      Hi Gary. Yeah i miss it really. The simple clicky channel select. I use to mark the surround with tipex to swap to fav channels quickly so not to mis a copy from the 14.

    The Tidradio H3 with original firmware update does also receive cb band fm. (18-48 mhz)
    I bougt one and straight out of the box it can receive cb band (and more).
    So please update your H3 Fred and do a new review of the radio.
    Greetings from the Netherlands.

      Easy to program with Bluetooth and Odmaster on your phone.
      There is also software for PC / laptops to program and software to operate the radio.

      No not really. I ve explained it all before. Radio is quite a hard subject to produce a weekly video about. Sometimes (like recently) you can go weeks without any decent radio propagation. Once you up and running on YT you need to keep uploading regular to get even close to getting anywhere like recommended. My recent Quansheng review is close to 200k views. Sometimes CB videos struggle to 1.5k. Even my recent Beginners Guide video barely got 2k. Non brainer really.

    Just another rebadged unit coming from some or other Chinese manufacturer. Hate to say it but CB seems more dead than ever in the U.K. except for a dew pairs of blokes talking to each other.
