Baofeng Baofeng bf-888s nothing works

[yit5yoit]

I have tried programming two baofeng 888s but they just dont work it only receives something when side button is press and it receives nothing (not white noise)
i tried copying from working one but it only works if you transmit from working one and pressing the side button on not working one

Perhaps it's just something with that CPS, but the model in your screenshot is showing 245-246 MHz and you are trying to program UHF frequencies.

That said, I don't ever recall seeing a 888 in the 245 MHz frequency range. Something is wonky somewhere.

the not working ones were working before but they only one channel was legal so thats why i rewrited them and it was 245mhz range

And let's keep in mind the OP may not be in the US.

So are those radios actually 245 MHz radios? Like I said before, I don't ever remember seeing the 888 in anything other than UHF (400s).

If those are just normal UHF 888s, for some reason, the CPS appears to be recognizing them as 245 MHz radios, which could explain why the 400 MHz frequencies you are entering are not working.

If they are actually 245 MHz radios (which again...I have never seen in that model), they are not going to work on those freuqencies you are entering.

Either way, the problem, IMO, is coming from that 245 MHz.

Can't you just change the band on the drop down band selection from vhf 245 to uhf 4xx and upload it to the radio?

I have tried changing to UHF 400-470mhz

1/ Make Backup , this file can help for future works. Just click button on : REad Full MEM.
2/ Press button read info and you can see all existed freq.
3/ Edit frequency list what you need, select SQL level (i prefer set 3), select modulation WFM or NFM, Power HI/Low , and select Write Freq. option , next click again button Configuration.

All simple, faster, and more protective, because with exe program folder you can see addition backup file too.

Lose the CTCSS decode tones entirely and see if that helps the receive problem.
