Unfortunately, CHIRP for the BF-888S is still a work in progress.



I was trying to get it to work this morning under Windows and it's still buggy.

It will download an image from the radio but will not upload the changes back to the radio.

A bug report was submitted about 3 weeks ago. Bug Report #1195

The latest daily build lists the 888S but that's a dual band and
it's highly unlikely the two are interchangeable as far as programming
with Chirp. Maybe the 666S is in the works, I don't know I'm not part
of their software development. Jens who posts to this list is part of
that group of people so he would be a better source of info as to what
is in the works.

The BF-888S is single-band UHF, 400-470 MHz. I was using one to test the
code, as well as an HST H-777. (Which is basically the same thing with
different labels, and is actually made by Baofeng according to the CMIIT
ID details.)

The web suggests that the BF-666S can be programmed with the Baofeng
BF-480 Windows software, which is the same as used for the BF-888S.

Just an FYI: The BF-888S is a 16 channel UHF only transceiver.
