Will this one have the same problems as all the other China made mini mobiles?
ReplyDelete15 to 17 watts max, ????
Deleteand of course the programming cable does not function with win 10
I like that it's so small so it will hardly take up any room in your trash bin.
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to see a manual for it. Also, wonder how similar it is to the Leixen VV-898, which has zero knobs?
ReplyDeleteThe manual that comes with this radio is truly awful, the worst sort of Engrish you've ever read.
DeleteSo I wonder what will be the best of the worst out of all these? This? The Leixen? Or the KT-8900?

DeleteHi,does anyone have a ttl-rj45 schematic for this radio ?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if they fixed the bugs in the programming software yet?
ReplyDeleteNot as good as a Baofeng UV-5r
ReplyDeleteYes I own both ..
Baofeng UV-5r is more sensitive , and filters noise better ..
BJ-218 is overpriced if paying more than $100USD
Very very deaf receiver. What a shame.
ReplyDeleteFurther to my comment on 31st August- Correction *** I WAS WRONG *** Its NOT deaf *** We had the wrong antenna in. Its not the most sensitive but its fine. In fact I would say , against buying an unknown second hand Japanese transceiver its a good buy. Puts out 5 , 10 and 25 watts as claimed. Acceptable on breakthrough too. Good audio reports , All in all a super little thing for the money.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if it is possible to increase the 10w version to the advertised 25 watt?
DeleteHello everyone.
ReplyDeleteMy BJ 218 does not work betwen 145.000 and 147.000. It seems locked in this range. How can I unlock it?
I appreciate a lot your help

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI would also schema RJ 45 at the BJ-218 needed

Hello Pavel
DeleteMy BJ can be programmed with chirp Luiton LT-725UV
rj 45 = 2 tx 4rx 5 ground
Can someone email me the bj-218 programming software please.
ReplyDeleteI also like to have it
Delete4 and 5 swapped, 4 is ground 5 is RX !!
Deleteme gustaria tener esquema del cable de conexion del micro y cable de programación
ReplyDeleteI got the software BUT it says there is a communication error or time out error, I give up on this radio unless someone has some ideas... there is a company (RTS) that sells the software and cable for $50 USD but will it work?
ReplyDeleteI am happy to share my software if someone will share what they did to get it to work, just email me at: scouterdonn@gmail.com and we can work together to figure it out. I have 8 of the BJ218 for my boy scout camps and need them working ASAP. I am posting this on 5/13/17.
ReplyDeleteI got it to work using Windows 10 and chirp software and a cable from bluemax49 (e-bay). Told Chirp it was a Luiton 725.
DeleteAnyone have a microphone pinout for this radio? I need a replacement and have no idea where to start.
ReplyDeletePinout:
Delete1. Green - Keypad
2. DATA TX from radio (TTL)
3. White - Microphone. line level
4. Blue - 0V for Programming cable
5. Yellow - PTT / Data RX to radio (TTL)
6. Shield - 0V
7. Red - +8V
8. Black - Keypad
Just receive today a cable for programming a bj-218, download a program from Baoji, win 10 driver ok but not work, windows 8 same can't send or receive, hope chirp make this possible.
ReplyDeleteI'm not alone in the world with this problem....
Manualy it's just hard but not impossible.

A lot of these cables use counterfeit chipsets. If Windows updates the drives it will not work. You have to use the driver from the seller/manufacturer. It has nothing to do with Chirp or the programming software itself from Baojie that you input the frequencies. - 25 Years in the IT field, I speak from experience.
Deletehow can i get the loud beep off my BJ218
ReplyDeleteAnyone use this with a TNC for packet? The mic pinout someone provided above does not appear to have audio output. I guess the connector in the back is for speaker, so perhaps that could be used.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if anyone knows if the BJ-218 would be ideal for GMRS traffic. Thank you in advance. Still green.
