[arm-allstar] Baofeng 888 Allstar

[Bill WD9EQD]

Doug,

 

Thanks for the great write-up and photos.

 

I now have my BF-888 on the air as a second node.

I used a USB cable (cut off the connectors) and wired it direct to

the radio board.   To make life easier, I decided to put the

resistors and capacitors at the DB25 end.  So far it seems to

be working fine. 

 

I tried running the radio using the cigarette lighter adapter, but found

that this adapter gets extremely hot.  So hot that it will almost

blister you if you touch it.  At present, I'm using the battery with the

charging stand.  But I know that under heavy QSO's the charger cannot keep
up

with the battery discharge rate.

I added a link on the hamvoip.org page on my mod of a Baofeng 888. Here is
the direct link -

This is a take-off of W0FCM's page also linked on hamvoip.org but just done
slightly differently.

It is working well.
