Ahh, so this is the previous model by TCA, had one myself. At first I thought you were doing a review on the latest 2023 model with inbuilt GPS receiver, which I have now instead - it definitely does not do APRS I'm afraid, but is a nice radio nonetheless
@@OopsieAI believe the one he’s reviewing is an older model from 2017 they recently updated it this year the one he has it just a fake antenna but on the new radio it’s a real gps module
use any 18650 battery you wish- streamlight batteries are good quality, but you certainly pay a premium unless you find them on sale. I bought a set of 6 18650's with charger from fleabay and charge them outside of the radios.
I did the same damn thing with the Tri KDU recently… I noticed you said the pin out is different… wonder if it’d be possible to modify the pin out to work with the TCA? Apparently the new TCAs from 2023 are “KDU compatible”… assuming that means no TCAs were before 2023…?
@@abccde3832 yeah I recently had to come to grips with the fact I’m just going to have to buy another radio to be able to use the KDU like I was hoping to… ballllls.
Chinese competitors I guess. What I'm trying to say that between different brands there is very little need or wish to make kdus cross compatible. @@IvyMike551
