How to set tone and offset using Bluetooth software? Tidradio h8. Thanks

@ADMIND3R 7 месяцев назад

yea i cant find a way to program offset anywhere in the software, which is ridiculous and makes the software basically useless. im going to have todo it all by hand

@d.j.roberts187 4 месяца назад

Select the “DEC” and “ENC” options. DEC is decode.. it has options in the scroll down for dcs and ctcss in the drop down. ENC is the same but for transmit

I need to up load to my Tidradio h8 from my UV-5R on chirp but the upload is grayed out Can you upload from a Baofang to a tidradio

@GadgetTalk4U 8 месяцев назад

Not sure. Normally, brands have different database structures so the data is not interoperable. I've seen some conversion conversations but not sure how it works. You may have to have both displays open and do some cut and paste cell by cell. Comment when you figure it out. Good Luck.

I just got my H8 and loaded the ODMASTER. I ran into a problem, the channel 55 won't allow me to enter a TX frequency. The computer app showed a circle in the cursor with I go to highlight the TX frequency. I reconfirmed the TX frequency is a GMRS frequency. Any ideas

@GadgetTalk4U 10 месяцев назад

Some GMRS radios limit do it yourself channels to channels 31 to 54. If the first 54 can accept transmitter channels, that's likely the issue. The manual says there are 154 rx only channels and 11 WX channels. With the 30 basic GMRS channels, that about fills up 200 channels. Good luck. Cheers.

@timhargrove6493 10 месяцев назад

@GadgetTalk4U I guess it would have been good to let customers know that 200 channels is limited to configuring repeater channels to those. OH well, Amazon has good return policies. Thanks

@GadgetTalk4U 10 месяцев назад

I did a video about a year ago on the Gadget Talk channel about using the CPS to program a GMRS radio. It covers this issue and how different vendors deal with it. Unless you travel a lot, that number of GMRS repeater channels should be plenty. Cheers.

@timhargrove6493 10 месяцев назад

@GadgetTalk4U You're right and I guess I was just disappointed with just being able to put all my travel freq's into the radio, but there is always a work around. With the Bluetooth app, I am going to breakdown areas of my travels so I can just sync my areas when needed with the HT. But please let me know of an HT that might work better. Thanks again.

1 try to set the frequency 155.500 and saved it ti memory. whenh i try to key the mike, it says cancel. i dont get it.

@GadgetTalk4U 2 месяца назад

That is not an authorized GMRS channel. You can listen, but not transmit.

@garv25 9 месяцев назад

MY wife bought this radio to use a scanner, for police emergency etc. will this radio do this? I have zero experience and feel clueless about this radio. Came in a 2 pack. thank you.

@GadgetTalk4U 9 месяцев назад

Look up your emergency service's frequencies online. There are a couple of sites with that info. Use those frequencies. The problem is many departments use digital techniques or what are called trunked systems. You'll need a dedicated scanner for those. Some departments still use analog FM signals, but fewer and fewer.

@user-qu2yg9lj3n 17 дней назад

I have a TD-H8 GMRS radio and when using the ODMaster program with bluetooth setting up a local repeater (example: 462.67500 with tx set to 467.67500) and save the configuration it automatically changes the tx frequency back to math the rx frequency... any suggestions?

@GadgetTalk4U 11 дней назад

I tried that, too and think the issue is that once you've set the receive frequency to the proper repeater channel, close your phones keyboard and use the dropdown box in the transmit line to select the corresponding transmit frequency in the 467 megahertz range. This works for simplex channels too if you want one with a particular CTCSS or DSC code. FCC rules don't allow user inputs of transmit frequencies in GMRS radios, so this drop down limits transmit frequencies to GMRS frequencies only. Cheers.

@user-qu2yg9lj3n 11 дней назад

@@GadgetTalk4U When I place the radio in VFO mode before downloading to the app it leaves it in the RX frequency but I found that it does set the channel offset to +5.000. Thanks for checking into it.

@moonlightguitars 5 месяцев назад

Anyone know if the baofeng programming cable works with the tidradio h8?

@GadgetTalk4U 5 месяцев назад

Yes, and yes.

@ron5454 9 месяцев назад

Can you update the firmware on the Tid H8?

@GadgetTalk4U 9 месяцев назад

Yes. Check walkietalkiesoftware.com or contact them for a link.

@shikaotewarrior 5 дней назад

So, the repeater list in the app is only for HAM?

@GadgetTalk4U 5 дней назад

The source for the list includes ham predominantly. The radio first came out as a ham radio. So... sadly, yes. Keep in mind GMRS is a US only service.

@mikieppp 2 месяца назад

Your tutorial is great! until I get to the OD web app. I have a TD H8(unlocked) and can't figure out how to make it talk to the radio. I have the app,but I have no cables - just bluetooth

@GadgetTalk4U 2 месяца назад

I see a couple of things have changed on the OD master web display. At the bottom of the display if you open a configuration file, it now has import and export buttons for a .csv file and Bluetooth read and write. There is also a bluetooth connect at the top of the page. I think this will require a bluetooth transmitter in your computer. You can also import the .csv to Chirp. You are limited if you don't have a programming cable though. What I'd recommend is using the web page to type in all your channels and then save them. Use the OD master app on the phone to transfer the data to your radio. You'll need an OD Master account to sync the smartphone app to the web page, though. Cheers.

Yeah but is it a superheterodyne or soc?

@nypigskin 8 месяцев назад

The mic gain is in the app. You have to click on the function tab and scroll down to the bottom of the page. It's like the third or fourth item up from the bottom of the page. It comes factory set at 15.

@mikemurphy9753 8 месяцев назад

No help at all because you fail to mention what type of programming cable to use and where to plug it up for PC programming

@GadgetTalk4U 8 месяцев назад

Try this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R34gAaE-8a4.htmlsi=Ygno0ueCUOlIqrH0 I need to assume a certain level of understanding or the videos would be too long. Sorry.
