Baofeng Bf F8 Programming Software3/31/2021
Is it a fluke or has Baofeng upped their game Read on to see.What I mean with the Baofeng BF-F8 is that it is basically the same radio; plastics, battery, accessories, etc, but upgraded.
Once I started putting the Baofeng BF-F8 through my tests I started getting excited, this looked to be the replacement for the venerable UV-5R we have all been waiting for. When the backlight turns off, the background turns jet black and the text stays that not quite white, grayish color. I will admit in low light it is a little harder to read than the standard UV-5R screen, but in good light or with the backlight on, it is awesome. Of course, it even uses the same Baofeng BF-F8 programming software, CHIRP. Comparing the Baofeng BF-F8 vs BF-F8HP shows exactly what Baofeng can do when they have a little time as this radio suffers from none of the things I hate about the BF-F8HP. Baofeng Bf F8 Programming Software Manual For TheIn fact, the manual for the radio literally is the UV-5R manual, go figure. In addition, it adds some power behind that signal just about on par with the F8HP, 5RA, and 6R. All three of those radios however have dirtier signals than this one so my guess is this one will actually get you a usable signal further down the road. I was never really sure why that button was there anyway and someone there seems to have been equally as confused since it has been axed from just about all their radios. It is not that bad really, and it does not affect performance at all, but it is still a little irritating. If this was more than a 30 radio I would send it back but as it is I will just keep it. I can honestly say they got this one right, it is in my opinion the best radio out there in this price range except maybe the UV-9R Plus.
