I would suggest (assuming you have a technician or greater class license) you use them for whatever local repeater frequencies you have. The onus is upon the end user to comply with proper certification to operate radios within Canada. FRS are not legal frequencies on the BF-888s because the radio's are not certified for FRS use, they have removable antennas, and their transmit power is too high.
The Baofeng family of radios is considered to be an amateur (HAM) radio and does NOT have the required certifications to transmit outside of HAM radio frequencies. Amateur radios are not certified to operate on FRS frequencies, they cannot ever be authorized as per section 4 of the Radio Communications Act for use outside ham bands. In order to legally transmit on those bands the radio requires a certification from Industry Canada. Radios that transmit on specific frequencies such as the Family Band (FRS) or GMRS frequencies require appropriate licencing. When a radio is built by an Advanced HAM licence holder that radio can only be operated on HAM frequencies. When they are built by someone in possession of an advanced amateur (HAM) radio licence they do not require certification. American Law is often cited when discussing the use of the Baofeng radios.Īll radios that operate within Canada require certification.
It is important to point out that Canadian law is different then the American law. Staff at Rapid Survival have discussed this topic with a subject matter expert and have written this blog post to help educate users.

Note: These tones do NOT cause your conversation to be private or scrambled. These tones are sub-audible (cannot be heard) and are selectable via software. This option allows you to ignore unwanted calls from others on the same frequency. You may sometimes want to hear calls only from specific persons or groups. Pressing the PTT switch while a channel is in use will emit an alert tone and inhibit the transmitter.ĬTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) or DCS (Digital Coded Squelch). This is helpful for adjusting volume level and receiving weak signals.īCL prevents you from transmitting on a channel if a signal is present. When no signal is being received, Press and Hold the MONI. Alert tone will sound and Red LED will blink. Reminds you that battery needs recharging.
Battery saver turns on automatically 10 seconds after no signal is received and no operation is being performed. Reduces the battery power used when not receiving a signal. The transmitter is keyed when the VOX circuit senses you are speaking into the microphone. VOX eliminates the need for using the PTT key to transmit. And alert will sound when the limit for that transmission has been reached. The purpose of the TOT is to prevent transmitting for a long period of time, causing thermal damage to the radio. The TOT limits the length of a users transmission. With the squelch correctly set, you will only hear sound when a signal is present. The purpose of the Squelch is to mute the speaker when no signals are present. Main functions of Baofeng 88E/888S PMR Version, can be changed via programming Cable. We have already programmed this radio to PMR446 license-free frequencies ,you can also program it to other frequencies (UHF 400-470MHz) via cable & software.
