Baofeng BF-888S reviews
Yandex.Market data
Advantages:
1. Channels are programmed from a computer (you can give them to children, workers, grandmother, without fear that the settings will be twisted) 2. Speech masker, ie. scrambler (in Russia it is forbidden to use it, the State Telecommunications Supervision Service does not sleep - it is better to turn it off) 3. Eats little and works a lot (3.7V 1500 mAh is enough for the entire work shift, this is enough for primitive electronics)
Disadvantages:
1. Fear of fear (at a price of $ 20, it is uncritical, but you don't go to the taiga anymore) 2. A native antenna, as they say, is "cut by censorship" (if necessary, you can buy it for cash in a radio store. so it will do) 3. IMPORTANT: Supplied pre-programmed for left frequencies (upon purchase - require the seller to reprogram to frequencies permitted in Russia: PMR / LPD. When ordering from China - purchase a USB cable for self-programming)

Advantages:
Affordable price, high quality for such an inexpensive radio station.
Disadvantages:
Many are counterfeited.
Comment:
I bought myself two of these radios for hunting. Very convenient, easy to use, charging enough for 1 full day. When buying, I encountered a problem, as I identified many fake baofeng radios on the market. It would seem that the Chinese radio station is no longer to be counterfeited, but I found out that baofeng is an official manufacturer of radio stations in China, a huge factory specializing in the production of inexpensive radio stations. But everything that is in demand in Russia is immediately forged at other left-wing factories for $ 5. and flood our markets. The main difference between branded baofeng 888S is the orange logo on the 1500mAh battery.

Advantages:
works great for reception / transmission.
Disadvantages:
very weak battery, enough for 18 hours of work. no car charging.
Comment:
an acceptable budget option for your money. the reception quality is excellent. I took a hackassia especially for the trip, in the convoy there were cars with Ashanov's radios. everything was heard on reception / transmission. an excellent walkie-talkie for your money, if anyone plans to use it for a long time, immediately buy a second battery. I'm going to order for 2800mAh, 1500mAh is included

Advantages:
Settings for 16 channels are registered through the cable, without a cable they cannot be reset accidentally - protection from the fool.
Disadvantages:
Voice acting in Chinese and English. The case is not sealed - it is better not to use it in rain The flashlight is weak.
Comment:
In the instance that I got, the scrambler was launched.

Advantages:
Low price and build quality
Disadvantages:
For such a price they are not!
Comment:
Excellent walkie-talkie. I bought for children, like toys, but they are far from being toys. It may be needed in different cases. Recommend!

Advantages:
I took a cheap one for thanks from Sberbank I paid only for delivery communication excellent for that kind of money assembly good clip strong battery lasted for 2 days well here how to use in general everything is good
Disadvantages:
The rubber gasket that covers the contacts to the microphone and headphones is not very tight, but it seems to be for everyone. R.S Well, there is no headset, well, I wanted too much.
Comment:
Fast delivery was written 1 week and came in 4 days.

Advantages:
An excellent budget option. I bought my son instead of children's walkie-talkies with batteries. 2 months of constant use - the flight is normal, in the central park you can leave and not get lost.
Disadvantages:
The back cover with the battery is somehow loose, it seems that it is falling apart.
Comment:
The lid is flimsy, but it holds up with dignity. Especially after childrens curious pens

Advantages:
Good quality and range at a ridiculous price. Batteries last a long time.
Disadvantages:
The outer shell of the antennas falls off
Comment:
I chose walkie-talkies for work in residential buildings. Expensive to buy was very sorry and in the end chose this model. I bought 3 pieces and distributed them to the workers. The range pleased me - from the basement up to the 13th floor it can penetrate. Of course, quality is lost, but still 13 floors of concrete is, you see, a lot. At the same time, the radios worked for three days and we put them on charge without waiting for them to die. (though it is worth noting that there was no need to chat constantly and the walkie-talkies were just in standby mode) I took the walkie-talkies to the street pokatushki of the auto club, there, without a doubt, they showed themselves 5+ (after all, an open space). There were also Vokstel walkie-talkies similar in price, but they only rustled like children's woks-tok. In general, I'm wildly satisfied with the purchase, I bought myself another baofeng more abruptly as a commander.
September 20, 2016, Kazan
Advantages:
The radio is normal at 3.5 km. Long battery life.
Disadvantages:
Works at prohibited frequencies, requires a flashing. Before using, read the law on permitted frequencies in Russia. For it is very easy to run into trouble. The amount of the fine will amount to 20 radios to buy.
Comment:
Reflash to 433-436MHz or 446-447MHz frequencies officially allowed for amateur radio.

Advantages:
Convenient ergonomic radie. Good catches and no interference
Disadvantages:
Didn't notice
Comment:
I bought it for children. For the place of children. Took 2 pieces. The price is the same as for children, but the quality and setting mode is higher. But you have to buy a programming cable, the price is 300 rubles. There is nothing complicated about it. I programmed them specifically so that no one would invade the children on the air with mats. Not who does not program the radio, how they bought it and use it. I exposed the civil and unique subtone frequencies.
