The best unlocked radio! Tidradio TD-H3 (The Baofeng Killer) 

Hard to kill Baofang when Quansheng killed it months ago.

I've got a pair of these on their way to me. Can't wait to get them. Looks to be an excellent set for the price. You should to a video with a nice clickbait title "Is this the Baofeng UV-5G Killer??!!" or something, lol. Would get a lot of traffic on that. Subscribed!

Well im not sure, in my opinion quansheng is in many ways a better ,cheaper and a cleaner equipment in their transmission harmonics. This one is close to 7 dolars more expensive than quansheng, and for that price and a little more you could add the last hardware mode to the unit and expand their reception range. In my experience, those chinese blacks screen are hard to read in broad sun light.

I Think the quansheng UVK-5-6 R ect with one of the top 3 firmwares is a country mile in front of that 018.000-1300.000 scanning range not to mention the rest. I use F4HWN v2.7 and it's a cracking firmware

How's the screen on these in bright sunlight? Poor legibility would be a deal breaker for a radio imo.

Excellent content. Thank you

The td h3 doeskt blow the bff8hp away. This tdh3 cant reafh the same repeaters my bff8 can. Has much less power according to my equipment.

Thanks for a great video. I have a pair of TD-H3 radios arriving in the mail today. Already I have had positive contact with TIDRADIO regarding my concerns of the OTA wireless clone frequency being hard set to 423.975 MHz on all configurations of this radio. Here in Australia 420 - 430 MHz have been taken by the Police and Emergency Service using P25 networks. Also I questioned the legality of that frequency for the GMRS configured radios. Within days TIDRADIO confirmed there will be a future update where the OTA wireless clone frequency will be user configurable. Kudos to TIDRADIO for being so receptive to their customers.

Great video. I have had mine for a few weeks and it is so much better and user friendly than the UV-5R. I am a GMRS user and I like the fact that with the Odmaster app, you can program and name any channel for RX but it restricts TX to only GMRS frequencies. I have a variety of local emergency service and air band channels programmed in to scan through. I was able to update the firmware with the USB cable and didn’t need to get a kenwood cable.

Hello M7 EUP (sorry but don't know your name) Great video promotion of this item, Unfortunately, I think you have been lucky with your gift from TIDRADIO. I bought one after watching your presentation only to be disappointed when it arrived a long time later. I am wondering what version of the TD-H3 they sent you as mine came with a damaged box no charging cradle and no mains plug. TIDRADIO told me one is not provided with the radio, even though there is a compartment in the box ? And, all the RU-vid videos similar to yours shows a cradle in the box. It must be like buying a new house, the show home looks great, but the rest of them are rubbish. Sorry but wont be recommending a TIDRADIO to anybody else as their, service, is poor. Congrats on your callsign and the 450d is a nice radio. Cheers.

I totally agree. If you're buying a budget analogue-only Chinese radio today then this is the best performing and easy to program. Tech support in China is most excellent and responsive. Real people solved an issue I had. The front end is both sensitive and selective. First there was Baofeng, then came Quansheng and now its Tidradio.

I love it. ODmaster works fine with mine once you learn how to use it. Updated the firmware after watching one of your videos, very easy. Caveat to the firmware update, I couldn't get it to take unless I had the radio in channel mode before turning it on, frequency mode wouldn't work idk why. And make sure you download the firmware that's applicable to what mode you have your phone set in i.e. ham, gmrs or unlocked. Example: if you try uploading firmware for the ham mode and your phone is in gmrs mode you just might brick your phone. Currently running unlocked (normal) firmware vers. 240702 in unlocked (normal) mode. Cheers!

Have one on the way I’m stoked to try it out..Cheap and really good value I use to use one back n the day when cellphones where not for everyones pocket,prices have gone way down then I remember...

I updated the firmware using the USB port and cable supplied without any problems.

Look at the control board. Tell me if it says “BF” on it

It has everything you might need. Large solid battery, integrated programming chip, even Bluetooth, integrated USB-C charging. I wish there was a monochrome screen so I can monitor it without turning on the screen. Anyways. Top purchase. I have 3 already.

Great video, the discount code does not work.

Just got it 👍 if this was a Japan radio it would cost 500 euro ❤

Another informative video,,,,thanks. Do you know if the 8.33 Khz channel spacing and all the other stuff apply to the H8 model too? Also do they do any digital handies....in fact what is your opiniom on digital hand helds? Plus that fan or whatever it is in the backgroung is super loud.

Interesting video, thanks

How does the H3 fare comparing it to the H8?

ODMaster software is absolute trash! it doesn't work.... but I really like the radio.

Thanks very good video.

Greetings, thanks for the information. consultation. Does the offer price include shipping costs?

looks like decent product

I did not hear anything about the strong sigs overloading and blocking dynamic range capability…

Really interesting but a massive shame you had the tumble dryer on in the background, it was so noticeable

What a pal

When will they make a digital radio with all of these features. DMR which is open source as well as P25 but I hear that Fusion and D-Star are are another story.

In your opinion what is Tidradios best handheld? Would you still choose the H3?

My 1st H3 went out in flames while charging, replacement radio doesn't transmit at all. TID refusing to send the replacement, advising me to put the battery of replacement radio to 1st radio (one that burned out in flames LOL). Tragi-Comedy...

cant find these for less than 60

Does this radio have an internal birdie on 156.000 MHz? (VHF Marine Channel 0). Most of the other Chinese hand helds are unusable on this frequency as the squelch is held open which blocks reception of most signals are causes the scanning to permanently lock up. Can you try your radio and reply here. Also, are there any import taxes payable here in the UK if the radio is purchased using your link?

Now add encryption and it would be the perfect prepper radio :) yeah no license proud pirate for over 35 years

Where can I get the firmware upgrade please ?

how and where do i get the firmwear upgrade please ?

I uploaded the latest H3_240702 firmware today.. Now NONE of my GMRS frequencies work anymore even when i unlock to "normal" or even "gmrs" mode.. ugh!

Nice video!

What is an acceptable digital walky?

Tidradio is Baofang.

To small for a growned man, speaker to small and gets distorted at medium and high volume
