The manual mentions programming the VOX sensitivity but says nothing about how to do it. Does anyone here know or wish to hazard a guess as to how to program these?

Use CHIRP or RT Systems. I have the RT Software and it was easy to program. I
didn't pay attention to the tones but programmed them for ham frequencies and
FRS/GMRS. They're (the BF-888s I bought around 2016) illegal for the latter
because they are not FCC type accepted, put out too much power, and probably for
other reasons as well. They may even have scrambling as an option. For ham use,
they'd be OK.

Also, any speculation or knowledge about why these have so few sellers and why they're not mentioned on the BaoFeng website?

The packaging on my BF-888s said they were license-free. They were definitely
NOT license-free because they could be programmed on frequencies that were not
FRS channels, and the output exceeded the maximum allowed, I believe, for
FRS/GMRS. If you plan to use them for ham use, there shouldn't be a problem.

This is just some food for thought.

Some ham radio groups you may be interested in:
/g/ICOM /g/Ham-Antennas
/g/HamRadioHelp /g/Baofeng
/g/CHIRP

If they don't list the radio, they don't officially support it, but you can try
on their website for more information. They might also have an alpha or beta
version you can try.

We're just a peer to peer support group and don't have an official channel to
CHIRP.

I tried CHIRP. CHIRP doesn't list the T26, so I tried the BF888, T20, and T20FRS settings to download what's in the radio now. Which radio in the CHIRP list resembles the T26 regarding programming?
