Baofeng BF-T1 extra small UHF walkie-talkie 20 program channels

The Baofeng BF-T1 is an ultra-compact, credit card-sized UHF walkie-talkie 20 programmable channels designed for short-range communication. It is heavily used by restaurant waitstaff, event teams, and hotel staff who want a lightweight tool that easily slips into a pocket. Unlike larger radios, it is extremely thin and does away with a bulky charging dock. Instead, it plugs right into a standard micro-USB cable just like a mobile phone.

I have made full use of the available channels on this radio 1-16 are the licence-free, two-way walkie-talkies channels operating on the PMR446 frequencies They are legally capped at a 0.5-watt output and use a fixed antenna.

The other 4 channels are for armature use only. The repeaters CH17 GB3WO, CH18 GB3BR, CH19 GB3HY. Channel 20 is a local Allstar Node Gateway. New in the box programmed £18

You can modify the channels to your own requirement if you are confident to do it. I can supply a programming cable for £5. The radio does not come with a programming cable only a charging cable and this will not programme it I had to buy one myself from Baofeng to program this radio.
