User questions & answers

Question:	What is the transmit wattage on the GMRS channels. I know 50 is allowed but what do these transmit
Answer:	This particular one does not.
Question:	Can I purchase two sets of walkies and have all four communicate on the same band. Or is the set only good for two people and therefor won't let you
Answer:	It's not the mode (FM vs. AM) that determines the range, it's the frequency. These radios are in the 450-ish MHz range, while CB's are in the 27MHz range. The 27MHz frequencies are subject to propagation, etc. The range on a 888S is going to be a couple miles at most under ideal conditions. A CB's normal range is considerably greater, and when propagation is high, you can quite literally talk around the world on the CB. As was said in the other answer, FM is going to provide far superior clarity over AM.
Question:	How well does the NOAA weather alert work? I'm wondering if this product would work well to keep for our family's emergency supply kit
Answer:	Yes! SCANNINGScanning is used for hands off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. When the transceiver options are set to SCAN (via software), setting the channel selector to channel 16 directs the radio to scan the selected channels from 1-16. 1. Transceiver stops scanning when a signal is detected and continues when signal is gone.2. If there are less than 2 channels, it cannot scan. (Go figure)3. On channel 16, Press and Hold the PTT and MONI buttons while switching ON the transceiver to turn the Scanning ON or OFF.4. If FM Radio function is activated via software, the radio will not scan. Note: There is no actual FM Radio function in this radio, so this option should always remain deactivated in software.
Question:	Why does it say 30 mile range if it only reaches 3 to 4 blocks in city & open space is a couple miles? Seems like dishonest advertising
Answer:	Did you program the radio yet? I just two of these and the same thing happened to but until I uploaded new frequencies following the instructions at http://www.miklor.com/BF888/

User questions & answers

Question:	How tall is the radio without anteena
Answer:	About 5"
Question:	what does the set contain
Answer:	(2) FSR Walkie-talkies (1) Y shaped (wall-> 2 micro USB) charging call (2) Rechargeable Batteries (2) Belt Clips (2) Single ear earbuds with PTT mic (1) Carry case (1) User Manual (EN/FR) (1) Accessory Sheet (EN/FR)
Question:	how many watts are the radios
Answer:	2 watts gmrs. 0.5 watts frs. reference: https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=2559372
Question:	Can someone tell me what the real, actual approximate range is on these
Answer:	There are certainly many different choices available to folks regarding radio choices. Many consumers, however, fall into the trap of believing the misleading advertising that various manufacturer’s use to help sell their products, especially when they are in panic mode due to a natural disaster (like an earthquake) or (currently) various lock-down scenarios due to the latest overseas virus. One frequently used example of this buying trap are the claims of 35 to 50 mile range from 1/2 watt UHF FRS/GMRS handheld radios with non-removable antennas (frequently seen on various Cobra, Midland, Motorola, and Uniden radios sold at various big box stores or on the internet). At UHF frequencies (and with a decent antenna), you’ll normally get around 1 mile of range for every 1 watt of power on transmit, so a 1/2 watt big box store FRS/GMRS radio is likely to get only 1/2 mile of range, nowhere near the 35 to 50 mile claims shown on the box in large type (with the phrase “under optimum conditions” shown in very small type). What that means is that if one individual is standing near the cliff face on a tall 9,000 ft. high mountain and his friend is doing the same thing 35 miles away (with nothing between the two mountains but air), then they “may” get the 35 mile range as advertised. When both individuals are at ground level, normal range is reduced to a 1/2 mile (or less) depending upon obstructions that may be in their way.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you also use AA batteries to power these radios
Answer:	Yes you can, however the output power will drop drastically (form 5 to I think about 2W) with no indication on the display - it would still show “H” for High power. With the included battery pack though (which is essentially 5 1.2 NiMH AAA batteries in series) it achieves 5W transmit power. Which means if you buy it because of 5W output you must use battery pack. However battery pack does not last long. It is only 700mAh. Radio consumes 42mA on standby. So about 16 hours standby time if you don’t transmit. Charding time on the other hand is 12 hours. Make your own conclusions.
Question:	what is the best REAL range I can expect
Answer:	There are certainly many different choices available to folks regarding radio choices. Many consumers, however, fall into the trap of believing the misleading advertising that various manufacturer’s use to help sell their products, especially when they are in panic mode due to a natural disaster (like an earthquake) or (currently) various lock-down scenarios due to the latest overseas virus. One frequently used example of this buying trap are the claims of 35 to 50 mile range from 1/2 watt UHF FRS/GMRS handheld radios with non-removable antennas (frequently seen on various Cobra, Midland, Motorola, and Uniden radios sold at various big box stores or on the internet). At UHF frequencies (and with a decent antenna), you’ll normally get around 1 mile of range for every 1 watt of power on transmit, so a 1/2 watt big box store FRS/GMRS radio is likely to get only 1/2 mile of range, nowhere near the 35 to 50 mile claims shown on the box in large type (with the phrase “under optimum conditions” shown in very small type). What that means is that if one individual is standing near the cliff face on a tall 9,000 ft. high mountain and his friend is doing the same thing 35 miles away (with nothing between the two mountains but air), then they “may” get the 35 mile range as advertised. When both individuals are at ground level, normal range is reduced to a 1/2 mile (or less) depending upon obstructions that may be in their way.
Question:	How much range can I expect from these radios in rugged, mountainous and forested terrain
Answer:	Expect
Question:	do I need a gmrs license
Answer:	I called the FCC. If the radio goes beyond 2 watts, even if you are only using the lower-power channels, you still need to spend the $70 for the 10 year license. immediate family can use radios with your license (and you on the channel). GMRS will make for a better experience. I would just get it to be safe.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this model T460 come with earbuds, or can they be purchased searately
Answer:	We offer a T460 4-pk bundle that includes PTT earpieces. Search ASIN B07CJ2GN8B in Amazon search to locate.
Question:	we bought these but only the two together in each pack connect. How do I get them all to connect
Answer:	Hello, make sure all Radios are on the same channels. There's a main channel number (larger number) and a smaller number under the the larger number. I use (15 main larger number center of the radio, and 7 smaller number, under the 15)
Question:	Are these radios compatible with the Motorola 1410 radios we currently have
Answer:	They would not be compatible. The T460 works on FRS/GMRS frequencies and the CLS1410 works on UHF frequencies. To be able to communicate with the 1410, you would need other 1410 radios or another UHF radio that is programmed to your current frequencies. Two-Way City, LLC
Question:	Are these digital radios
Answer:	This is the worst Motorola product I've ever bought....3 months in and they all started having trouble...battery wouldn't recharge, interference from other radios, broken clips...not what I expected.

