Hello
I recently purchased a few of the new model 888S PRO, which appears to be almost identical to the original 888S however it has wireless frequency copy and firmware is not readable through Chirp or the BF480 software, I can read/write using the "888S PC Software" however cannot change any frequency or other settings without it appearing to corrupt the radio firmware and make the radios unstable/unsaleable.
They work fine out of the box on all of the factory test channels. It is a UHF radio (advertised as 400-470) but when reading original it comes back with it being "model" Freq range VHF2 [245-246Mhz], if you then try to change any of the existing UHF frequencies they just default to 245, if you change the freq range (model) itself and flash radio they don't appear to transmit at all anymore.
There is a "setting.ini" file inside the 888S folder that contains the frequency spreads however changing those values does nothing useful and simply change the figures listed in the program.
Just curious if anyone knows anything about this model and possible software I could try to use with it?
