TidRadio TD-H3 GMRS & Ham Radio Follow-Up & How To Do More With The TDH3 GMRS & Ham Radio

[@rayschromm538]

I'm hoping someday either Baofeng or TidRadio will include a poop-scoop on their radios..

[@TheNotaRubicon]

I assume this is your way of saying these radios are 'poop' ? If so, then why would you come and watch a video about them?

[@kchaney56]

I think perhaps a piece of "sliced ham" would be better.

[@photog1529]

C'mon, man...its 'Boof-Wang'. Ya gotta get with the program. 😁

[@charliedelta1136]

Maybe he just has a few dozen cats

[@RealFigureEight]

I bought two right now because of you, never change Rubicon, never change.

[@randlecarr3257]

Not a Rubicon!

[@tinybadastronaut]

I went and bought myself one in the Crystal Clear color. 🤩

[@ezdevil23]

Yea, me too ......and a few others.... wife thinks im crazy.

[@citizenatlrge]

@@tinybadastronaut wtf are you going to do w/just one? Make sometin' sunny side up? Over. Easy.

[@robertwynn7686]

Im a newly GMRS licenced operator and I bought the H-3 last week (based on your review) and i love it. Thanks for producing the most down to earth reviews for the common users, plus i put my wrist strap on and went to the mall and all the chicks were impressed 😂😂😂

[@rollyknevels3570]

That is right.

[@matthewb8229]

Thumbs up for the Ferris Bueller opening.

[@drakeeblis1788]

I was, ham operator licensed ,as a general class for over 40 years... Eyeball, sir, to your knowledge, because you my friend are far more informed than any licensed "ham operator"‼️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

I tried the link to the invisible one but I can't see it...

[@CelinaBooth]

How do I activate the scramble mode on a h3 radio

[@steverolfeca]

I don't know how you balance humour and useful information so well, but I'm glad that you do. My son and I are enjoying a pair of TDH3's after applying the latest firmware update!

[@jobu9224]

I bought five on your review. and the whole family loves them. Sons are fighter jockey and with the AM band antenna they can hear everything going on at work.

[@philipstaite4775]

I live near an airport, and I bought one of the bundles with a dedicated air-band antenna. Works at least as well as my other (more expensive) HT that is air band capable. Not sure the antenna makes that much difference. Seems to work equally well with either the air-band or the usual rubber duck antenna. Note, I haven't tried using the air band antenna to TX on any GMRS or ham frequencies.

[@summerwindcharters1326]

Hands down the funniest review yet! Like repeatedly pressing the PPT key and saying no one could tell, meanwhile, watching the screen light up.....🤣 you're toooooo much!

[@rticul8862]

It was hilarious watching all of the radios in the background light up 😂

[@AndrewB416]

I ended up getting two TD-H3s up here in Canuckistan. Thank you for making these videos.

[@jobu9224]

The other night I was listening in on the two security guards at hospital flirting with each other.

[@steverolfeca]

@@jobu9224 TMI... 🙂

[@steverolfeca]

I got a pair too, along with 2 charging stands and a pair each of the GMRS and air-band tuned NA771 antennas, just for fun. Shipping from the TID Radio store stateside crossed the border fairly quickly, build quality way better than I expected, and performance seems pretty good on the latest firmware. Thank you to @notarubicon for the excellent reviews and tutorials!

[@briannagorman3119]

I forgot to mention that I smile every time you use your pointer.

[@Sharkman6275]

You, my friend, are quickly becoming a contender for my "Favorite" KZbins personalities!! Besides being very informative, they are absolutely hilarious!! I can hardly watch you videos without laughing and crying out loud, at the same time!!

[@TubTub32]

why did i just find your channel.... this is the most unhinged shit ive seen in a while i love it!

[@MichaelRachal]

I think you are one of the true talents on this platform. You'd be at or above 1M subs if you did anything mainstream. Keep up the hard work - KZbin Superstar!

[@Huskrrrr]

Thank you for another great video. I'm no longer a newbie radio enthusiast. I enjoy reading all the comments, we seem to be a nice group of knuckleheads.

[@Proaman-js2qv]

I've been slowly working on my comms skills and just wanted to say that you sir, make the subject much more palatable. Thank you.

[@adrianditucci4375]

Thanks for this update, helped clear up the HAM/GMRS/Normal modes - how Normal mode works. Good add on the phone Bluetooth programming! Cannot wait to try it. Keep up the reviews and making us laugh along the way.

[@shawnharper3440]

I was going with a BFeng and changed my mind and ordered a pair of these. Great content, thank you.

