Baofegn 888s

hi all i have just programmed my baofeng 888s to the pmr licence free frequencies how ever the ctccs dont seem to work with my binatone they show up as different on the radio

They show up different? How so? First thing is can they receive the binatones with the receive CTCSS turned off? I suppose it’s possible the binatones have nonstandard CTCSS - why not programme the Baofengs with one frequency, and a range of CTCSS tones - one per radio channel, then you can go through them with the Binatone remaining on one channel?

Just time consuming faffing around I suspect.

These radios are not permitted by regulation for use on these frequencies, under European PMR446 regulations.
