Baofeng UV-5G Plus vs TidRadio TD-H3 - I Compare The TD-H3 GMRS Radio To The Baofeng UV-5G Plus GMRS

You can get the UV-5G Plus GMRS Radio here: amzn.to/44bKHtV
Get a TidRadio TD-H3 GMRS radio here: amzn.to/3UdaKwa
CORRECTION : The UV-5G Plus 2-Pack DOES include a programming cable. Please accept my mostest sincere apology for this mistake.
By popular demand, I compare the Tidradio TD-H3 GMRS radio to the Baofeng UV-5G Plus GMRS radio. Both of these GMRS walkie-talkies are new to the market and both the Baofeng and the TidRadio have a lot of great features. In this video I compare the most important features of these two low-cost GMRS radios, as determined by ME, the world-famous queen of GMRS.

Hate the political crap behind you...but thanks for steering me away from your channel. I need to watch and learn without being distracted with political bs.

What a sad life a person must have to choose to get so triggered and so distracted by nothing more than a photo on the wall.

Baaahahahahaha! What a crybaby!

Sad indeed...... Now, back to our regularly scheduled program. (Thanks dude)

Get Well soon Conrad, The channel just isn't the same without him.

[@BigInjun05]

Laughed way too hard when he took time to straighten out his pencil just to hit it immediately.

Wishing the Chef good health soon! Loved the old Henry Ford Model A quote about any color as long as its Black! lol

[@jeffvaughn9450]

A quick and full recovery to Chef Conrad, and a standing ovation for the VS review. “Roger Beep”

[@ChicagoTarnow]

I enjoy looking at pictures on the computer screen behind you, especially the sniffer and his son with two friends. New viewer.

[@TheNotaRubicon]

Thanks! and thanks for watching.

[@kennethparker2168]

I hope the chef gets well soon we can't live without them I enjoy your channels thoroughly and I'm new to the Hobby so it has been very helpful

[@ggariepy]

I got the UG5G Plus based on his review. Not disappointed.

[@ChrisBrown-fs6kl]

I feel very conflicted over the realization that I actually get the meaning of that shirt. On a side note, I have both of these radios, and both out performed my other gmrs radios. And if I had to choose only one, then it would be the Tid H-3.

[@TWiumph]

I hope this doesn't offend you, but I thoroughly enjoy your reviews...and your style. (The way you can annoy the OCD crowd is priceless.)

[@cohocarl]

Get well Conrad and back on your feets soon!

[@shawnmcclelland9061]

Best shirt to date

[@daviddemand6856]

Get well Conrad! Keep up the quality content Randy! Everything about this channel keeps me wanting more. I learn while having a laugh and decoding the photo’s potential meaning in the background.

[@alanadams2018]

You’ve been such a big help to me as I’ve just got into GMRS. Thanks so much for your help as things can get confuculated 😂. Also, praying for Chef Conrad!

Get Well Chef Conrad! May your Hot Cross Buns never get burned.

Get well soon Conrad! We need you to help with the fars analysis.

[@ianhardin1148]

Thanks for the comparison video. I ordered the 2 pack TDH3 after your previous video on it (my first GMRS radio). Its going to take a month for them to arrive so I have plenty of time to get a permission slip.

[@rokketsurgery]

The chewed up pencil is a hilarious addition, but no substitution for Conrad. Great review!

[@philipstaite4775]

Hope Chef Conrad makes a speedy recovery! Chef - don't hesitate, self-medicate! Preferably an Irish whiskey aged 12+ years... A week or so ago I got an H3 to see what all the fuss is about. Great little radio, rapidly became my favorite low cost HT. I use it in ham mode and it is noticeably better than my now several years old UV-5R. Seems to hit a local repeater slightly better, it has air band RX, better display (not hard to beat a UV-5R display though), and is more straightforward to program from the keypad. So easy in fact I haven't bothered connecting it to CHIRP.

[@bendeleted9155]

Good info. Thank you. 👍

[@magwhyte]

Get well, Chef. It is thus demanded.

[@heatshield]

If I was with the Tidwang crew, I would be infinitely pleased with this completely unbiased and professional breakdown.

[@DavidHooverJr]

Thank you for a great comparison video, informative and entertaining. Get well, Chef.

Dude yer sense of humor is spot on. Man I would love to hang out some time (non-creepy)… lol. What a blast. Also get well soon Chef Conrad….

