<div>Scott, I wish it was that easy. The BF-888s manual says "<span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">ON CHANNEL 15, PRESS AND
HOLD THE PTT AND MONI BUTTONS WHILE SWITCHING ON THE TRANSEIVER TO CHANGE THE VOICE PROMPT LANGUAGE (CHI / ENG)". That does work, but the first time you load an image it goes back to Chinese. You tried and I thank you for your help. Feel free if you have any other thoughts or ideas. There must be something in the software or firmware in the new BF-888s causing this. There is no menu on this radio, just the power/volume, channel, PTT, monitor button and the button that turns the little LED on. These are very cheap simple radios. You can look them up on Amazon.<br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;">Dan</span></span><br></div><div><br></div>

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?</span></p>

HOLD THE PTT AND MONI BUTTONS WHILE SWITCHING ON THE TRANSEIVER TO CHANGE THE VOICE PROMPT LANGUAGE (CHI / ENG)".<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
