The BF-888S radios only have something like 16 channels, so that 
technique may not be as useful.

Thanks Gents.
Doubling up on the channels as described is the work around I have already adopted. The point is that there is a feature described both in the Chinglish manual and supported through CHIRP that just isn't working for the 12 handsets I have on the floor in front of me. For me a work around is adequate - others might have a different operating scenario where it is not possible. The engineer in me always wants to see things work as they should !
