| Jan 19, 2022 at 1:51 | comment | added | znaya | I kept trying all the configs and I just realized that I have success for a brief moment if I 1. Connect the radio to the cable and turn it on 2. Write the original factory frequencies with Chirp 3. Write the PMR446 frequencies with 888s v1.05 4. Unplug the radio WITHOUT turning it off. The green light will be on, there is no squelch problem and the radios seem to receive each other communication. As soon as I change channel or turn the radio off and on the radios won't communicate with each other anymore and the green light won't be lit. I was able to replicate this behaviour a couple times. | |
| Jan 19, 2022 at 1:51 | comment | added | znaya | I believe I have the same problem. Bought two BF888s radios, saved the original configuration with Chirp. Programmed it with the PMR 446 frequencies but the radios do not communicate with each other. Tried several programs and (tons of) configurations, I get quite often the squelch problem. One thing I noticed is that the green light is not lit after writing the PMR446 frequencies to the radio. | |
