Hate the political crap behind you...but thanks for steering me away from your channel. I need to watch and learn without being distracted with political bs.
I can’t imagine learning and laughing about GMRS radios without this channel. I’m not big into this stuff, but being able to laugh my ass off at your subtle and obvious humor while figuring it all out makes this hobby a lot more bearable to learn.
I feel very conflicted over the realization that I actually get the meaning of that shirt. On a side note, I have both of these radios, and both out performed my other gmrs radios. And if I had to choose only one, then it would be the Tid H-3.
I have purchased a couple of Tidradio products in the past and was disappointed, mostly regarding programming processes with those radios. I have not yet been able to muster the intestinal fortitude I find necessary to give their newer products another go. I have had Baofeng UV5R's and UV5G's and was kinda "meh". I got what I expected for the money. Just bought a UV5G Plus and am genuinely amazed. Receive audio quality is very good. Reception is very good, and programming has been the least confuculated of any of the cheaper radios that I can recall. Thus far, I have encountered none of the interference and garbage in reception that I have come to expect in direct conversion (super homodyne) radios. The UV5G Plus is definitely a keeper!
Hope Chef Conrad makes a speedy recovery! Chef - don't hesitate, self-medicate! Preferably an Irish whiskey aged 12+ years... A week or so ago I got an H3 to see what all the fuss is about. Great little radio, rapidly became my favorite low cost HT. I use it in ham mode and it is noticeably better than my now several years old UV-5R. Seems to hit a local repeater slightly better, it has air band RX, better display (not hard to beat a UV-5R display though), and is more straightforward to program from the keypad. So easy in fact I haven't bothered connecting it to CHIRP.
I wondered earlier if this was a really, really good ADHD control? Is it in the editing? The performance is excellent no matter what.. I'm just saying, idk.. Fucking gold no matter what Let this man chew on some medals. Timing.. See what you did there?
You’ve been such a big help to me as I’ve just got into GMRS. Thanks so much for your help as things can get confuculated 😂. Also, praying for Chef Conrad!
Thanks for the comparison video. I ordered the 2 pack TDH3 after your previous video on it (my first GMRS radio). Its going to take a month for them to arrive so I have plenty of time to get a permission slip.
Get well Conrad! Keep up the quality content Randy! Everything about this channel keeps me wanting more. I learn while having a laugh and decoding the photo’s potential meaning in the background.
LOL.... someone got triggered by your background photo... LOL. But now to serious... I have both these radios. In fact, two 5G+ radios (yeah... I jumped the gun and bought it when you could only get it in pairs. And I don't regret it one bit!). Of the two... for MY uses... well... either would work. They're both good... great... radios, as you so excellently point out. There is one thing that endears the H3 to me, and one thing that bugs me to no end. I personally love the "kersch" roger beep. It's subtle (in use), but so effective. It is, IMO, the perfect roger beep. BUT... I can listen to a transmission in my area on both radios, and the H3 CONSISTENTLY has more static than the 5G+. Or pretty much any radio that I have, that I've checked it against. Not sure why, but it just doesn't seem to receive well. It can be mitigated by a better antenna (Nagoya 771G, Smiley Super Stick, both of which I've tried). But it just never seems as clear as my other radios. Is it the receiver? Speaker? Antenna? Don't know. But it kinda bugs me. Overall, it's a great radio... but it could be a lot better. Meanwhile, I can't really think of anything against the 5g+ versus the H3. For most things they work the same but it receives better.
My TD-H3, which I just got a week ago, doesn’t seem quite as clear as my UV-5R and UV-5R Plus. Almost, but just a little less clear. It receives the signal as well, but there’s just something. After listening back and forth repeatedly, I think the Baofeng speakers may just reproduce the treble end of the frequencies a little more accurately. For such a good radio it bugs me a little, but if I didn’t have the Baofengs for comparison, I would never have known. My Boafengs are exceptionally clear, though, so I figure it’s just the differences in radios and will live with it, because the H3 is still an awesome radio, and it only cost $30, not $300.
I have mixed emotions about viewing the well known splinter fall off the Pencil Pointer. While feeling a sadness for the loss, I'm proud I was able to witness this historic event. GET WELL SOON CHEF, WE NEED YOU!
May Conrad have a quick recovery, being vital as he is to helping Randy conduct his tests. As for which radio, I received my TIDRadio TD-H3 one week ago, and I’m going to be ordering my Baofeng UV-5G Plus, very soon. I decided I need BOTH. 🤣 Affiliated link USED, of course.
lol at the end. I've somehow collected 32 different HT now and these two are definitely standout favorites of mine as well. I put a 5/8 slim duck smiley on my h3 and it's possibly the perfect machine. But the old man in me loves the big buttons and pretty screen on the plus (and 5rm and k5 and 5r max). Picked up a few uv17 pro gps and learned how they work via 20 different youtube vids, definitely a strong contender. Pretty excited to see the newest chinah trends on the way over the last few weeks. Keep it up sir, big fan
Nicely done side by side comparison. I'd like to see more of these. Tell Conrad to get better so he can tell me how to unlock my Kenwood walkie-talkie. 69s... (hoping that I didn't just trigger any sad people)
One of the few things I learnt in college was the definition of an expert. You need to be more than 20 miles from home and bring your own slides. The “teacher” didn’t say anything about having a license.
Get well soon chef, that lumpia isnt gonna make itself. Lol on a more serious note, I find the battery on the H3 to last much longer than the bangfang. Yes i understand there are variable such as standby time vs transmit time but i am thoroughly impressed with the H3 battery. Another thing is the H3 recieves AM air band. Ive been telling everyone who is new to radio to buy it, its the baeofeng killer.
Conrad we demand you heal up fast. Now with that out of way I went the self proclaimed internet queens’s advice and got a new pair of Tiddies! But seriously Conrad I’m praying for you!
Truly enjoy and appreciate your content and delivery! GMRS is new to me but I know what's what thanks to you. Here's my sad ham impersonation ... ahem .... "FCC ULS shows callsign KMG365 hailing from a single base station @ 154.4300 in Los Angeles County, attn Gary Poon" ... huh huh, poon ... Remain quiet and calm; the authorities won't be arriving shortly.
I played around with the TD-H3 frequency/tone scanning yesterday and discovered it rarely got the DCS tone correct. I transmitted from two different UV-5R’s, a UV-9R Pro, a BTECH GMRS-50V2, and a BTECH UV-50X2 and it got the DCS tone correct less than 10% of the time. I even tried separating the radios by about 15 feet and with walls between. I use all these radios to hit local repeaters which use split DCS tones and never had an issue getting in, so I think the radios are squirting good tones. The TD did, however, nail the Tx frequency 100% of the time and accurately detected CTCSS frequency when I randomly tested across the range of those tones.
You have the best radio RUclips channel around! Can you do a review of the Anytone 878UV2+ ? I have one and I love it! And I most definitely do not use it on GMRS channels because that would be illegal…
Nice review. Thanks for speaking clearly, sounds very good at 1.5x speed probably even 1.75-2x on playback of ones in a hurry. Is there much change to the UV-5RM model from this UV-5G plus?
Yep! I think it was all of L.A. County fire, but most likely since went to a different licence under P25 and like other depts, probably hold the old license in reserve.
Great review. Them flip flops and socks took me out. Then the pencil ordeal. ROFL You need a comedy channel. Thanks for the good info sir. Also, Chef hurry up and get well!
Hate the political crap behind you...but thanks for steering me away from your channel. I need to watch and learn without being distracted with political bs.
"weak people make hard times"
What a sad life a person must have to choose to get so triggered and so distracted by nothing more than a photo on the wall.
Baaahahahahaha! What a crybaby!
Sad indeed......
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.
(Thanks dude)
😂😂😂😂😂😂

