I appreciated “the World’s Fastest Unboxing”. Other RU-vidrs take note.

@temporarilyoffline Месяц назад

I simultaneously hate them and also realize that you need to know what's missing with most ham gear so you can get it on the air after you purchase it.

Tadaaaaaa!

@cathodd2442 Месяц назад

Ive had a couple of these for a few months now. Not really any complaints so far once i threw a signal stick on it. Battery life is good, range is good for what it is, and all the features are nice. Definitely a step up from a baofeng in almost every aspect for almost the same price. The included antenna is straight junk like most rubber duckies.

@temporarilyoffline Месяц назад

They are making progress pretty fast. Should be interesting to see where we land in a year.

@TomT73 Месяц назад

@@temporarilyoffline I am holding off a while - 3-6 months - to see if they are really updating the H3s to be legal. Will likely buy three at that time - two for GMRS and one for vehicle ham use. Crossing fingers, Steve, that maybe this will work out. Love the form factor and features.

Best unboxing ever!😂 I love my H3's, they're up there with my Wouxun KGUV9PX. The clear case is now my first choice if available. Not great for stealth but I'm no radicalised paranoid tactical camo prepper freak.😂 Thnx T.O. 😁👍🇦🇺⁷³

@n7kme Месяц назад

Steve, please indulge an old and slow ham, what are the dimensions of your little “ground plane gizmo” that you use to check the swr of the rubber duck style antennas? Does anyone sell that little widget? If not, what did you make it out of? Thanks in advance 😊

@temporarilyoffline Месяц назад

Good question - they don't sell it anymore and I need to update the test tig as a result. It's a thin piece of aluminum that works as a ground plane. It is 4.5x6.5in. The update would be to make a "tiger tail" for each 2m and 70cm that is a quarter wave and use that instead.

@Hank_W6IR Месяц назад

I'm sure we've all seen W6LG's video where he bought a 2 pack of this radio. One met specs, one didn't. YMMV

@temporarilyoffline Месяц назад

Exactly!

@Rusty-Williams Месяц назад

I sent my H3 back to Amazon because #1 the second PTT was so touchy it would TX with a slight touch. Then you press a little harder, it would quit TXing then press even harder and it would click and start TX again. I couldn't pick it up off of a table without TXing on the sub band. Second issue was on high power mine was only TXing at 3.8 watts on 2m but a full 5+ on 70cm into a dummy load. The third issue was it's first harmonic was just above the FCC limits. I could have overlooked the harmonic but that sub band PTT issue was the deal breaker.

@timdietz350 Месяц назад

regarding the squelch adjustment, it's not a live adjustment so you have to commit the choice to see what it sounds like. So 2 may have worked before going to 3, you have to click save to check.

@temporarilyoffline Месяц назад

Thanks!

@n7kme 5 дней назад

Ok Steve, after watching you and a couple other ham radio you tubers, I have succumbed to what you referred to as “gear acquisition syndrome” (good one) just purchased a 2 pack of the TD-H3 radios. Now my wife (who is also a licensed ham) is pissed at you as well as a couple other folks like Freddie Mac. For that I thank you since it takes the heat off me for a while.

I picked up a Tidradio h3 a few months after my Quansheng. I played with it for 2 days. I thought the programming options sounded cool but I found them meh. Went back to the Quansheng and still enjoying it.

@temporarilyoffline Месяц назад

I think the Quansheng is where its at! Other vendors should take note here. To Tinker is To Ham

@danc7904 Месяц назад

The Tidradio link you gave appears to show two included antennas; one connected and one extra. Did you get two? I've seen other reviews where a second antenna was included under the box material.

@temporarilyoffline Месяц назад

I couldn't find a link to my exact model as shipped - they frequently change models/included parts. Its frustrating.

@user-zk2yd6xm8s Месяц назад

Basically 5 watt radio based on the dummy load test. With the rubber duck it's in a power fold back condition in spite of the beauty ground plane you have most graciously provide.

@temporarilyoffline Месяц назад

Yep, you're picking up what I'm putting down.

@vitogriffin8902 Месяц назад

When it gave you the "yes" or "not" option to unlock the freq, to select "yes", press the menu key, not the 1 key.

@@temporarilyoffline interesting. In the video it wasn't unlocked when you pressed 1, and I had the same experience with mine. When I did it again and pressed menu it was unlocked.

@Nismor2 Месяц назад

It be nice if other cheap radio manufacturers open up the firmware like the Quansheng , let the community improve and add features. When Quansheng comes out with a radio with color screen and a little more ram, they gonna sell a lot. The community has added spectrum analyzer and waterfall to a $30 dollar radio. it's crazy.

@temporarilyoffline Месяц назад

Just imagine if the big three were paying attention...

I received a TD-H3 last week with DTMF keypad malfunctions and other problems. I wrote to TIDRADIO and also made a video with all the problems. They said they'll replace it for me but at the moment all is quiet. Let's see the seriousness of this company.

@temporarilyoffline Месяц назад

I think you'll be impressed. They are very persistent with us on this side. If not, a swift Amazon return will take care of it also.
