Another Nice, pair of Tids ya have there, Ill have to get a pair to squeeze and manipulate around on my desk too, and a long, hard test drive.... Another fine review I may add..
I watched in another video about this radio that the “normal” mode is a kind of unlock mode that allows to use HAM and GMRS frequencies at the same time, but than again I am a noob in this subject, and you are my main source of knowledge. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Ok, ok, you talked me into buying the Baofeng G Plus, (two of them) now I just ordered two of these. You are very convincing. I have been a ham for many years and it was your u-tube site that caused me to get into GMRS. I want to thank you for that and wish Zenew to watch over you and keep you safe from "some people".
Normal setting unlocks the radio, got mine in February and still very pleased with it, I like how you can use the app to download repeaters in your area the Bluetooth the info and settings to the radio
At the rate of improvement we're seeing with radios and prices, it makes you wonder what other radios they have up their sleeves to up their game in the very near future. Very impressive radio for the price for sure...a very impressive time for two way radio. Yet another great video buddy, keep up the good work. 73's from 26KT001, Kent, England
I just found this channel by accident. This guy is hilarious. Someone needs to give him a talk show or let him run a presidential debate. I purchased using an affiliate link. Hope it gave you many monies.
Thank you for your entertaining, simple, and knowledgable reviews. I am a babe in the woods in re GMRS, etc and have relied on a binge of several of your videos since first hearing the term "GMRS" at an emergency preparedness event I went to yesterday.
*sigh* Thank you for yet again convincing me to buy yet another radio. I need a bigger box to toss it in after the initial 2 weeks interest and use expires. 😂
I know. I hope I haven't missed my amazon return window. Thank God for Amazon return. Well, if I did miss the window at least the UV-5R wasn't that much.
I found out the hard way. "Normal" mode gives you access to both HAM and GMRS frequencies. If you select HAM mode, GMRS frequencies are locked out...and vice versa. Actually a cool feature.
Also, if you're using CHIRP, you will need to select the radio to match the mode you have it in. TD-H3 is Normal, TD-H3-HAM is HAM, TD-H3-GMRS is GMRS mode. If you try to read/write tot he radio with the wrong one selected, it shall not read nor write.
Your videos are entertaining, informative, and funny as hell!! I’m new to this hobby and have watched your channel for radio reviews and laughs. Love the broken pencil tip as a pointer and all the production you put in!
My light holes have seen this before on another channel and I own it as a result and have been very pleased in both Ham and GMRS modes. I also have not installed alternate firmwares.
BTW, I just bought this radio (6 months after your video was posted) following your link and it came with 2 batteries. $35.99, hell of a deal and I love the radio! Thank you.
This is the 1st time buying a radio You featured. I've been looking foe something like a uv-5r ,and about as cheap, but with air band, because all of the air traffic in my area. this fits the bill and then some.
Thanks Randy for all the training videos. It helps. I felt guilty watching your videos for month I went a head and joined. Keep up the good no B.S. videos....
Received my fresh new TD-H3 today and was able to communicate with the gods on local mountain top gmrs repeater using proper DPL tone. I am highly impressed
Love your videos! 2 things in the h3(had mine for a couple months now): "normal " mode is full unlock(so im told) If you leave it in dual watch, your PTT buttonS will allow for dual transmit. Channel a on the top button, channel b on the middle. Hope this helps someone!
Given your recommendation on the UV-5R, I bought 4. I also followed another video on how to unlock the GMRS transmit on the radio. Given your somewhat erotic relationship with the UV-5R would you consider the TD-H3 a better radio for GMRS? Do you feel the same carnal attraction to the TD-H3 as the UV-5R?
Already ordered mine. You didn't orgasmicate to taking the plastic off of the screen...how anti-climasmic that was.oh, and that line about "baby xeno in his crib" KILLED me
I love mine. I have 3 and one is the super sexy crystal version. It has a very high CDI factor (Chicks Dig It) I also have an additional Tupac coming tomorrow. Great vid Randolfo.
