One programming error however made my life miserable at first. Just live with it, and enjoy the puzzles you’re confronted with! The spreadsheet design itself however is elegant because of its simplicity, and it gets the job done.

This fixed the problem.Ĭhinese programming software is generally poor by definition, programming and translation issues are common. I removed AVG and installed Microsoft Security Essentials instead. After some extensive searches, I found out that this particular ‘False Positive’ was a well known issue with AVG. At first I didn’t have much luck, because AVG Free thought that the software was a threat. Once you get this cable to work (which can be a real pain in the a** under some Windows versions), downloading and installing the Baofeng BF-480 software is all that’s left to get things on the road.

The first thing you need is a Kenwood compatible USB to serial cable, identical to the one you would use with the UV-5R, Wouxun or Quansheng. It didn’t come as a surprise to me that there was no software in the box either.

Actually, how to program the radio isn’t mentioned anywhere at all. This isn’t described anywhere in the manual. The monitor key is also needed when you want to program the thing you have to press and hold that one while switching on the radio. On a Baofeng, the second one is used to activate the flashlight, on the Tianyi this key has no function. The upper one is the monitor key and its function can be changed by software.

Apart from the PTT key there are two side keys. The capacity of the battery is quite generous: 1500mAh. The ‘Alligator’ belt clip is the best I’ve seen in a long time and fitted with an exceptionally strong spring. There’s no display, no keypad, no nothing – just an on/off/volume pot and a 16-position channel selector. Build quality seems reasonably OK, and there isn’t much you could break. They do look and feel a bit like the real thing though. This is not the case, unfortunately, but more about that later. These radios are often referred to as ‘Professional’, as if they could compete with the Motorolas and Vertex Standards of this world. A lot of 10 Baofeng BF-666S radios (with flashlight!) costs about the same at, one Baofeng BF-888S now costs $25 at (last week they were still over $40, which was a silly price). I paid $21.65 a piece in a lot of 10, which included shipping by DHL. Contrary to the Baofeng models, this variety does not feature a LED flashlight. There are three model numbers, BF-666S, BF-777S and BF-888S, which are basically identical radios with some cosmetic differences. The best known brand name is probably Baofeng. As I ordered 10 pieces of these radios for a local company, I took the liberty to check them out before shipping them out again.

There has been some chatter about these mono-band radios, but apart from some reviews on I couldn’t find much in-depth. What’s a brand name worth? Not much if it originates from China, I’m afraid – identical radios tend to pop up under a myriad of names.