LOL, here's the fucking flashlight. Love it

[@chrisbrandt3642]

Thanks a lot for making me wait I just got mine today! Funny you also released a video as well. Now to order the 10W units.

[@shockburn]

Just purchased 2 TD-h3s in the clear case. Awesome radios. Working on a chirp file for them right now. I was very impressed with the TD-h8s so thought I would give them a go, and glad I did. They are much gooder than the uv5r.

You are awesome Randy you always make me laugh. In a world full of ignorant people this laughter is greatly needed.

[@user-kq3te5tq6p]

These radios work much better than others I have that were much more expensive. Love the channel Randy!

[@DudehamMcGee]

😂I DIED laughing when you put your phone on the table. The apps are comedy genius!

man didn't even take an hour for the pinned comment to go up dude must have just been waiting for Randy to post another video so he could be the winner this time lol!

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Thanks for taking the time to provide a semi-quasi-coulda-shoulda-woulda update revision amendment video. Very helpful indeed methinks.

Ive got a couple now. Got a few friends to finally upgrade their old Buophangs as well. Awesome little radio.

[@e.c.8668]

"I won't pull the trigger and transmit on the HAM frequencies because..." [then curiously all the radios behind him light up] Classic. u-tooberie jenius!!

[@bryanrichey6840]

I always appreciate the thorough reviews, peppered with your wit, intentional mispronunciation of words, sarcasm, etc. That said, when you were covering “Blueteeths” programming, I was laughing my ass off over here looking at the other apps on the phone. Great attention to detail. 🤪🤣 Educational and entertaining. 👍🏻

Awesome video...love your reviews

[@marcadams67]

My wife is impressed with the “two-finger” feature.

[@VA3HDL]

I love your pencil pointer 😂

[@MightyYaks]

An interesting use of the dual PTT buttons would be a "2-stage" transmit function whereby both buttons must be pressed (to avoid accidentally kerchunking when carrying the radio in a pocket, backpack, etc.). Could probably be implemented with a software update. Would be really nice for radios to start featuring PTT button "lockout" in menu options.

[@roadrunner800]

Ordered mine today cant wait to get it....

[@ForemanJF1]

Ahh good stuff just grabbed two TD-H3 instead of the UV-5RM... Your videos are great at 1.5x payback speed.

[@F16_viper_pilot]

Regarding programming simplex channels, I had issues with the Tidradio PC software, where I was unable to set the transmit frequency and it would default to the +5mhz repeater input frequency. There was no ability to enter a transmit frequency to override this and no dropdown was presented for transmit frequencies like the dropdowns for receive frequencies. I overcame this issue by using the Odmaster app on the phone. When I tried programming my Tidradio TD-M11 radios, I did not have an issue being able to enter transmit frequencies through the Tidradio PC software.

[@ricdonato4328]

Ah yes, a few days after your review I ordered the two-pack. TD shows mine will be delivered June 13-ish; oh well not a big deal. Update, today 2024-05-27, the TD H3 two pack arrived.

[@Jekagu]

Great picture on the background ))

[@azshark1942]

Very informative content, I did purchase a Radio to check it out. Thanks for your time and expertise.

[@ThePewski]

I got my 2 pack of green after waiting over a month or so. Had my daughter walk to the otherside of the neighborhood and the sound quality is awesome! I had my son and daughter talking on the scramble mode while i listened on another radio and couldnt understand what they were saying, thats cool! Didnt know about normal mode, thats gonna happen. I also didnt know these are boofwang's. At least thats what the manual states. Bitchen little radios, thanks Randy!

[@LastManStanding.45]

Great follow-up vid. I ❤my "dark-colored" TD-H3 even tho I had to wait for it.

I've been watching for years awesome job. Ive learned a lot from your video's. Sarcasm is on point.

[@ptsoris]

Always best presentation! I think i wrote it again, but will repeat it here in your new video. Despite the fact that it can receive RF electricities starting on 18 till 500 mhz, in the range of 27 does not receive any of my phonetics via my cb at a fars of 1 meter or more. In fars less than that, it definitely grabs some of my cb's spurious emmissions.

Try an antenna that is tuned for 27Mhz..

Another great video, Randy. I purchased one as well. Thanks.

[@nunosapunso6239]

The Rx Hop is basically TIDRadios version of quickly enabling a privacy tone/privacy code without having to manually set a CTCSS or DCS code between H3 handsets. As long as the user(s) enabled Rx Hop on both H3 handsets, you’ll be able to receive each others transmission. I’m not sure why they titled that feature that way because users will think it’s frequency hopping which this HT doesn’t have. Maybe it does hop to different CTCSS or DCS codes automatically between H3 handsets but I’m not sure if there is a way to check.

[@F16_viper_pilot]
