Review on Baofeng BF-888S Radio by Mei Liana ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are pluses and minuses, think before you buy.

Simple station. The maximum budget, in the region of $ 10, it would be extremely wrong to want something from it. Many take for work, but the miser pays twice and it is better to take more reliable models. For yourself, if you take it, then it’s the most, it’s not a pity to lose or break it. As an option, a spare walkie-talkie for giving to friends on outdoor activities. All the manners of the professional series are outwardly, of course, only outwardly. Ordinary channel station. You will need a programming cable and software. Fortunately, all these 888, 777, 666, etc. Stations under different brands are quite similar. Sometimes it's the same inside. And the maximum difference is the competition of savings on details. You can’t talk about the SWR of the antenna, like the vast majority of Chinese budget soap dishes, it probably depends on the phase of the moon.

Pros
  • Price, relative ease of development.
Cons
  • Quality of reception and transmission. The quality of case materials and battery capacity fluctuate from batch to batch. On average, a C grade with a big stretch. There is no moisture-dust protection, but they do not promise either.
