How can I update the TD-H3 from a Mac Computer?

[@Ccerastes]

Thanks! No problem using this method. Now to figure out the rest of the manual. Perhaps a series explaining the manual? That’d be helpful as I’m a visual learner…

[@m7frs272]

Thanks for watching and glad you found it useful. I'll try and find time to maybe do a video manual.

@@m7frs272 Thanks for the consideration. I may not be the only visual learner following your channel…

Just installed the 240606 with your tutorial. I only had to wait a bit for Windows to install the drivers for the CH340 chip

How do i know to download Ham, GMRS or Unlocked?

[@leonfisher]

I don't get zip files, but rar file. Extracting that file will not open.

[@Droodog127]

I had to download a trial copy of winzip 🤐 got another one 7 zip file manager for free but may as well use the 30 day free winzip

[@EvanSmith4211]

I can't get communication ports to work. Keeps saying open port fail. Any ideas?

[@benblais302]

Something is happening ; wonder if I need the driver

[@aaronbradshaw3839]

How do i get it to transmit on 1.25m? I see the option for 200 in the menu but it wont let me store any channels

[@mpbaugh]

Is the scan speed any faster? Thanks

[@pwesley5854]

Just update my firmware for my TD-H3 now the screen is blank and nothing works. Second time this has happened. Love the radio but this is getting super annoying. Anyone else having this issue? I am using the TD-H3 cable that comes with the radio. Help please!

[@m7frs272]

I'd recommend dropping a message to TidRadio support via their website. They are quite helpful. Thanks for watching, and I hope you get it sorted 👍

My hd3 has a receive delay when using repeaters if I key up on the local repeater and give my call sign then de key it takes a second to hear any thing back from the repeater any ideas

[@m7frs272]

I've not experienced that, but I wonder if it's something to do with the tail squelch eliminator? Try turning it off if it's currently on. I'd send TidRadio a message as they are very helpful I have found. Thanks for watching 👍

[@2j4ez]

@@m7frs272 I’ll have a play but it doesn’t do it on simplex though

[@wielkopolaninn]

I have TD H3 FM radio reception is very poor, do you have a similar problem?

[@m7frs272]

I haven't noticed an issue, but I am very close to a FM broadcast transmitter. Thanks for watching 👍

[@ScottPatton44]

Regardless of which download link I proceed to, I get a different software, I think it's CPS? I can't get the firmware download. Could anyone validate the download links?

[@brad4793]

i cant get this to work either, it only give me a tuneup download that does nothing for me

[@ScottPatton44]

@@brad4793 I figured out my problem. The Windows 11 extract of the .rar file was missing files. I downloaded WinRAR and it extracted properly, all updated to 5/30 firmware.

[@mandh14]

Hey Ben are you going to give Meshtastic a try? Few users in Lowey.

[@m7frs272]

I haven't yet, buy I probably should give it a go lol

[@Knarf14]

So whats the difference with these updates ?

[@WUTDUPDOE]

Menu 56 added scan all bands you're thanos

[@WUTDUPDOE]

If you have 53 instead if 56 menu items you haven't taken the red pill

[@charlesdup6803]

You never told us what version you down loaded. I down loaded 2024-5-24 the other day, is there a newer one!!!

[@mandh14]

You can see the bin file in the video

[@charlesdup6803]

That version must not be available in the US. The latest I can download is 2024-4-30. Thanks for the reply!

[@djmambito2]

@BenM7FRS ... NOT USEFULL ... how can you do a firmware update and dont care about what the changes or inprovements are.

[@terryshrives8322]

There are plenty of videos telling you the fixes this update has made.
