Your 1st power test on the Baofeng VHF frequency at 4 min 20 seconds was actually transmitting on the UHF band. Other than that, I really appreciated this review. Keep up the great work!

Oops 😬

Thanks for the video Bobbie, us SOTA guys need the higher power for 2m

[@W6IWN_Radio]

I ❤️ me some high power 2m SOTA! I use a Yaesu ft2980 aka "The Foreman Grill" for that! 😅😅

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). Tragi-Comedy...

[@W6IWN_Radio]

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. No fires here so far!

[@grandic2]

@@W6IWN_Radio I was able to use it for one day on first charge, and second charge, battery charging controller circuit was a culprit of fire. Started to feel burning plastic smell after 20 minutes charging, I didn't know what is it, came back from outside, was walking my dog, started looking in the kitchen, around the stove, finally, I literally saw the radio burning. If I wasn't working from home that day, my house would be gone now. Insane.

The Tidradio H3 is NOT water resistant.If this radio is water resistant,it would literally be a perfect radio. Tid Radio,are you listening???

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

he never said it was...

[@odkeky]

Make it 10watts, water resistance and add gps , plus. Re arrange or add some buttons. They could do better witu this. But truly it's almost perfect
