Works with Baofeng BF-666s or BF-888?

Well Richard, what I can say is they work well with the BF-888s in fact I have 5 of them and got the tube ear pieces for it too. As for the BF-666 I don't have those however I did look up that radio and it looks like it will work. Keep In mind though I have the BF-888 and can tell you 100% they work.

I maintain around 40 of these radios. They seem to be good for that distance outside with minimal obstruction. But once you have them in a building or a car the range is reduced. I think you would have better performance with the Baofeng BF-A5 model. It has more than twice the output power of the BF-666. I have been able to find the BF-A5 for around $30 on Amazon and Ebay.

James,Yes, the Nagoya NA-771 works very well with the Baofeng BF-F9V2+. I have been able to pick up transmissions at distances exceeding 65 miles in the VHF band. I haven't established a firm transmit distance yet with this antenna, but it is good to at least 20 miles with favorable terrain.

There is no difference in the two as far as I know - they are just on different frequencies so if you owned two they wouldn't interfere with each other. I own the 27 MHz and it works great - and this is a good price.

If the antenna connection is a SMA type connector should work. Works well on my Baofeng dual band talkie.

It looks the same to me. I have the Baofeng and happy with them so far. Pretty good bang for the buck.

There is a MARS/CAP "extended transmit" mod documented for this radio. Google "FT-8800 Mars/Cap mod" for more information.

You will need to buy a cable to connect it to the computer(i used this one and the driver that was included, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R21P7Q/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) and the bf-480 software from baofeng's website (http://www.baofengradio.com/en/services.asp?BigClassName=Programming%20Software).

The BF-888S only works in UHF mode. The 400-470 MHz range. The UV-5REs work in UHF and VHF. My local cop channel is in the 155 MHz range, so the BF-888Ss wouldn't be able to pick up most of the transmissions that city, county, and state agencies use.

The cable can be made to work, but the chip (at least in the one I got) is counterfeit and will not work with the newest driver. The Baofeng software may have a copy of an older driver which will work. Alternatively, check with www.miklor.com for guidance and useful downloads. Also, the plastic on the plug where it goes into the radio may need to be trimmed to allow it to be inserted fully into the radio.

the baofeng bk=888s walkies must be programmed using widely avail. free software. however you needthe programming cable. it's the usb cable w/a dual type speakerphone plugs on the end. a large and a smallplug molded together. Dennis

I own two 888 radios and it seems to improve reception and transmission on both radios. Nice antennas for the price and they look like they came with the radios. Perfect fit and sturdy construction too.

One is (probably) 300 MHZ, and the other is 310MHZ. Match to the frequency on your receiver, although either will work.

Baofeng have a male SMA, and the antenna is a female SMA. So it will work. It also works on Puxing.

the Kenwood TH6-fa but need to remove clip. Not too crazy about the set up. Not sure about Baofeng.

know it fit the Baofeng UV-5R. Not sure about the BF-888S. However, if the description says SMA connector it should fit. Good luck.

My radio was delivered 9/9/13. Checked unit & says BF297. Only way to check if for firmware versions newer than 297 is with chirp software. Checked with chirp and is actually BF307
