On the spurious emission topic, he said there is a ham radio version and a GMRS version. As a newbie who hasn't purchased a radio yet, this confused me when I saw the different radios on Amazon. It's an either/or proposition?
@higginsreport7 сағат бұрын
I'd probably get the ham version even if you were only gonna use GMRS. Then just switch it to GMRS mode so you don't accidentally transmit out of band> if you will be using the ham bands run it in ham mode. As a newbie, you'll make less mistakes that way (accidentally xmits on like EMS freqs) JMO
@Sifo_Dyas7 минут бұрын
@higginsreport thank you. So the ham version can still use GMRS but the GMRS version can't do Ham. Why are they the same price and why would someone want the GMRS only version?

I have a wideband discone mounted in my attic. I don't recall the exact model, I've had it for so long. Works great and I don't worry about leaving hooked up all the time since it's not outside (lightning).

I ordered the 17R on Amazon with the programming cable and improved antenna. I used CHIRP-NEXT and selected UV-17Rplus. This allowed me to manually program my local airports and GMRS (for those with a GMRS license)

This is probably the best cross mode demo I have seen. Now I don't have to have a dedicated profile for D-Star to DMR. I have a D75 and us the unlink from the Reflector menu. The Individual menu is also a good place to same D-Star reflectors. Thanks for the video.

I bought mine for about 26 bucks. No cradle, but I don't care. Was worried, after I got it, and after listening to people bitch, that it wouldn't work on GMRS. It does. 1-22. Even think it works on MURS. I'm quite pleased with it.

I don't agree with you that that radio a not going to have as good receiver as an Icom, yaesu or Kenwood all handhelds or even a scanner have equal receiver the only thing on expensive Ham radios you mention is the transmitting audio a little bit better I compared it with my yaesu handheld.
@higginsreportАй бұрын
I should clarify, that was a general statement referring to SupeHet vs SOC technolgy. My Kenwood D74 has a lower audio output than this radio - depending on the signal being received the TD-H3 may sound as if it is the better receiver or equivalent. However, I would bet strong nearby transmissions will overload the front end of the TD-H3 and degrade the desired signal. I accept this shortcoming from a SOC receiver as somewhat acceptable due to the much lower cost . Just my opinion. Thanks for watching!

Just became a Tech HAM over the weekend and i do indeed have the DMR Radioddity GD-AT10G and it is awesome as i just had my first contacts with it. I have thousands of ID's in there. There was a local Pennsylvania State Wide NET this evening and this Radio can do it all except VHF, But for the price. It's a great Ham DMR HT. For anyone, like you said, want to go the cheaper way. This little awesome HT is for you. 73's and maybe i can catch you on air one day. -KD3AMB
