Maybe I’ve come in, in the middle of this conversation but, in my Baofeng, UV-5R 8 watt version (not the BF-8), all I do for a language change is, hit menu, then use the arrows to scroll to the item number that changes the language from Chinese to English. Hit menu again, change it, hit menu again to “confirm” what change I’ve made, then hit “exit”. Done. Is it different in other model Baofengs? Scott
From: chirp_users-boun...@intrepid.danplanet.com [mailto:chirp_users-boun...@intrepid.danplanet.com] On Behalf Of Dan Jolley via chirp_users Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2019 4:36 AM To: chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] Updated - In reference to Bug # 5027 - New Baofeng BF-888s started in English, but after being programmed they got stuck on Chinese and couldn't change back to English. Update May 11, 2019 - I got in touch with Amazon Product Support and they had a new BF-888s PDF Manual to download. I got to the part that said "ON CHANNEL 15, PRESS AND HOLD THE PTT AND MONI BUTTONS WHILE SWITCHING ON THE TRANSEIVER TO CHANGE THE VOICE PROMPT LANGUAGE (CHI / ENG)". I loaded the original Chinese image in English, then I loaded an image that I knew was already in English, but it was in Chinese. After doing the instructions, the image went back to English. So all the things I tried were in vain. I went back and read the BF-888s manual from 2016 and those instructions were there too, but I missed it. But I figured you guys already knew about it. I just thought I'd pass this along to others who did not know about it. Dan Jolley
