    Product Description

    Our  most advanced HAM accessory for the CS800 or CS800D - the CS-BFD - has been generating  a lot of excitement because of a number of popular new features, including an  amazing large touch screen display that enables you to read more data than ever  before from several feet away. The display area is 15X larger than the display  that comes with the CS800D radio. No more squinting! The picture below shows a  typical display when you are having a QSO.

    The  Favorite Zone screen will simplify your life by enabling you to go quickly to  one of the 16 zones you use most frequently. With the standard CS800D, you can  have up to 250 zones. With the favorite zones feature, simply press the touch  screen display in two places to get to one of your your sixteen favorite zones.  The picture below shows a typical display with the sixteen favorite zones.

    The  Favorite Channel feature is also a wonderful time-saver for the CS800D which has  up to 4000 channels. All you need to do to reach one of your favorite channels  is to press the touch screen display in two places and voila - you're in. The  picture below shows a typical display with the sixteen favorite channels.

    The  Enhanced Monitor feature automatically provides you with a graph showing which  are the most active groups on your favorite channel. This features provides you  with a solution to a problem you probably never thought about. The problem is  which groups are using your favorite repeater? If you want to start a QSO on your  favorite repeater, which groups are listening? You can monitor the radio for days  at a time to determine who is active on that repeater. At the end of the day or  the week, depending on how long you want the CS-BFD to monitor the channel, you  will get a graph that shows the most active groups and tabbular data that shows  exactly how busy each of the groups are. The picture below shows a typical display  that shows the accumuation of talk groups from a repeater.

    The  new Spectrum Analyzer allows you to scan between two frequencies, enabling you  to find unknown stations and determine how busy those stations are. The picture  below shows a typical display that shows the RF activity in this area.

    The  Enhanced Channel feature allows you to easily set up a temporary channel in a  few seconds. Just put the relevant information in the screen and press the activate  button and you instantly set up a temporary channel. The screen below shows a  typical channel.

    enhanced-channel3.jpg

    The  VFO mode allows you to manually scan between two frequencies. Once a channel has  been found you can then start a QSO. A typical screen is shown below.

    You  are on a channel and you need to take a break and when you come back you can see  who has spoken while you were gone. Press the touch screen in the right spot and  the CS-BFD will bring up the last several calls as shown below.

    Here is the best part. If you do not think this display is worth what you paid for it, you can return the display within 30 days and get a complete refund of your purchase price. If the display breaks during the first year, we fix it for free.

      I like it but its big...

      Posted by Mike.L on Aug 19th 2022

      I bought this because of the tiny display on the standard radio. This thing is huge. I wish there was an option of something a little smaller.

      Connected to my CS-800D used as a base station. I'm happy with the size of the display. Great piece of equipment. Bill, W7ERH

      CS-BFD Display

      The display works fine. It is much larger than I imagined it would be. So far so good.

      CS-BFD

      Posted by Mike Vinocur on Apr 7th 2022

      A very worthwhile investment. Larger than I had expected, but for base use not a problem. Really brings out all the features of the CS-800D/800 in an easy to see and pleasant color presentation. Speeds up selecting various operating functions.

      Very static sensitive

      Posted by Mark on Jan 19th 2022

      I live in a place that gets very dry and cold in the winter, which is conducive to accumulation of static electricity. I use the display inside on the desktop. About 25% of the times I walk into the room the display goes blank and/or all fields disappear until next refresh. The radio itself is working correctly - there's just no way to see what's going on. Power cycling the radio is necessary to re-boot the display. I've tried every type of grounding I can think of without any success at all. Sometimes even discharging myself on the light switch at the door zaps the display and requires a reset. Touching the display anywhere with even a slight charge? Forget it. The problem is somewhat less noticeable during summer months. I agree in general with the other reviews - the display functions well otherwise and has good features. But something should be done about the static sensitivity. BTW, I can hit the CS800 body with a full charge and it chugs right along.

      It sure does make using the radio a lot easier. Wish it would show ALL of contacts info like the ANYTONE 578 does. All I see is DMR ID

      CS-BFD

      Posted by David Williamson on Mar 26th 2021

      Purchased the BFD on Wednesday, received it on Saturday. Sunday morning plugged it in, not so happy. The radio would now only hear our repeater and cycle on & off every minute or so. The display would only say "waiting on radio"''. I emailed Jerry with the issue expecting not hear anything until Monday. I was totally surprised when Jerry responded within 2 hours on a Sunday. The fix was simple enough, update the firmware. After a couple of hours I had the firmware update and the radio program reinstalled. Everything worked perfect. THANK YOU JERRY!!! He did not need to respond on a Sunday, however that is what Connect Systems is all about, good products and service. Did I mention Jerry, THE OWNER, Sunday's response!! Way to go Connect Systems for putting CUSTOMER back into customer service for your customers!!!

      Great for mobile use

      Posted by Ryan on Jan 29th 2021

      I would posit that a large, easy to read screen is safer for mobile use than a small, difficult to read screen. A mere glace at it gives you in the info you need. The BFD excels in this capacity. Not only that, but it opens up controls which do not normally exist on a DMR mobile, or are buried in menus. Although not terrible loud, the speaker is much better than I would have expected--excellent in fact. I have a small car, but I was able to fit the BFD into it using a Lido seat bolt mount. When I am alone in the car, it hovers just to the right of the gear shifter. When I have a passenger, moving it to accommodate said passenger is the work of seconds. Connections are simple, and I really appreciate that a standard CAT5/6 cable is used for the connection to the CS-800D.

      7" Color touch screen Display for CS800D

      Posted by Gregory (K9OY) on Sep 1st 2020

      Bought a CS800D for the remote head option as only a few DMR radio's have this feature. So far I'm l'm liking it a lot... I love the 7" CS-BFD, touch screen display which I mounted to the wall with a swiveling TV monitor stand in my Ham Shack. It works GREAT, and is much bigger than it appeared in the Radio AD, which almost never happens with stuff I purchase. The only item I ended up not using was the CS-BFD 12Vdc Wall Wart power supply I purchased, as after receiving everything I realized the CS-BFD 7" display works on 12VDC too so I was able to hook it up directly to my same 12VDC supply that powered the CS800D radio too. All in all it was a good buy, and works great on DMR in my Ham Shack. Thanks K9OY Chicagoland, IL....
