Upon completion, the current programming of your radio will be displayed on the screen. The first thing I typically do is pull in the data from the Baofeng. After that, turn on the Baofeng and turn up the volume knob nearly all the way (assures good digital communications back-and-forth with the PC running CHIRP software). Then plug the other end into the Baofeng radio. The CHIRP website lists all the radios that it will work on (linked below).Īll you need to program the Baofeng is the software (free), and the programming cable.įirst, connect the USB end of the programming cable to your computer. Baofeng compatibility includes the various UV-5R models, as well as the BF-F8HP (which I have). Okay, CHIRP software works on LOTS of Baofeng radio models (and many other radios). There’s also plenty of online resources to help, if you search for it. Especially if you already understand radio principles. Once you get started, lots of it is intuitive. Instead, how-to simply add frequencies to your Baofeng radio. This is not a tutorial on all the options. I’m going to briefly describe (without getting into all the options) how to use CHIRP to simply program your Baofeng. Rather, using an easy-to-use computer program. It’s not by using the front panel menu options. It didn’t take long afterwards to discover how most everyone programs this radio. I bought my first pair of BF-F8HP Baofeng communications radios years ago. So, what’s the best easiest way to program a Baofeng?
It takes some getting used to, and referring to the user manual. More specifically, it’s not easy to program a Baofeng using its front panel buttons and integrated menu options. It is a challenge to program a Baofeng radio.
