I just bought a pair of the above mentioned radios and tried to make their usage legal by programming them to PMR 446 frequencies. But after programming them with Miklor 1.5 they do not work. Does anybody have a PMR 446 program file with .480 extention for Baofeng BF-888S that works? I would appreciate receiving one. 
When you say “does not work” I take it you mean they just stay silent?
You could have messed up the entering of data, but what happens when you read from the radios? Does the screen show the data you entered? Or does the read fail? Usually I always try a read first because if that fails, no harm done. Writing data first with a mistake or even worse, the wrong software, can kill radios.
Tell us exactly what is happening. Does it read, does it not read, do you get comm errors, anything that will help us work out what you have done.
Hi there,
First of all, thank you for your response. So I can read and write the radio programme. I use MIKLOR 1.5. My problem is that I set the frequency band to 400-470, I set the PMR 446 frequencies and when I upload the program to the radios, on the channels where I have set the encoding the remote station just buzzes when transmitting, and where I have not set the encoding there is no reaction. I found a program that someone made for himself and half of it contains PMR446 frequencies. I uploaded it and miracle of miracles it works, but what I don’t understand is how they could program PMR 446 frequencies with the frequency band set to VHF2 (245-246Mhz) in the program. By the way, I have seen such a trick with the factory setting. To illustrate, I upload my own (not working) program called Baofeng recovery PMR 3 and the one that works (Baofeng recovery 2019) , but it contains eight frequencies that are not free/legal in our country. Do you have any tips on how I can make a working program or what I might have done wrong.
Sorry I coud not upload the .480 extention files so I uploaded one sreen print, the not working one.
Thank you for any kind of help in advance.
Best regards,

The band 2 frequencies shouldn’t accept 440MHz - So you have two codeplugs - one has PMR446 only with 16chs and various signalling and the other has 70cm ham frequencies and PMR446. Only one works? Can you not get the working one and just enter the frequencies you want? I think I must be missing something. Nothing wrong with the contents of either, within the radio’s spec - but the Band 2 version isn’t normally imported to the UK as we do not have that band. No errors I can see with the parameters entered - just the band thing.
Hi,
Thank you for your reaction. Unfortunately I am a bit confused and don’t understand it either. I tried several times programming the PMR frequencies and in principle there was no error yet it didn’t work. I remain baffled.
Best regards,
