Baofeng BF 888S 41 km SIMPLEX (ENG titles)

This is FM simplex communication between two cheap Baofeng BF-888S radios. Other BF-888S is located in a apartment room on the ground floor of one 5-story building in the City of Shtip, about 41 km from my location. The sound is loud and clear! The BF-888S has about 1.5 watts on High Power, and about 0.6 watt on Low Power.

There is nothing sensational in this video for sure. This is clear to everyone, who has at least a little understanding of radio engineering. Despite this, there are many new (but also old) radio enthusiasts who claim that cheap Chinese radio stations do not have the power to make long distance radio communication and the distance can be up to 5 km in the best case.
Apart from them, there are also clever merchants of expensive radio-equipment who try to convince the young radio-enthusiasts that only the expensive transceivers are good, and the cheap ones are for noting.
With this video I want to assure the young amateur radio enthusiasts and beginners in our hobby, that they do not need big amount of money to become radio amateurs and that they can enter in our interesting and useful hobby with cheap radio equipment also.
This is exactly the video for such beginners, my friends.

For the experiment, I took of the output transistor of the Baofeng BF-888S, connect 1nF capacitor between base and collector on the PCB in the place of removed transistor and get 40 mW RF output power with driver stage only. With that RF power of only 40 mW, I could communicate via local repeater from many different places in the City in about 2 to 3 km radius from repeater! :-)

Ха ха браћо, мало претерасте са тих 41км 😂. Поздрав из Србије!

[@prakasanpc]

This is vu3 pwx from kozhikode..I have got 8 kms range here ...my house is close to a vast paddy field....73

[@anowarparvej3195]

False. I have tested 2 BF888S in my area which was maximum 11 KM. Another station was on the rooftop of 5th floor & I was on ground.

[@diversis9697]

maybe 4,1 km?

[@vlndnt374]

Poate da, nu exista 41 de km pentru 888s.

[@yerobemonzonlorenzo6029]

imposible 41 km

[@georgkustusch565]

Mit 3 Watt oder 0.7 Watt HF Power?

[@escorpio619]

if there's lot of buildings or structures it wont transmit voice so far, So this 41kilometers is possible for that kind of place like provinces, it depends on the surroundings

[@xenvy1817]

If there's buildings how many km would it work ?

[@Rylisa24]

​@@xenvy1817around 2 to 3 km

[@anowarparvej3195]

Clearly heared that, a hash sound is present in the end of every ptt you pressed. This sound from repeater we sure. May be it's called repeater tone back. Why are you lied?

[@dylanlockler1039]

maybe he just doesn't know what simplex means

[@antoniossfakiotakis5030]

Probably there is a repeater somewhere. Come on be serious man

[@khalidal-habsi1610]

I have one.. in open area 3km.. in close area between 500m to 1.5km

[@pedersteenberg2010]

IT is not possible to 41 km not possible !

[@joseantoniogumapac2640]

Right 5

[@marilecescobia391]

Repeater tailtone... Liar😂

[@dikmontakolyomso7094]

Brother your road go round from where you start otherwise 41km is not possible

[@animalsandbirds878]

i tested 600mt

[@MancevMK]

Миле, ги бива ли?

[@erdencuna4130]

Cujese repetitor kad spustis dugme
