You can easily program from a PC to set-up the radio to operate exactly as needed. You can set VFO limits using the CHIRP software.


The radio has 2 power levels (8 watts maximum), allowing you to choose how far you can communicate. You can give channels alphanumeric names, using a computer. You can add or remove channels from scanning list using the free computer software. There are 128 programmable memory channels.Tone calling (private line) is required by most repeater applications and the BF-F8X3 Tri-Band supports the latest standards Set-up your calling methods to call by group tones. It supports CTCSS, DCS, and DTMF calling methods. Group Tones supportedThe BF-F8X3 Tri-Band supports the most common Analog Tones.Monitor two different frequencies (even on different bands (VHF/UHF)) and the radio will monitor both frequencies giving priority to the first station to receive an incoming call. Dual Watch ReceiverThe BF-F8X3 Tri-Band has one built-in receiver but can “watch” two channels (semi-duplex).That way in brings in all the settings and everything automatically.

Pro tip: any time you want to program a new radio using Chirp, first import or upload the content from the radio into chirp. Crazy easy and fast to program a bunch of radios back to back once you have the program written. You can also remotely turn on the microphone through ‘Monitor’, or ensure the radio is within range by using ‘Inspect’ (replies with a confirmation tone when it is within range). I use chirp and one of the updated cables. You also can ‘Revive’ a BF-F8X3 Tri-Band from its “stunned” or “killed” state. By remotely sending DTMF tones you can both ‘Stun’ (Transmit Disable) or ‘Kill’ (Disables all functions) the UV-5R Tri-Band.