Ok just stumbled on your channel as I’ve been going back and forth between going full ham or just going gmrs for a set for the family to join with a few people in the neighborhood that have baefongs in the event of an emergency but I’ve been getting lost down the rabbit hole for the last 2 weeks. I learn best by entertaining and comedy and you sir are awesome!
Hey Randy, when you review a radio, can you please let us know if it is weather resistant and/or shock resistant as well? I would appreciate such knowledge as it is important to me for various reasons. Some reasons are 1) I am a Hoss(hard on stupid shit!)2) I, unlike most people, live in the real world outside most of the time.3) I am rather energetic and adventurous. Rain and obstacle courses excite me for some strange reason. 4) Due to the stated above reasons, I tend to destroy many things, especially radios not designed for rugged use and wet work. I hope you can appreciate my concerns. Thank you for your consideration. Take care and God bless you my righteous dude!
I can tell you this radio has no IP rating, and it's from titradio, so it's going to be on the low end as far as weather/shock resistance. It's heavier than others of it's size so it feels "tougher", but that's mostly just because it has a bigger battery
As a professional advertising writer, I enjoy your writing and presentation style. I laugh on a regular basis during your informative reviews. These feature rich, low cost CHYNAH radios are causing the big Japanese makers to compete. Look at the Yaesu FT-4XR 2 meter/ 440 MHz for only $94. How long before the big 3 Japanese makers are forced to include more features across their entire line of radios? Of course the Japanes radios seem to last longer and have fewer issues. Extra points for the Ferris Bueller reference. Well done, sir. You have my respect.
Has absolutely terrible end of transmission squelch when using them on repeaters. I’ve tried every squelch setting without luck. Everyone seems to be complaining of the same thing.
Trust me it's worth a few bucks more to have Amazon on your side..I purchased an E-bike that had issues from day 3.5 and I tried the company first..it took Amazon to jump in to get it taken care of
Yep. Ordered a 2-pack of UV5Rs and one was bad. No hassle return. Had the wife drop it off at Kohl’s and she only spent $342.76 at Sephora with the kid.
Great review i just got this radio and loving it!!! Hey thanks for all you do on reviews funny and to the point !!! Keep it up. Would to see you review the Radtel RT-580G looks to be a good radio but it needs your stamp on it for me to get it. Thanks again
Hi N.R.P. I thoroughly enjoyed your review! All the references to classic culture was nothing short of amazing! Keep up the great work! Anderson..Anderson...... Here!......Bueller....Bueller.....
So it seems I may have gotten a good one by chance! Still trying to figure it all out. Unfortunately, I'm surrounded by mountains so I have yet to talk to anyone except my better half. Thanks for the in depth explanations, you've added to my learning!

Where do I get the “spurious emissions”sticker?
I watched in another video about this radio that the “normal” mode is a kind of unlock mode that allows to use HAM and GMRS frequencies at the same time, but than again I am a noob in this subject, and you are my main source of knowledge. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
The picture on the wall😂😂
Ole sniffy! 😂
Pedo in Chief!
Uber sniffer
Yes, sniff sniff.
Do I smell Pantene?
Ok, ok, you talked me into buying the Baofeng G Plus, (two of them) now I just ordered two of these. You are very convincing. I have been a ham for many years and it was your u-tube site that caused me to get into GMRS.
I want to thank you for that and wish Zenew to watch over you and keep you safe from "some people".
Have you enabled Roger beep? 😂
I just bought a boofwang too.
Yeah me too! LOL. My collection is growing
Wholesome comment!
Right there with you. 🙂
🤣💯💯💪🏾
I love watching your videos at 4x speed, because then it sounds normal lol
Close. I put my playback speed at 1.5x and now it sounds normal.
sad hams need people to talk slow to them.
