Useless yan sa maraming kabahayan, yung ganyan ko tinago ko nalang 50 meters wala na or napaka delay na dumating ng voice mo

[@kentankt]

Probably the review all users looking for. The distance test. Appreciate!

[@erickjmedina]

Any time 😀

[@willemlombard04]

YES

[@davidromero3780]

Good job on the review, like how you revived it, that's what I'm talking about......I just bought 2 and I'm going to buy 2 more, I work in a wharehouse and I really need them, good job guys.

[@erickjmedina]

Thanks man Useful device yes

[@DeriuzM]

thanks for the review. we're using the same 888s sa subdivision, what we did is we replaced the antenna ng Nagoya UT-106 SMA-Female at tinaas namin, ayun lumakas ang rx and tx. sa mga guard house namin kinabit, low budget comm namin sa HOA pero it works and helps. the higher the antenna the better.

Best review I’ve seen on the Baofeng BF-888s

[@papayaspice1155]

Love the distance test, thank you for this awesome review!

[@niyistark85]

Perfect review/test for this walkies. Looking to buy a set of about 10-12 pieces specifically for video production purposes. It fits into my budget and this the only aspect I'm looking to get a clarification on. We'll most probably never use beyond 300-500 metres max in 99% of our usage case. So this should work perfectly for us. Thanks for this review, absolutely helpful.

[@ikhwandanish2571]

great video! helpful & useful. thanks for the review sir! probably the only video that test the distance range👍🏻

[@gergemall]

Thank you

[@naturepark4684]

So far.. this is the best range test for 888s, thank you for the video....

[@macoialvarez6141]

congrats erick. I've got shocked when I saw your video while searching for feedback on this WT product. It's very informative. Nice👊 Good job childhood friend. I miss those days were dancing wayback highschool days. Kudos to you bro and Godbless☝️😊

[@TheChoyBooth]

Very helpful sir! Thank you so much for this review. May I know the links where you bought the radio itself and the "cute" antenna? :)

[@erickjmedina]

Hi sir, bali itype lang yang unit name sa mga platforms like Shopee or Lazada, tpos add lang ng small antenna, i think lalabas na sya Yang radio from Thailand, pero available naman ata kahit saang bansa

[@capitancodigo2165]

Great video thanks for making this. two comments on this test: - The horizon it's only 4km away at sea level. the radiosignals (EM waves travel in straight line) therefore you won't be able to communicate with someone further away or even a small building or woods can make this distance even shorter. - If you want to try the power (radius) of the signal of your radio I would recommend going on a hill or the rooftop of a building and then try to communicate with someone 4 or 5 km away but having direct visual contact, even if you don't see the person clearly, make sure there is nothing blocking the line. and then you would probably have a larger range. I have used cheap walkie talkies at way more than 5km but talking from a hill to another hill.

[@capitancodigo2165]

by the way this is a nice way of proving the earth is not flat.

[@erickjmedina]

Wow! That’s a technical way to put it. I have little idea of things you mentioned, so I greatly appreciate it. ☺️👍

[@wiper258yt]

You did a good test review, very helpful. I suggest you should use the radio outside the car, to achieve a longer range signal it must be in a plain area with no obstacles as well as the person you're calling.

[@erickjmedina]

Hi! Thanks! I tried it in 2 moving cars. It's actually better and satisfactory. I just didn't record it for some reason haha

[@marcphillips1020]

From what I gather, a good antenna upgrade to these radios is the Nagoya NA-771G. 15.3" long.

[@SaadSarfrazSheikh]

How much of an increase do we get?

[@meowzic]

Good review, thanks

[@erickjmedina]

Any time 😊

[@zulmm8123]

can you recommend me which antenna i can buy to increase the range? i also use this walkie-talkie

[@ronaldedilbertoona1146]

If you replace the stock antenna with Nagoya flexible antenna, you will have longer range.

[@muhammadanees6247]

Great review

[@dreadfacs]

is this approved by fcc or anyother organisation for daily use as far as the radiofrequency radiation , is it within limits or not ?

[@shasashu]

Good testing. Thanks

[@OKBAOK]

For car to car 2 km is not bad. For camping u should get more range. Those radios are just 1 to 2 watts. Every 1 watt is one mile in a straight line of site. Upgrading a little longer antenna will give u more range. 👋👍🙂

[@MultiYakuza86]

Can use while driving? Its it clear?

[@erickjmedina]

Yess, it’s clear. If you go beyond 1.5 kilometers, there’s a bit of static sound, but words are still understandable

[@shashankgaikwad1970]

Thanks for such precise demonstration 🙏

[@erickjmedina]

Anytime ☺️😌

[@tinjastv]

im just wondering if i could use these as a backup communication when riding our motorcycle?, we do have our intercomms but using mobile data connected to our phone, but i think this will be useful incase of sudden emergencies like giving quick messages, incase our mobile wont work, with a distance of 500 meters to 2 kms, that would suffice already

[@erickjmedina]

Yes, very useful alternative. We use 888s for cars. I'm sure you'll find it useful for motorcycles too. I'm just worried if it's audible if you are not using the earpiece. However, connection wise - will do the job

[@tinjastv]

@erickjmedina nice, i was thinking that we only use the baofeng as a sort of a backup communication in case our main intercoms doesnt work, yeah i also worry about having loud noises or the environment and while riding our motorbikes, i guess i have to find it out for my own, will buy and test it out myself, thank you

