I appreciated “the World’s Fastest Unboxing”.
Other RUclipsrs take note.
I simultaneously hate them and also realize that you need to know what's missing with most ham gear so you can get it on the air after you purchase it.
Tadaaaaaa!
Everybody show us your Tid's!
The woman's prompt voice is to ham radio as Majel Barrett is to Star Trek. (Yes, I am a dork)
Yes, yes you are.
So say we all.
Thank you for the fastest unboxing. it was executed perfectly.
Glad you liked it!
Ive had a couple of these for a few months now. Not really any complaints so far once i threw a signal stick on it. Battery life is good, range is good for what it is, and all the features are nice. Definitely a step up from a baofeng in almost every aspect for almost the same price.
The included antenna is straight junk like most rubber duckies.
They are making progress pretty fast. Should be interesting to see where we land in a year.
If I could ask which signal stick did you use?
@@temporarilyoffline I am holding off a while - 3-6 months - to see if they are really updating the H3s to be legal. Will likely buy three at that time - two for GMRS and one for vehicle ham use. Crossing fingers, Steve, that maybe this will work out. Love the form factor and features.

@@TomT73 Looks like there is already a new firmware out. I'm not sure how they can fix an RF output issue with firmware, but they think they can...
The World's fastest unboxing, tidah! You gotta be tidding me, great video tnx Man!
I see what you tid there.
They’re getting better!!
only one way to go!
Best unboxing ever!😂
I love my H3's, they're up there with my Wouxun KGUV9PX. The clear case is now my first choice if available. Not great for stealth but I'm no radicalised paranoid tactical camo prepper freak.😂
Thnx T.O. 😁👍🇦🇺⁷³
I like the bright green - I want to be seen!
I'm sure we've all seen W6LG's video where he bought a 2 pack of this radio. One met specs, one didn't. YMMV
Exactly!
regarding the squelch adjustment, it's not a live adjustment so you have to commit the choice to see what it sounds like. So 2 may have worked before going to 3, you have to click save to check.
Thanks!
I like the new unboxing technique!
Me too!
I sent my H3 back to Amazon because #1 the second PTT was so touchy it would TX with a slight touch. Then you press a little harder, it would quit TXing then press even harder and it would click and start TX again. I couldn't pick it up off of a table without TXing on the sub band. Second issue was on high power mine was only TXing at 3.8 watts on 2m but a full 5+ on 70cm into a dummy load. The third issue was it's first harmonic was just above the FCC limits. I could have overlooked the harmonic but that sub band PTT issue was the deal breaker.
Moving Product > Quality Control - we'll test it live!!! 😂
Great work TO. Tidradio really have come a long way with the H3 - I'm impressed with it
They are moving fast!
Steve, please indulge an old and slow ham, what are the dimensions of your little “ground plane gizmo” that you use to check the swr of the rubber duck style antennas? Does anyone sell that little widget? If not, what did you make it out of? Thanks in advance 😊
Good question - they don't sell it anymore and I need to update the test tig as a result. It's a thin piece of aluminum that works as a ground plane. It is 4.5x6.5in. The update would be to make a "tiger tail" for each 2m and 70cm that is a quarter wave and use that instead.
I picked up a Tidradio h3 a few months after my Quansheng. I played with it for 2 days. I thought the programming options sounded cool but I found them meh. Went back to the Quansheng and still enjoying it.
I think the Quansheng is where its at! Other vendors should take note here. To Tinker is To Ham
The Tidradio link you gave appears to show two included antennas; one connected and one extra. Did you get two? I've seen other reviews where a second antenna was included under the box material.
I couldn't find a link to my exact model as shipped - they frequently change models/included parts. Its frustrating.
It be nice if other cheap radio manufacturers open up the firmware like the Quansheng , let the community improve and add features. When Quansheng comes out with a radio with color screen and a little more ram, they gonna sell a lot. The community has added spectrum analyzer and waterfall to a $30 dollar radio. it's crazy.
Just imagine if the big three were paying attention...
Basically 5 watt radio based on the dummy load test. With the rubber duck it's in a power fold back condition in spite of the beauty ground plane you have most graciously provide.
Yep, you're picking up what I'm putting down.
USB-C charging AND USB-C interface/CHIRP compatible sold me. I have two of them.
I can't wait for USB Audio!
👍 good video
Glad you enjoyed it
When it gave you the "yes" or "not" option to unlock the freq, to select "yes", press the menu key, not the 1 key.
I pressed both, only "1" worked.
@@temporarilyoffline interesting. In the video it wasn't unlocked when you pressed 1, and I had the same experience with mine. When I did it again and pressed menu it was unlocked.
Maybe make the interface as similar as possible as the last radio! Lowers the learning curve. 73
Yes! I say that every time I am presented with a card reader at a point of sale... or a roundabout on a highway carrying 5+ tons of weight at high speed.
Can't speak to MacOS on the CH340 chipset, but they do work on Linux with no issues.
Yeah, I haven't had any problem with CH340s either. (including mac)
I received a TD-H3 last week with DTMF keypad malfunctions and other problems. I wrote to TIDRADIO and also made a video with all the problems. They said they'll replace it for me but at the moment all is quiet. Let's see the seriousness of this company.
I think you'll be impressed. They are very persistent with us on this side. If not, a swift Amazon return will take care of it also.
@@temporarilyoffline I hope it is the same for Italy too. I want to be optimistic anyway. Thanks and best regards.
The screen protector tab ripped off on mine as well. Tidradio needs to work on their screen protector tab technology.
It's been happening on a lot of random devices lately.
I think you have a career after retirement editing manuals. Good catch.
Its one of my many talents, thanks.
Sounds like Ms Baofeng 73
It sure does!
The reason you have problems with the offset is that you need to change the step to 2.5.
Thanks for looking out.
Awesome readio, *slightly*terrible* speaker. Compared for example with BF UV-82. I'd give that to the miniature size and live with it :D Bouth 3 already.
It's headed in the right direction, thanks for watching.
Gosh.... not another Tidradio review....!! Goodness me, they should give their PR department a big raise, for such a successful aggressive PR campaign!!
At least after all these years they are finally making better products.
@@temporarilyoffline True, and thank you for your reply and your interesting video anyway!
Good review Steve, your discount code wouldn't work for me.
Thanks - Very weird on the code. I just opened the link in a new tab and the code was already applied... then I typed it in anyway and it still worked - $3.29 savings. Maybe cookies are blocked?
Do Tidradio H8 2nd generation.
Good idea!
Too long winded opening
No worries, see ya