I play the video at 1.25 to 2x speeds as well
perhaps biden talks faster? maybe steven wright is faster?
He's a genius. Found a way to beat the system. Take a 5 min vid and turn it into a 20 mins vid.
Normal setting unlocks the radio, got mine in February and still very pleased with it, I like how you can use the app to download repeaters in your area the Bluetooth the info and settings to the radio
I'm now having more fun with two Tiddies than I thought possible. Thanks, Randy!
😂😂👊🎯
And in ham mode you might actually be able to tune-in Tokyo while playing with your new tiddies
At the rate of improvement we're seeing with radios and prices, it makes you wonder what other radios they have up their sleeves to up their game in the very near future. Very impressive radio for the price for sure...a very impressive time for two way radio. Yet another great video buddy, keep up the good work. 73's from 26KT001, Kent, England
Dude , you are the best UA-camr, love your videos and humor
I got one a few weeks ago, it is indeed a very good value for the money.
The picture behind you steals the show!! Another great episode.
I have one of dons Stormy sniff
@@Skynet-vg9fqdo you have a picture of biden in the shower with Ashley 🤔
My Apx4000 has all these programmed. I want this radio to pass out to The American Red Cross. I have funds to purchase many of these
The picture behind only means he's white garbage as all Trump terrorists are.
Thanks for the Ferris reference.
Righteous DUDE !

The sickness is real!
Not sure mine hold my interest two weeks 😅
do like him and make a radio wall!
I know. I hope I haven't missed my amazon return window. Thank God for Amazon return. Well, if I did miss the window at least the UV-5R wasn't that much.
Or just re-sell it on the Amazon's 😅
I found out the hard way. "Normal" mode gives you access to both HAM and GMRS frequencies. If you select HAM mode, GMRS frequencies are locked out...and vice versa. Actually a cool feature.
Confirm. "Normal" mode is unlocked.
Also, if you're using CHIRP, you will need to select the radio to match the mode you have it in. TD-H3 is Normal, TD-H3-HAM is HAM, TD-H3-GMRS is GMRS mode. If you try to read/write tot he radio with the wrong one selected, it shall not read nor write.
Your cool man. I love your attitude especially when you are proving a point toward information. Great video again. 🎼
You spelled you're wrong.
@johnfish1194
Is a SAD HAM.😊
Your videos are entertaining, informative, and funny as hell!! I’m new to this hobby and have watched your channel for radio reviews and laughs. Love the broken pencil tip as a pointer and all the production you put in!
Another great video. Thank you. Caught you on HRCC last week and enjoyed the video as well. Thanks for your content.
I received my two pack three days ago and have been having a blast with them.
These are quite cool little radios.
Thank you for covering them.
“This big, by that big, by that big.” 100% what I needed to know thank you!
I never thought I'd give up my trusty boomfengs, but somehow I already own six of these H3s...
Got 4 of these today in black, 2 green versions on the way! 😀 Got them for a SHTF scenario and family outings too. Super cool tiny radio!
Just used your link to purchase the radios.
Thanks for your advice and valuable videos
Just ordered the 2 pack of amazon and man are they selling fast!
thanks for another great video!
Loved the video but disappointed that you did not pull off the plastic sheeting from the screen as that is always the highlight for me! 😆
Maybe he can do it on a short so it can be watched on loop for hours
When he abruptly ripped the screen protector off of the AR-152 in the last video. 😅
I believe it was intentional because he knows we were all waiting for it.
I know. He teased at it a few times flipping the blue tab.
You your self can experience the gasm as you pull the plastic from the screen
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
@TheNotaRubicon I bought one but forgot to use your "affiliate link below". Thanks for your reviews.
My light holes have seen this before on another channel and I own it as a result and have been very pleased in both Ham and GMRS modes. I also have not installed alternate firmwares.
Ya Can't use it for BOTH! Or your head will explode! 🤯 Then the Fed Boys will toss your dead carcas, under the jail!
