a realy good radio the original mic is not very good. i brought a replacement mic for the vv898s its a lot better than the mic on the vv898 works a treat. still using my vv-898 with the vv-898s mic.
in the programming window in the top left there is a box called Model information. in that box there is a drop down list for the frequency range. You will have to contact whoever regulates the licencing of radio in your country to know what frequencies you can use. Looking at your profile info you may get more help here. facebook.com/Amateur.Radio.Palestine/ Hope that helps.
At the moment there are no user accessible commands to change the connections. I am planning in setting up some timers so it will connect to the freestar network during the day. I also have a UHF node MB7ALV. It is off air at the moment as I am replacing the radio that failed. I may make that one user controllable. Thank you for using the gateway. I hope you found it useful.
Hi I am looking to reprogram my icom m330 marine radio. Do you know if this is an easy job to do? I have the software but the cable is confusing me as to what I need ? Thanks for any help.
By far the most powerful advert I’ve seen in my whole life. The concept of a crisis in human form wandering up to what appears to be a normal home is absolute genius.
I noticed you did not toggle the HT from wide to narrow to match the setting of the transmitter. Have you tried having both radios set in the same mode of wide or narrow? Seems to me that both radios must be in the same mode for RX & TX to be effective.
I a way yes. The whole idea is that the usb to 9pon is a constant youbthen buils what we've lead you want on the other end. I've had a look around for the entel ht582. They use an odd circular plug. But all is not lostitbis possible to make your own lead by reverse engineering. I had a look at this site www.pmctelecom.co.uk/entel-ht-series-programming-cable-eprog-ht-new/?amp=1 And there is a high quality photo of the programming lead. More importantly the pins required. You need tx rx and ground. Ground should net be hard to identify after that isbis trial and error as to which pin is rx and which is tx. If you have a look for pogo pins such as these www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FQ52W88/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_ZTAA6D594TNDM7CNEWNG And a bit of very board or perf board you should be able to make a connector. Solder a wire on the know ground pin then slofer onto the other two pins. If it does notbwork swap tx and rx. Hope that helps. This is off the top of my head.
Me and my mates went there yesterday the only thing what’s left it the main building and a couple of buildings beside the main one but every other building had been destroyed
I went back with a former student just before the lockdown. We managed to get inside the main building and junior school. The senior school, annex and Gym have all been demolished. I did manage to get in my old office this time. previously I could only get inside the workshop and not the clinic and Audiology test room.
400th subscriber. Just been looking at this place (the school) and see your channel pop up a few times. Seems very interesting. Great footage, curious what drone you use? Il visit when I can seems like an easy explore. All the best buddy, de 2E0CRX 73 👋
Hey thanks for the sub. Made my day to get to 400. It's a bit of a random channel no real structure not looking to make a career of it. I have some more videos to edit and publish but time is at a premium. By day I work for an NHS trust in the IT section. Been kind a busy. Nice to see you local. I used toworking in Wigan and have friends over there. Nice bit of the world Lancashire.
How did you mount this on your bike. I have a V-Strom I want to mount it on. I had been throwing a Yaseu 50w mobile unit in my tank back for special events where I worked ham radio support, but its not the best solution.
Thank you for the kind comment. I use the channel to help me cope with my Asperger's and anxiety. A lot of what I film never makes it here. I'm too self critical. I do plan on publishing more content though. Stay safe.
If you are on narrow band, the tx aud is quiet because you probably didn't change your ht rec to narrow. Had you, the tx aud would have been louder. Narrow vs wide for audio is different than for channel spacing. Narrow for tx aud is only 2.5khz deviation. Like CB, they are narrow. Norm deviation for ham radio is 5khz (wide). 60 years ago, wide was 12.5khz and narrow was 5khz but that was when channel spacing was 25khz. A lot of radios still had valves back then. My two pence.
Hi brill vid ,would this be the same for the GD77 both my baofeng cables(chipped & plug& play cables will not work with with the radioddity. thanks Andy.
