CHIRP

Which factory software does it use. Does the factory software let you program within this range. What does the label under the battery show. The factory BF-888 software that I have only goes up to 470 MHz and the label on my BF-888 shows 400-470 MHz.

Hello Jim,

Thanks for the response.

The seller sent me a link to BF-480Plus software, purportedly version 12.07.30. However, I can't get this software to talk to the radio. I can get Chirp to read from the radio so I know that the USB-serial cable is working. I can't try the other BF-480Plus links on www.baofengradio.com because it's down at the moment.

The label behind the battery shows 400-480MHz. I have attached a picture.

Regards,
Roger.
