I have Baofeng BF-888S plus just bought H.R.G. PC03 FTDI USB Programming Cable for Jingtong, BaoFeng. I downloaded the chirp software and wouldlike to know how to program the devices so I don't mess with emergency systems, etc. Sadly, I need extremely straightforward step by step instructions.

Thank you,

Be sure that in the View menu that "Hide Unused Fields" is enabled

Setup channel/Loc 1 like this...

Frequency = {the frequency you want to listen to} Tone Mode = "(None)" # always works for receive only Duplex = "off" # disables transmit so you "don't mess with emergency systems" Mode = {your choice} # it shouldn't matter for RX only, but NFM would be (more) correct for non-ham frequencies Power = {your choice} # TX is disabled so it doesn't matter Skip = {your choice} # when set to "S", the channel is skipped when the radio is scanning

repeat for the other 15 channels.
