Looks like a nice HT. I have the Ailunce HD1. I got the GPS one because Amazon had in $40 off so it was cheaper than the non GPS model. From what I hear GPS serves no practical purpose on a DMR radio. Is that true?
Well, apparently the GPS can be used to send your location details to the APRS servers so you would show in APRS.FI website. Once I’ve worked it out I’ll be doing a video on it, hopefully with some real live footage of it working. I think it depends a lot on whether your local DMR repeaters pass on the GPS info to the servers through a specific Talkgroup. I’m hoping to get an HD1 at some point too, I like the RT3S because I’ve been using an MD380 for ages and really liked it, built really sturdy and feels pro.
Is this better than the tyt md380? EDIT: Actually I believe this is better because this has the capability of UHF and VHF in one radio. THE TYT MD-380 only comes in either or. Thanks for the video.
Good video. I enjoyed watching. I would suggest making a jumper cable with an SMA connector on one end and either a BNC or SO 239 on the other end. The way you do it puts too much stress on the radio's SMA connector. Barry
Thanks Barry 👍 It was just a demonstration that the radio could be connected to an external antenna. I personally have every single adapter I can think of but just didn’t have it to hand at the time. But yes, if someone saw the video and wanted to connect to an external antenna I would personally recommend a male SMA to SO239 adapter. 😀 or a small fly lead to take any stress off depending on coax size.
Looking forward to your GPS videos on this radio. Since the Ailunce HD1 is made by Retevis I take the GPS setup will be the same or close. It is raining in Minnesota. Can you tell? I have been bombarding you with comments. Sorry!
I see a few tier 1 & 2 radio's being advertised.. but isn't tier 1 fdma like used on dpmr? I can't find fdma mode in the specs so I think I am wrong ? 🤔
Both Tiers are TDMA but Tier 1 uses the entire bandwidth where as Tier 2 uses 30ms time slots. Which makes Tier 1 unusable on Ham Radio DMR repeaters as they are Tier 2 with 2 time slots. :-) Hope that helps.
It’s what I had to hand at the time, I have all of the appropriate connectors. The point of that demonstration was to show that it could be connected to an external antenna, not to specifically use the connectors I used.
Does it have a fm radio function to listen local radio station?
Bonjour rencontré vous , un problème au niveau volume son ? ( ex. Volume niveau 1 ,mais a l'écoute représente un volume son niveau "8-9" !!! 73s

@@TechMindsOfficial I like that it is half the price of the Ailunce HD1

Yep, that’s exactly what I was going to say. Thanks for watching :)

Ma il VFO è sempre bloccato come nel RT3 prima versione e quindi canalizzato, oppure è aperto e si può cambiare frequenza direttamente da tastiera?
Is this radio field programable?
I'm on vfo mode and Its on A how do I change the mode to DMR ?
Tell.And what can happen if you install version 1.30 of MD 390 (with GPS) on MD 380 (without GPS)?
Curiosity is not a vice.)))))
Does anybody have any idea why my Retevis RRT3S isn't recognised by the software from Retevis please?
Yes

Can this device listen/talk on the "old" CB/Trucker-channels, too?
No.
Hi! Does it have a "classic" VFO mode, can you use the rotary encoder for frequency changing and can you scan in VFO mode? 73 de E73HAK
No, it hasn't. Get an Ailunce HD1 instead.
@@einkanal7149 Yes, it does!
4:30 way to teach everyone what NOT to do. You'l get a broken SMA connector using all that junk. Get a proper SMA male to SO-239 F CABLED adapter.
It’s what I had to hand at the time, I have all of the appropriate connectors. The point of that demonstration was to show that it could be connected to an external antenna, not to specifically use the connectors I used.
Does it have scanning function on mems or freqs?
Zach Liang Yes, has a scanning feature where it can scan through memory banks. I’ll cover this in the programming video coming soon
