BAOFENG BF-T1 Mini | Audio Fix | Loud Audio Mod Fix

In this video I will show you how to remedy the very common 'loud' audio on the small Baofeng BF-T1 Mini half watt handy, using a small resistor and just a little bit of soldering.

This is utmost useful content! Used this mod to calm down my newly bought Baofeng PMR (sold as MP25, sticker in battery bay says EP25). 22k resistor did the job.

Some technical details: the chip we care about in BF-T1 is LN4890 (1W Differential Audio Power Amplifier). EP25 uses different one labeled BL6281 (1.7 Watt Audio Power Amplifier) but the pinout is the same (pins 4 (-IN) and 5 (VO1) need to be connected with the resistor). I'm so, so happy mod worked. Thank you VERY much!

With a 33k resistor the highest volume is about the same as the lowest volume on a stock BF-T1. I started with 22k, it was a little bit too quiet for me, then I tested 4.7k, even quieter, so lower resistance->quieter

Hello friends! You don't need to make any hardware modification to fix the problem. Just program radio using CHIRP software. Settings > Basic Settings > Volume Level. Max is 7 i've set it to 5 and now is ok. 73 de Luke SQ9IVD

Parabéns pelo Vídeo!! informação e tutorial excelentes e uteis pra quem adquiri um BF-T1. Fiz o mod em meu HT e ficou excelente!

Well made video made. Sound, picture, fades, music links, very nice. Got 2 radios on the way. Tony

Easier to just put the resistor on the speaker. A resistor kit is pretty cheap and then you have all values to hand.👍😎

Thanks for the video, I just did both of my radios and have to agree sounds much better. 73

22k is perfect.
Easily done, thanks for the video.

Could the same results be achieved if a resistor was placed in series at the speaker? I have done this mod...but have noticed that the battery drains over time while being switched off...i am not sure if the mod causes this...?

Hi, I just wondering if the resistor that you puit on T1 radio was one of 22k with 2 watts?

Hi dude, I just wondering if the resistor that you puit on T1 radio was one of 22k with 2 watts? Thanks in advance.

I'm eventually buying one of these radios. They really should release a modified or updated version.

[LerBir]

Thanks for the video. 16k is perfect too.

Hello, problem no signal radio fm. Solved? Fixed?

[XPFTP]

so look for any lm386 ic datasheets. seems like thats all that chip is.. it will show u same.. u can do a resistor and i htink some schematics ive seen do caps also.. dont remember..

[vagrantus]

Alternatively, what about using a resistor on the speaker wire? That would seem much easier to solder and less chance of goofing up the board and components.

[chfvanacol]

That's grand Mike. any idea to increase power too?

[tophypes]

Did you disconnect the legs from the circuit board or you just attached the resistor to it.

I Grabbed a Cuppa Tea...Sprayed Mines with CorrosionX Waterproofing Spray also...

Recently I brought 2 pcs baofeng T1, but unfortunately 1 of them is broken which is won't be able to be charging the battery.
Can you show me how to repair what is wrong? Thanks
