    just bought the 2 pack from your link! thanks. been looking for some cheap USB-C chargable radios to keep in various places. going to throw one in the glove box and one in the faraday can i plan on building. went out to do POTA and want to get N1CC and met another HAM operator that didn't have a VHF/UHF radio with him or in his car. so we couldn't get 2m/70cm

    Like this little radio and you can unlock them to do HAM, GMRS and everything. There is a weird programming glitch though. I had to unlock radio, then read with ODMaster via Bluetooth, program in one GMRS channel and write it. Then I could use CHIRP from that point on but if I did not I would get “this radio incompatible with those frequencies” error in chirp!!

    Hello. I bought this radio because it has dual PTT, like the Baofeng UV-82 that I use for work to talk to two different groups. However, the earphone/mic I use for the UV-82 with two buttons only activates one frequency (the lower PTT). Is there any configuration that can enable both PTT via the handset? Thanks.

    When you are selecting the model in Bluetooth, why did you select TD-H3 option instead of the TD-H3 Ham or TD-H3 GMRS options? I understand this radio can do both GMRS and HAM but why do they have 3 options there, and what happens if I select lets say the GMRS option?

    Wireline (telephone) is specified to work with 70 msec tone. I used to test voiceband modems to 50 msec to be sure, but there is no spec for RF. My radios now are set to 250 msec duration with the same gap. Somebody at TID used an ambitious duration. If/when there is hacked firmware, that will be fixed.