I got the UG5G Plus based on his review. Not disappointed.
Guy has a "trolling" motor hanging on his wall. Mint 👌
And he has little boy poops under his pillow
Wishing the Chef good health soon! Loved the old Henry Ford Model A quote about any color as long as its Black! lol
I hope the chef gets well soon we can't live without them I enjoy your channels thoroughly and I'm new to the Hobby so it has been very helpful
The pencil at 6 minutes made me lol
A quick and full recovery to Chef Conrad, and a standing ovation for the VS review. “Roger Beep”
Hope Chef Conrad makes a speedy recovery! Chef - don't hesitate, self-medicate! Preferably an Irish whiskey aged 12+ years...

I work at a cafe that serves doughnuts. I need that t-shirt sir. Thank you.
so inappropriate for work.
Perfect for a sex crime detective bureau.
Get well Conrad and back on your feets soon!
If I was with the Tidwang crew, I would be infinitely pleased with this completely unbiased and professional breakdown.
I hope this doesn't offend you, but I thoroughly enjoy your reviews...and your style. (The way you can annoy the OCD crowd is priceless.)
I wondered earlier if this was a really, really good ADHD control? Is it in the editing? The performance is excellent no matter what.. I'm just saying, idk.. Fucking gold no matter what
Let this man chew on some medals. Timing.. See what you did there?
Laughed way too hard when he took time to straighten out his pencil just to hit it immediately.
small comedies?
Get Well soon Conrad, The channel just isn't the same without him.
Get well soon Conrad! We need you to help with the fars analysis.
I cannot measure the excitement that I was one of the first ten to view this video. I am unwavering on my commitment to the Boo whang UV-5R!
You’ve been such a big help to me as I’ve just got into GMRS. Thanks so much for your help as things can get confuculated 😂. Also, praying for Chef Conrad!
I heard and saw nothing after “dripping”. The laughing was uncontrollable and nearly did me in. Perfectly executed, well done. 👍
Best shirt to date
The Chef is hereby commanded to get well DIRECTLY! Seriously though, prayers go out to The Chef. May God Bless.
Thanks for the comparison video. I ordered the 2 pack TDH3 after your previous video on it (my first GMRS radio). Its going to take a month for them to arrive so I have plenty of time to get a permission slip.

