Baofeng BF-88ST PRO PMR446 Four-Radio Kit for Small Teams The Baofeng BF-88ST PRO PMR446 4-pack is built for teams that need more than a simple pair of radios: event crews, hospitality staff, warehouses, training groups, parking teams, small construction crews, and outdoor activity leaders. The EU PMR446 configuration provides 16 PMR446 channels, 0.5W maximum transmit power, 12.5kHz channel spacing, and a fixed antenna, making the kit easy to deploy for short-range voice coordination. Each BF-88ST PRO handset includes a backlit LCD, VOX hands-free transmission, dual-channel watch, monitor mode, channel scan, sub-code scan and store, 50 CTCSS tones, 105 DCS codes, keypad lock, roger beep, low-battery alert, LED torch, emergency strobe, and a 180-second time-out timer. The 1200mAh Li-Ion battery and desktop charger are useful for shift rotation, while the four-radio bundle keeps multiple operators on the same channel plan. Smaller teams can choose the Baofeng BF-88ST PRO 2-pack, while families may prefer the colorful Baofeng BF-33C PMR446 3-pack. For official operating information, see the Baofeng BF-88ST PRO product page and the BF-88ST PRO EU user manual. For alternate paired PMR kits by country packaging, compare the Radioddity Echo-IT PMR walkie talkies.