Hi Andrew, the cable cord the gd77 doe not have any electronics in the cable. The interface cable is in the radio itself. This article explains how the cable is wired. You could in theory take one of your bafeng leads, cut the usb plug off but leave some cable on so it can be resused. Then using a continuity meter work it what pin goes to what colour. Using the article below match the pin on the radio to the usb pin. For the usb end take an old usb cable and connect the radio lead to the usb cable. I hope that makes a bit of sense.
do you need a license for that radio? ??? vhf is marine band ..right for water application then UHF IS GROUND APPLICATION? ?? IS THERE A VID ON IT ABOUT ALL THE CHANNELS FOR WHAT EACH CHANNEL IS....
It depends on what country you are in. VHF and UHF are not always case use specific. VHF if used for Marine use as like you say it travels well over water. As for licensing. This again is country specific. If your in the USA then contact the ARRL. The radio I have is designed for the European market. If you buy one in your country there should be one for your country bands. As for videos I would search on Google for your country's band plans. Sorry if my answer is a bit vague. If you were in the UK I could give you a better answer. How this helps and thanks for watching.
Hi Phil Your web site comes up with.. Error establishing a database connection and the ukallstarhub site seems not to be functioning properly either. 73 Nick
Thanks Phil I use DMR and a home made hotspot. Thought I would give AllStar a try with a spare Raspberry Pi and was looking for more info about the mode. When the UKALLSTARHUB site also did not work I was beginning to think I might be looking at old videos but the latest all star RPI build I think is from last August. I will check back another time. 73 Nick
Hi Nick, the video is an old one on my channel. The technology's not changed but the new allstar build is designed for the pi2+ and the pi3. Not sure when the ukallstarhub site will be back up as I don't administrator it. Have a look on facet for hubnet loads of help there. Allstar does require a modified soundcard to interface with a radio. If you just one to test the mode then you can build. Radio less node as the trigger to send the Rx audio to the network is the down volume button. I have used a pair of cheap gaming headphones and then pressed the down volume button on the soundcard fob in the past to have a conversation. Not sure how much research you have done but you will need a node number from allstarlink.com. It's a two step process. Step 1 create an account. They use qrz.com to validate your call. Once that is done usually within 24 hours (USA time) you log in then create your node number.
My old school. I was a pupil there 1976 to 1986. This is legalised vandalism. Sefton Council has failed in its duty of care and is actually breaking the law. Makes me so angry.
So far I have wrecked two 888s using this!! All goes well, until I turn the radios off after programming with the 16 PMR channels. Switching on, all I get is the Chinese voice, with a high-pitched whistle.. Getting to be an expensive proposition! Have ordered another cable, just in case. 😣
This is the greatest video so far. But If I want to connect with USB cable which terminals goes in to what colour please? I have got 9 pin female thing. Regards.
Hi I am completely new to this, I am a member of a visually impaired bowls club and have 2 baoffeng 888s radios, I know I have to program them so as not to be on police channels etc. I dont know if we need a licence, we dont use the radios far away from each other as it is for grass bowls and indoor bowls use only. I want to know if I need a licence but if not is there a channel/frequency i can use that is free?
Hi Andrew. You are correct these radios need to be programmed to a legal frequency. There is a group of frequencies that are license free but these need radios designed for the task the BF888s does not meet these requirements. To use the license free bands you need a radio designed for PMR446. you can buy these radios from argos at about £40 a pair. PMR 446 is limited to half a watt output poer and the antenna must not be removable To use the BF888s legally in the UK you would need to buy a Simple UK Light license from Ofcom. The good news is that it is £75 for 5 years and you can have unlimited number of radios and use them anywhere in the uk. You can also use external antennas such as mag mount antennas so you can talk car to car as you travel if you wish. the Simple UK Light allows upto 5 watts on a hand held and you can change the antenna. Also the BF888s has a synthesized vice you can turn on and it calls out the channel number that you are set to. Very handy features for your users. the BF888s will program and work on the PMR446 frequencies but the radio will not meed the legal requirements. I am saying this because others may comment that you can. the chances of being caught by ofcom are sim if you do and you will probably had the radios confiscated if caught. Of com have bigger fish to chase and if your not causing issues to other users in the area then you will probably not get caught. I am not condoning this using the bf888s on PMR446 but giving you all the information so you can make an informed decision. to buy a license from ofcom go to secure.ofcom.org.uk/busrad/
