I notice that in my TD-H3 running in GMRS mode, it doesnt allow me to change the offset or the direction. I think that is because I have the latest firmware. Pretty sure it let me do it in the stock version it came with but also I read somewhere that with GMRS, it's always +5 so I think TID-Radio must have changed their firmware to not let you edit it. As it is right now, when I press PTT, you can see it jumps from 462 to 467 automatically even though my offset is showing no direction and 00.00000. Can someone please confirm this? Firmware Im using is 240702.
Thanks for this helpful video. One suggestion I have is to begin any discussion about connecting to repeaters with a comment that states “Start by setting your radio’s frequency to the transmitter frequency of the repeater. Then set your radio’s transmit frequency offset so that when you push the PTT button, your radio transmits at the repeaters receive frequency. Note that depending on the repeater, the offset of your radio may need to be positive or negative and in rare situations zero.”
The FCC says it’s not in the public’s interest. When did they poll the public ? They usually make their decisions from what a particular manufacturer asks for. GMRS is growing, when will the FCC start servicing the public demand. We need more channels. Why not give GMRS a UHF APRS channel to send text messages ? It won’t cost the FCC a penny. It would be up the the GMRS community to erect digipeaters for this channel solely to send safety messages back home when out camping and hiking. Ham operators operating on UHF could also make use of this network augmenting their VHF APRS network of digipeaters. With all of the newer radios being software programmable, they could easily have an additional channel added in firmware. The FCC needs to add 10 more channels to the UHF MURS band, and combine their use into 1 radio with GMRS. The people have spoken, we want solutions to our increased use of the outdoors. In addition to recreation we want solutions for preppers as this world has increased worries about storm and other environmental catastrophes.
We bought three radios. I've been trying for over a week doing this process that I just watched over and over. They're still not talking to each other. All of the frequencies are exactly the same. All of the arrows are exactly the same. All of the menu items that you showed have been completed the way you've done them. I can't seem to figure out why they won't talk to each other. It's just three radios.
Thank you for the video if I save the frequency and repeater on the channel 31 and the frequency is the same from 15 to 22 where are I going to PT on the channel frequency or channel 31 where I save my repeater repeater thank you
How does the bluetooth work? I have a cheap Baofeng that has FM radio. So it can listen to FM radio and if someone broadcasts it interrupts the radio to allow any transmission to be audible. Would I be listen to listen to podcasts I play from my phone on the radio and then it will interrupt the podcast to broadcast any transmission like with FM radio?
Did'nt work on mine. I can set the NAME, or FREQ, or CHANNEL to either line but can't get it to sync so that changing the channel on the second line auto changes the top line to the assigned FREQ.
They just came out with the BTech UV Pro. I'm looking forward to learning more about that one as well. I have always wished there was a Ham variant of the GMRS Pro, mostly for the PTT and Bluetooth audio capabilities.
Well, I’m looking for videos that show me step-by-step how to do it because I’m pulling my hair over here even with the manual . It’s so confusing. I have the TD radio eight to generation if you can help me out, I would appreciate it.
I just got the Tidradio H3. It also has the scramble mode. I was pretty impressed when I tested it out. Don’t know when I’ll use it but it’s a nice feature to have on a GMRS radio. GMRS is quickly becoming the dominant it all field radio platform
