No. Loads of people do of course, but the Baofengs need a licensed frequency - so while you can programme them with anything, using them would be illegal. There's no free licence channels for them.

And be warned that atleast one of the defaults is used by Fire rescue service at large incidents.

These are generally the default frequencies that it will be pre-programmed with in China.

Re: baofegn888s
They are ALL illegal to use, and some could have 'interesting' results - so replace them all with something less illegal - like the PMR446 channels - just duplicate the 8 channels with different CTCSS tones. There is no LEGAL frequencies you can use on this radio without buying a licence. The 446 ones are the least illegal - your choice, really on how legal you want to be. If you put PMR446 channels in them it does NOT make them legal. Just how it is.
