Baofeng 888s with UK simple business license

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on whether I am doing something wrong or whether these things are just more limited than the manufacturers are letting on before I put the in a box and return them.

I bought 3 888s from BaofengUK I got a simple UK biz license - my UHF freqs run from 449 to 458, I cant get these things to work for love nor money with my frequencies, the squelch breaks but there is no voice transmitted at all, heres a pic of my config, I turned off all the obvious stuff that I thought might not help.

So after quite literally hours and getting no where, I decided to write back the original config that the radios came with and of course all those illegal freqs work great but not the ones I actually paid for, can anyone help me maintain my sanity before I bin these off, what am I missing?
