First look at the TidRadio TD-H3 with a run through of the display, buttons and menu settings. Tidradio info: tidradio.com/products/h3-ham-... Purchase: aliexpress.com/item/325680648... Software: www.walkietalkiesoftware.com/
I have had mine since January and given it a really through test it is a nice little radio for the money with the latest firmware update it has a great scan feature by holding down key one
@@m7frs272 I have one last unboxing video going out sometime in the future as it is already done. I think straight to the point is what folk want these days.
In menu 34, frequency hopping, would enabling it eliminate the scanner from locking up when it comes to a control channel? I have the H3 and the h8 in GMRS. Thank you for explaining each of the menu labels.
The menu button works kind of like the function button. However not all the combinations seam to work. menu + 8/fm enables the radio for example. And menu + 5/rev reverses the tx/rx frequencies. Most other options seam to just navigate you to the matching menu option. Also long press 3/scn is the scan function and long press 1/sql allows you to save scan results.
Thanks and great question! To be honest it's a difficult one to answer. I love the versatility of the Quansheng and all the different firmware options and how developers have been able to allow features such as full HF RX, SSTV TX and APRS etc.. This video of the TIDRADIO TD-H3 was really my first experience with it so it's difficult to make a decision. I do already find some of the TD-H3 features and menus much easier to use than the Quansheng so I'm still undecided. At the end of the day it really depends what your after in a radio. Thanks for watching 👍
@@m7frs272 Thanks for the reply:). I know what you mean. No one has done a head to head, let’s say RXTX comparison, basing the scope on the capabilities let’s say on the H3
The 'S' isn't in the manual as you say but i figured it out. It indicates whether or not the power save feature is on or off. I prefer not to see it so I leave power save off, besides the battery lasts a long time either way.
I have no idea which "communication authorities" black list, is but theTidradio H8, H3, and every Quansheng model has the FCC approval number on a label at the back of each unit, since the Americans didn't like their markets flooded with Chinese radios they test for "spurious emissions" which radios have to pass, which is garbage anyway. As if your brand new five watt Tidradio, Radtel or Quansheng is going to bother anyone with microwatt size spurious spikes tested on an instrument, not even an antenna! Those folks at the FCC are the only ones testing, and the British & EU just take it from them. If you like a radio, just buy it, don't rely on ( especially) American RU-vid testers, who overdo the FCC anti-Chinese radio line.
Looks like a Baofeng on steroids. Thanks for not boring us with 30 minutes of unboxing but hey people buy this for bluetooth so they can justify a new mobile phone?
cheap is wat you get with these chinese radios, ive collected all of them over last year, none made it over 4 months, mostly the recharbable battery goes fast. but you get wat you pay for, cheap! dont expect too much
