    Hi all

    Im just looking for a bit of info on the Baofeng 888s
    I just bought a pair from ebay. i have only read here that there is some legal issues.
    I got them as im seperated from my partner but live a little shy of a kilometer away from her and my daughter.
    My daughter loves them but they only seem to work now and again, sometimes i can receive a clear communication from them and cannot hear me at all.
    Do i need to program them to legally use them in ireland and if so will this improve the quality of communication.
    Im a total novice on this subject so apologies if the questions are laughable.

    Thanks guys

    You can get boosters for those bangfuuk radios , I've seen them on eBay for about 5.00 euros each .
    They extend the range up to 20 miles at least , all the truckers are now using them instead of mobile phones ,
