BTECH Releases CPS Version 1.2.5m: Optimized to Enhance Your BF-F8HP PRO Experience with Firmware V0.44

Wednesday,  June 4, 2025

ARLINGTON, SD – BTECH, in collaboration with CPS specialist Terri Kennedy, is excited to announce CPS version 1.2.5m—an updated programming software specifically tailored to maximize the capabilities of your BF-F8HP PRO. This release perfectly complements the recent V0.44 firmware upgrade, delivering powerful new tools, intuitive improvements, and streamlined functionality for smoother radio programming and management. Whether you’re an advanced user managing large scan groups, or a beginner looking for a more forgiving interface, CPS 1.2.5m is built to help you get the most out of your radio—faster and with more confidence.

Here’s a straightforward look at what CPS 1.2.5m brings to your BF-F8HP PRO:

Seamless Support for Linked Zone Scanning: One standout feature in firmware V0.44 is the innovative Linked Zone Scanning capability. CPS 1.2.5m fully integrates this feature, allowing users to easily select or deselect multiple zones for scanning right from the software interface. Now, managing complex scanning setups is effortless, providing maximum monitoring versatility at your fingertips.

Customize Side Keys and Improve Your Workflow: The latest CPS introduces programmable controls for your radio’s side keys, including the upper side key (SK1). Easily set these keys for rapid access to NOAA weather alerts, quick zone selection, or to disable them entirely—perfect for preventing accidental presses during rigorous outdoor use or when carrying the radio in a protective case.

Enhanced User Interface and Error Handling: CPS 1.2.5m significantly improves user interactions

  1. Clearer Labels: Menus and options now closely match your radio’s interface, eliminating guesswork.
  2. Expanded Squelch Levels: Eight adjustable squelch levels ensure crystal-clear audio in diverse environments.
  3. Improved Error Notifications: Detailed, user-friendly error messages help you quickly resolve issues with configuration files.

Quick Programming for Aircraft Band: For aviation enthusiasts, CPS 1.2.5m now accurately supports the aircraft band frequency range (108–137 MHz), including precise 8.33 kHz channel spacing. This ensures your airband monitoring remains precise, compliant, and effective.

Improved Interoperability and Convenience: If you use other Baofeng models such as the UV-17 Pro GPS, you’ll appreciate CPS 1.2.5m’s enhanced compatibility, making file imports and transfers smoother. This simplifies your programming workflow and reduces time spent configuring radios individually.

How to Update Your CPS to Version 1.2.5m

Updating to the latest CPS software is straightforward:

  1. Visit the BF-F8HP PRO product page and download CPS 1.2.5m, or download it here.
  2. Extract and run the setup file to install the software.