[@wilmerhernandez1180]

Thank you. 👍

[@mehdieskandari4406]

ty bro , this if helpful for me

[@jehandanish]

Good job and good info..tq

[@1Martyn1]

th noise she was getting wa weak squelch. they normally pre-programmed set at 3 squelch. you can jump it up to Squelch 9, and you. you can even purchase a a different antenna that is tuned for longer distance. The vehicle is curing signal. try standing outside the car and you should be able to hear them

[@justinanueco1884]

This Baofeng BF88S maximum Frequency reach from 1 to 2 km but if program to a long range repeater 2 way radio it is possibly to reach about 4 to 5 km depending on the area

[@SaadSarfrazSheikh]

How do you do that?

[@justinanueco1884]

@@SaadSarfrazSheikh sir program your baofeng BF88S the frequency of your repeater radio tru your 🖥️ computer

[@welmardinopol2619]

Sir good day. Is it possible for like 10 of it on the same frequency?

I believe so po.. though i have no way to try ☺️

Thanks thanks, appreciate your comment! ☺️

[@yukiigaming78]

How to connect the two radio?

[@erickjmedina]

You can connect them given that they can connect within their frequency rates. I'm sure there are some tutorials available - all the best! 🤗

[@victoriabilbao5799]

Sir good evening..pwede po ba malaman ang frequency na nakasave sa chanel 3 ng ganyang radyo po?

[@erickjmedina]

Hi po, nabenta ko na kasi yung radio ko sa Thailand bago kami nag move to another country. Ndi ko na po maretrieve, ang radio ko dito now ay Baofeng bf88e naman baka iba ang frequency details nya pero isend ko po maya pag check ko sa bahay

[@timevisual1323]

Well, did you programmed it to High range by software?

[@the_last_speedster]

How?

[@deadproxerator1225]

2KM range... Not 5 but. still impresive

[@ancientruth5298]

His imlnside car it's for 3 km

[@fubukisfriend1877]

i would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to leave a link as to where you bought this model because im afraid to be scammed online lol, your respond would be much appreciated !

[@erickjmedina]

Hi! Apology, i couldnt find it anymore, it’s been a year since i bought it.. See the people’s reviews of the page or product provider prior to buying, so you wont be scammed. Hope you get a pair soon! 😀

[@princetv0110]

Nice review 👌

[@erickjmedina]

Thanks Bowtt hahah

[@analie4177]

Still impressive for the price.

[@erickjmedina]

Yes yes

[@multazimpathan6311]

whats the battery backup in minutes/ hrs sir?

[@erickjmedina]

Hi! I don’t understand the question sorry. Battery backup of the radio, right? I don’t see any info about that

[@T-Burgaz078]

He's asking how long the Radio lasts on one charge ​@@erickjmedina

[@chaileeportraits]

2 kilo metres isn't bad but it would be nice if it could at least do 4 kilometres so that we could cover distances below 4 kilometres

[@trevoraldrinmatanjun8624]

If use CTCSS maybe increase range of Walkie-talkie.

[@nats50]

You lose range when inside the car. The 5 kilometer or more range is possible at sea. With the right or longer antenna and elevation, tens of kilometers is achievable.

[@erickjmedina]

Oh. Thanks for the info! 😀👍🙏🏼

[@ancientruth5298]

In Saudi it's 45km in the desert

[@OKBAOK]

[@texasman45]

Thanks for the range test man I actually found one of these radios in my closet n not sure where it came from so doin research to see if it’s even a good radio or not. Just one thing though. Why wear a mask especially outside? It makes you a bit muffled

[@erickjmedina]

Hi! Good for you finding useful toys hehe Mask - the time we took this video, the school where I was had a policy, and i don’t want some people to call me out for not following it (that time) 😀☺️

UHF. 400-470 mhz. 16 channels

[@ronlacano1563]

Need paba ng license para gumamit ng walkie talkie na tulad nian ?

[@erickjmedina]

tingin ko dipende po sa policy ng bansa, dito po sa Thailand parang lauran lang naman yan. Sa atin ata may unit na allowed mag possess ang tao tpos may unit din na bawal natin gamitin

[@sachabinky2915]

those power lines will cause interference and reduce your range

Paki check po video for the exact distance nkalimutan ko po, basta mga less than 4km or less than 3km naabot sa naalala ko

[@renzoubulotano5276]

May nagsasabi po kasi na bawal gumamit ng walkie talkie and need kumuha ng licence sa ntc

[@erickjmedina]

Ayy ganon po ba, sa Pinas po ba ganyan, sa Thailand po ko nakatira. Ganto po gawin nyo siguro, hanapan nyo yung authority na nagsasabi nyan kung may written policy naba tunkol jan. Kung meron for sure naka specify din jaan kung ano lang yung allowed na radio devices units ang pwede.. baka may safety concerns sila, kasi nasasagap dn ng walkie talkie ang signal ng mga security personnel kung minsan. Maririnig usapan. Wireless marites haha

[@jerrylaceste6646]

Open frequency sya unless kng gagamit ka ng repeater yun ang bawal.

are these MURS? FRS?

They can be programmed for any frequency between 400-470 mhz. FRS is in that range but you could use GMRS or even ham bands if you wanted.