The chewed up pencil is a hilarious addition, but no substitution for Conrad. Great review!
KMG-365 great reminder of my childhood. Thanks broth.
I went with the TD-H3! So far, loving it.

I heard the bufwang sound last…does that mean that’s your pick?

Appreciating the white socks and flip flop combo. Its like personal protective equipment.
Its the little things in the video that make it great.
Currently listening to this to tune out my gf. Best long distance solution yet!
Get well Conrad! Sending lots of prayers!
Damnit Conrad, GET WELL! (Soon)
Dude yer sense of humor is spot on. Man I would love to hang out some time (non-creepy)… lol. What a blast. Also get well soon Chef Conrad….
Get well soon chef!
Small monies. Big features for both. I have both and have both in GMRS and ham. Love both.
I like that you use music from one of my favorite channels - Camera Conspiracies (Stern Beats); he has a lot of good ones.
lol at the end. I've somehow collected 32 different HT now and these two are definitely standout favorites of mine as well.

Chef; Get well soon. 😊
Get well soon Chef!
Suckered me in. Just ordered an H3. Hope Titradio compensates you handsomely for the promotion
Nicely done side by side comparison. I'd like to see more of these.
Tell Conrad to get better so he can tell me how to unlock my Kenwood walkie-talkie. 69s... (hoping that I didn't just trigger any sad people)
Chef, get well soon my friend.
I enjoy looking at pictures on the computer screen behind you, especially the sniffer and his son with two friends. New viewer.
Thanks! and thanks for watching.
Love the dark humor/sarcasm!! Well done sir!😂😂😂
Wishing Conrad a speedy recovery. Now I need to go get some doughnuts 😂
One of the few things I learnt in college was the definition of an expert. You need to be more than 20 miles from home and bring your own slides. The “teacher” didn’t say anything about having a license.

Hey Conrad, just checking in to see how you’re doing. I hope you’re feeling better!
I have both and the Tidradio TD-H3 is Better in all aspects
Get well soon chefff and dammm youu rubicon, i bough the 5plus yesterday XD know i have to return it and get the tic one

Chef Conrad, I sincerely wish for your speedy and full recovery
Chef Conrad...get well soon!
Absolutely cracks me up how people get their panties in a knot over your videos! Keep up the good work I say!
Conrad we demand you heal up fast. Now with that out of way I went the self proclaimed internet queens’s advice and got a new pair of Tiddies! But seriously Conrad I’m praying for you!
Chef!! Let not your heart be troubled, please Get Well Soon!!!
Conrad Chef, get well soon! Good vibes from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Fekknnnnn brilliant.
Also, I hope both the chef and the pencil make full recoveries.
It would do you no good to push Trigger to talk. It's Mr. Ed that talked.
If Trigger talked, Roy would be checking his coffee cup to see what was in there!
@javabeans8549 that comment is pure Silver!
Get well Conrad!
Best. Shirt. Ever.
Yay !!!
I know it will be great (or at least tolerable) weekend when the little guy drop new video...
I have both of these radios and I like them both.
The film never came fully off the screen! I kept thinking it was just around the corner!! 😂😂😂
Truly enjoy and appreciate your content and delivery!
GMRS is new to me but I know what's what thanks to you.
Here's my sad ham impersonation ... ahem ....

That has LITERALLY already happened, almost word-for-word, on more than one video.
yesss, nailed it! :)

BEST SHIRT EVER ! Flip Flops and socks ? 😂 that’s a little much . 😆
I was going to say that. lol
Ok, what is the meaning of donuts, fingers in holes? 😂
I had a programming instructor at college, his usual attire was a dress shirt, dress pants, white socks and Birkenstock sandals.

Reed? Malloy?
I hope you are feeling better Conrad.
I agree the H3 is better. Thanks.
Thank you for a great comparison video, informative and entertaining. Get well, Chef.
I heard that at the end. That was the tidradio now we know which one you like better.
Great review. Them flip flops and socks took me out. Then the pencil ordeal. ROFL You need a comedy channel. Thanks for the good info sir. Also, Chef hurry up and get well!
I got a td-h3 and it came with 3 antennas. Quite a good deal.
Also I hope Cornrad feels better by now. He's my favorite internet chef celebrity I've never met.
Hope you have a speedy recovery chef! 🎉
What the actual ef? The trademark pencil hook is now gone, and you don't comment on it? WTF??!!!
It died valiantly on camera...a moment of silence please! 😂
Get well soon Chef 13:24 @NotaRubicon Productions
Socks with sandals. Good stuff. Oh, and the shirt was killer too.
You earned a like today because of your apps on your phone 😂
Your apps made me laugh out loud.... Thanks, I needed that!!
