Quickly set the frequency on a BaoFeng BF-F8HP Radio
The simple "Cheat Sheet" version
Put the radio into VFO (Frequency) Mode
- Press the ORANGE VFO/MR button once or twice until shows two frequencies
- if you have voice prompts ON it will say the mode you are in
Press the BLUE A/B button
- until the top one has the little arrow pointing to it
Punch in the complete frequency as six digits
- if the frequency is 146.76 mhz, type in 146760
- no decimal point is needed
- add a zero to the end so there are 6 digits
Oopsies
- If you hit the MENU key by accident press the EXIT key.
- If you really mess up, just turn the radio off, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on.
Recommended
After setting the frequency, lock the radio
- Press the single key marked with a #-sign and a key icon for more than TWO SECONDS.
- This will lock the keyboard (so no accidental changes can occur) - you will see a KEY icon in the upper right of the display.
- Do the same to UNLOCK it (when you want to make changes).