User questions & answers

Question:	I can only hit two where I live. Is the extra 3 watts going to gain any range
Answer:	ANTENNA ANTENNA ANTENNA The extra watts will do less to improve transmission and reception than a quality antenna. As others have said, to increase your signal strength at the receiving radio by one S unit you have to quadruple the power output. The difference between the UV-5R standard radio and the "8 watt" "high power" radios is only a doubling of power. If you are on the move use the Nagoya 771 antenna (and watch you don't poke out your eye). If you are stationary, a homebrew 2 meter dipole or the Ed Fong antenna will significantly improve your transmission and reception. Amateur Extra HAM instructor VP local HAM club
Question:	what kind of range can I expect
Answer:	With the included antenna, you will get about 10 kilometers on open area land. About 5 kilometers in suburban settings. In urban settings, aabout a kilometer or two. In a boat, a bit further than 10kilometers. With the Nagoya extended antenna, you can make 20 kilometers, more or less, on open ground. However, use an external antenna on the roof of a building and you can double that range! Power does increase range. But, antenna increases range far more than more power.
Question:	I am trying to receive frequencies in the 800mhz range but it will not allow me to enter
Answer:	You can program these for whatever frequencies you want by downloading CHIRP and modifying the radio drivers with a text editor... Then just change the frequency range to 900mhz or whatever you want... I would not suggest trying to transmit at those frequencies but people have had some success with receiving frequencies out of band that way... You may also want to try an RF downconverter if you would rather go the hardware way instead of the software way... More info at http://www.brickolore.com/2012/05/baofeng-uv-5r-extreme-receive.html
Question:	Which frequencies will I be required to become licensed for? How do I know which repeaters I might use and their associated membership fees? Thank you
Answer:	You cannot use this radio in any unlicensed frequency. It is not type accepted for any radio service and is therefore illegal to sell, advertise, market, or ship to anywhere in the US. It is probably legal to use in a Ham band if you have a ham license. Ham licenses come with some great benefits, such as being able to use un-aproved radios, it is well worth the effort to get one. BTW, I have two of these radios. They work about as well as a UV-5R, of which they are a derivative They just over-powered a 5 watt radio to make it spit out 8 watts. It gets you VERY little extra distance and the transmission is really really dirty. It blows all over the 2 meter bands. If you want to see what the FCC does to out of service marketing Google "FCC DA-18-980A1". This radio has no legal use in the US except on the ham bands by hams. It is very illegal to use for MURS and FRS, and not even OK for FMRS. It transmits so dirty it is pretty obvious to anyone with a good HR rig with a display or an FCC truck that you are using a BF-F8HP. It's got a rather unique signal signature. If you want a Baofeng get one of these. They are all certified part 90 which makes them legal to sell and ship, and no questions about using them for Ham use. And get a ham license, it really opens up your options.