I heard and saw nothing after “dripping”. The laughing was uncontrollable and nearly did me in. Perfectly executed, well done. 👍

I cannot measure the excitement that I was one of the first ten to view this video. I am unwavering on my commitment to the Boo whang UV-5R!

Damnit Conrad, GET WELL! (Soon)

[@nickl3872]

Get well soon chef!

[@SuperG7one3]

lol at the end. I've somehow collected 32 different HT now and these two are definitely standout favorites of mine as well. I put a 5/8 slim duck smiley on my h3 and it's possibly the perfect machine. But the old man in me loves the big buttons and pretty screen on the plus (and 5rm and k5 and 5r max). Picked up a few uv17 pro gps and learned how they work via 20 different youtube vids, definitely a strong contender. Pretty excited to see the newest chinah trends on the way over the last few weeks. Keep it up sir, big fan

KMG365? Wasn’t that Squad 51 station.

Yep! I think it was all of L.A. County fire, but most likely since went to a different licence under P25 and like other depts, probably hold the old license in reserve.

May Conrad have a quick recovery, being vital as he is to helping Randy conduct his tests. As for which radio, I received my TIDRadio TD-H3 one week ago, and I’m going to be ordering my Baofeng UV-5G Plus, very soon. I decided I need BOTH. 🤣 Affiliated link USED, of course.

[@bigjack428]

Nicely done side by side comparison. I'd like to see more of these. Tell Conrad to get better so he can tell me how to unlock my Kenwood walkie-talkie. 69s... (hoping that I didn't just trigger any sad people)

[@ernestbeckley]

Chef Conrad...get well soon!

[@philc6670]

I played around with the TD-H3 frequency/tone scanning yesterday and discovered it rarely got the DCS tone correct. I transmitted from two different UV-5R’s, a UV-9R Pro, a BTECH GMRS-50V2, and a BTECH UV-50X2 and it got the DCS tone correct less than 10% of the time. I even tried separating the radios by about 15 feet and with walls between. I use all these radios to hit local repeaters which use split DCS tones and never had an issue getting in, so I think the radios are squirting good tones. The TD did, however, nail the Tx frequency 100% of the time and accurately detected CTCSS frequency when I randomly tested across the range of those tones.

[@RealDevinPerry]

You have the best radio KZbin channel around! Can you do a review of the Anytone 878UV2+ ? I have one and I love it! And I most definitely do not use it on GMRS channels because that would be illegal…

[@Matenorgan]

I got a td-h3 and it came with 3 antennas. Quite a good deal.

Thanks!

You are correct sir, and I realized that mine did as well after uploading the video.. A correction has been added to the More-Info section.

Truly enjoy and appreciate your content and delivery! GMRS is new to me but I know what's what thanks to you. Here's my sad ham impersonation ... ahem .... "FCC ULS shows callsign KMG365 hailing from a single base station @ 154.4300 in Los Angeles County, attn Gary Poon" ... huh huh, poon ...

The power of Randolpho! TD-H3s at the Amazons are backordered a month. Da..it Conrad - get well

[@javabeanz8549]

Well that's odd, I just pulled them up, with coupon $39 with two batteries, estimated delivery date is only 10 days out. That might not get Randy the small kickback though. So if you want to give Randy his little share, wait, otherwise.... It comes in the unlocked mode, so you have to hold the PTT, press the star key and turn it on, and then select option 2, then hit the blue button, it will reboot and you will be in GMRS mode.

@javabeanz8549 If you shop using an Amazon Influencer link, it stores a cookie locally for -a time- 24 hours, so anything you buy in that current session gets credited to the influencer whose link you used. I'm an Amazon video influencer myself, so I know it works.

"for a time" = 24 hours.

[@KI5UMX]

I found the H3 radio for only $33 on Amazon and $31 on the Tidradio website.😌

[@TheNotaRubicon]

When price-shopping it is important to compare what comes in the box - they sell about 10 different bundles, bare-bones "just the radio and a battery" being the least expensive.

[@travislyon7046]

Love it. I have been using some Uv5G+ radios for a hot minute…i just ordered a single Tiddy H3 to try out. I’m sure I’ll appreciate it in the same ways as my boofs. I’ll let your imagination wander now…🍻👍🤠
