    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.

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.

    Great addition to my shack. Set-up was plug and play. Lots of useful features. Can’t wait until it can control my HF Gear.

    While a bit pricey for a display, it has some useful features. I like having a list of operators with their name and call sign (DMR use, of course) and which channel they were on. It's also much easier to read the frequencies and channel from a distance. Using it as a base now, but it may well end up mobile.

    The display looks much better in person,

    Posted by Joseph Massimino on Oct 31st 2019

    It has a good sound from the speaker, and is easy to see when mobile. The mounting threaded holes on the back lined up perfectly with the ball mount I had previously bought. The buttons are programmable, and the touch screen is the only thing that has limited use.I think that they can put much more into the touch screen option in regards to the display. As it is, it is very nice for mobile use.
