purchased that CHIRP sends back and error "Radio refused to enter programming mode" I have tried all of the additional items including making sure that the cable is legitimate and rolling back the drivers and making sure the CHIRP sw is up to date none of the above is working. The BF-888s software reads the radio but is extremely difficult to use. Any assistance or suggestions would be helpful.

After many trials and errors I have had success programming the BF-888s units with the ZT-V68 software while not my preferred method of programming it is successfully reading and writing to the radios. (Side note the Baofeng BF-888 software bricked 2 of my units in the testing process)

I had the same problem with my new baofeng 888s, I use ch430 chip based cable.

I am not sure if this problem is due to radio or cable issue, but when I added time.sleep(0.1) between sending block and reading ACK it has started working.

Since I just ran into this issue as well with a new BF888s set, trying to program similarly to my other set I wanted to comment. I have two cables, one Baofeng branded, one not. I'm not certain which chips they have but they may both be FTDI.

Just to confirm, the 02 Jan 2019 build of chirp does not have the "Radio refused to enter programming mode" error but later versions do? If there wasn't a major rewrite of the code in the last year it should be fairly easy to track down.

Of course you will need a computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) and the best free BaoFeng programming software is CHIRP which can program the BaoFeng BF-888S as well as many other radios. The BaoFeng bf-888s programming software free download can be found on the CHIRP website.

From this screen you want to click on the chirp-daily-xxxxxxxx-installer.exe link (where xxxxxxxx is the date of the file) which will start the download. Once the download is complete you might see the following screen from Windows:

Here is where we need to use that information I told you that you would need in a second, the COM port number. I have set mine to COM3 and if you look up a couple images you will see that it matches what was shown in the device manager. Once you have the port set, set the Vendor box and Model box to what is shown in the image above and click OK. You should now see the following screen showing the default BaoFeng bf-888s frequency chart:

What would be the best Baofeng to be used on PMR 446? Is that any model better than the 888s, for that purpose? Does it make sense to buy something more expensive? I want to use it for mostly hiking, skying etc.

Thanks.

did some poking at chirp tonight on my netbook (linux), but none of the images on that one have tones set, so i'm looking at the possibilities from chirp's memory editor columns page. (great reference to keep around; ).

from what you describe, the "tone mode" column setting will have it transmit a tone, but not expect one on receive (which means it hears everything, whether or not the incoming signal has a tone); this is why you can hear the other radio, and also why chirp isn't wanting to change the Tsql column (because it isn't actually using that setting, or either of the DCS settings). if you want to set the tone for both tx and rx, you want the tone mode set to "TSQL", and set the correct tone on the TSQL column.

We're trying to ease over to Baofengs where I work, go over to MURS, and I've been trying to get the BF888s to work with the GXT1000s but all I've got is the Midland RECEIVES from the Baofeng, but it cannot transmit to the Baofeng, the green light comes on, but no sound. Now when I hold the monitor buttons on the Baofeng I can hear the transmission just fine, so I'm not sure what's up. e24fc04721
