The BF888 is NOT a vhf radio, it is a UHF radio so it will NOT program VHF frequencies

How do I program channels

The GP88 is a dealer programmable handheld radio. It requires Motorola proprietary software, programming cable and R.I.B. (radio interface box). You will need to inquire of your nearest radio dealer if they have the appropriate software.

Need to program

Hi,

You have a Motorola CP110 VHF portable radio. (the Make/Model)

then you say.... need to program..... your car, your radio, your remote, your partner????

If by chance you need to program the radio and you are looking to find the software to do so, then that's the info we need to help you.

If this is the case, and I'm only guessing, Join yahoo group specific to your radio Make/Model, the team there will give great advice & info, plus you can download manuals, diagrams and software(if available), all of this is free.

I hope this answers your query, if not, please supply more info.

Best regards,
Peter

How do I change and select channels and frequencies w my motorola axv5100 two-way radio? Can it communicate with a motorola talk about?

Hello,
This radio comes with programmed channels and tone codes programmed into it. Should it still be stock the the diagram below is what you will use. The tones programed into are there to prevent someone on the same frequency from interfering with your conversation. It's a way of isolating the frequency. These are adjusted by the A,B,C,D You will know what frequency it is by the channel indicated. As for weather or not it will communicate with a Motorola talk about the answer is no. This radio is a VHF frequency and the talk about is MURS.
Regards, Tony

Channel - Pre-Loaded VHF Frequency (MHz) - Code (Hz)
1 151.6250 67.0 2 151.6250 77.0 3 151.6250 88.5 4 151.6250 179.9 5 151.6250 None 6 151.9550 67.0 7 151.9550 82.5 8 151.9550 94.8 9 151.9550 179.9 10 151.9550 None

What's the channel frequencies for a common 22 channel motorola 2 way vhf radio?

Not sure what you want.....VHF band ius approximatly 130mhz to 175 mhz..... in that VHF band there is a commercial VHF band aprox. 155 mhz to 175...... the amateur radio vhf band is aprox. 135 to 150mhz.

 

With amateur radio, any freq in that range can be used...... with commercial radio the FCC cangive a company any freq. in that range also.

 

If you are looking for FRS/GMRS frequencies they are UHF freqs not VHF.

So I'm not sure exactly what you want......sounds like you might want to program in FRS freqs into an Icom amateur radio. If thats  the case you will need an Icom that will do UHF freqs.

Not finding what you are looking for?