BTW, I just bought this radio (6 months after your video was posted) following your link and it came with 2 batteries. $35.99, hell of a deal and I love the radio! Thank you.
Another great video Randalfo. I followed your affiliate link and the Amazons are selling it now for $29.99 so I have one on the way!
29.99? I paid 70 for the pair 2 hours ago. Wtf?
This is the 1st time buying a radio You featured. I've been looking foe something like a uv-5r ,and about as cheap, but with air band, because all of the air traffic in my area. this fits the bill and then some.
Thanks Randy for all the training videos. It helps. I felt guilty watching your videos for month I went a head and joined. Keep up the good no B.S. videos....
Best damn gmrs channel. Learned big watching these
Received my fresh new TD-H3 today and was able to communicate with the gods on local mountain top gmrs repeater using proper DPL tone.
I am highly impressed
Love your videos! 2 things in the h3(had mine for a couple months now): "normal " mode is full unlock(so im told)
If you leave it in dual watch, your PTT buttonS will allow for dual transmit. Channel a on the top button, channel b on the middle. Hope this helps someone!
You are in fact a righteous dude.
Thank you through my curiosity. I found your channel and my 2 new radios will be here in a month or so.
Watch on at least 1.5x speed. You're welcome.
Love the "pointer"
Thanks for telling us what hole to use
Just got my pair about two weeks ago, really enjoy them!
Solid Bueller reference sir.
Love the Exmo vibe! I watch your videos for the humor as much as the knowledgeable content. Keep it up, Superstar!
Given your recommendation on the UV-5R, I bought 4. I also followed another video on how to unlock the GMRS transmit on the radio. Given your somewhat erotic relationship with the UV-5R would you consider the TD-H3 a better radio for GMRS? Do you feel the same carnal attraction to the TD-H3 as the UV-5R?
Great review! I am absolutely going to pick one up. If all goes well, I'll get a few of them to hand out on trail rides.
Already ordered mine. You didn't orgasmicate to taking the plastic off of the screen...how anti-climasmic that was.oh, and that line about "baby xeno in his crib" KILLED me
Why do I love this guy? Always good for a laugh!
Watched a video on the "ham" version posted by KG6 something or other channel this morning. Excited to hear more
Dude, you're hilarious. Keep it up. I bought a pair... using the affiliate link.
16:23 Priceless. I love the information on your page. I also love your wit!
Blue balling us with the blue tab.
The kids refer to it as 'edging'... and, you love it.
@@TheNotaRubicon Oh My Xenu! 🤣 Holy balls Batman!
205k. Hell yeah, your a UA-cam super star. Love your channel brother.
Hey! I bought this radio after watching this video. Fantastic! I can't believe all the features this radio has. Thanks for sharing!
You must be referring to those saweeeet roger beep options. 😂
Thought you had my cell for a second. The app choices are very similar to mine.
I saw them too and the world will never be the same again.
My innocence is gone.
Perfect timing, since I just received mine this afternoon!
The picture in the background is amazing
The Ferris reference. Excellent. You are a righteous dude.
I love mine. I have 3 and one is the super sexy crystal version. It has a very high CDI factor (Chicks Dig It) I also have an additional Tupac coming tomorrow. Great vid Randolfo.
I got two orange and two green when they released bright colors work great for the woods lol
I'm not a Radio guy, but I watch your videos just for the entertainment value. Cheers.
Love the Ferris Buellers Day Off reference..

Do you have to wear any protective gear while using this radio?
Love your channel. Just bought a pair
Just started the video & I am hoping to see you Sniff the Radio's
I purchased the tidradio about a month ago and I like it a lot. I am learning more about the gmrs radio.
If Randy really loved us (his Favorite viewers) he would have kept this great radio a secret so it wouldn't be sold out. 🙂
In stock with a coupon on Amazon
Great video presentation. 😂 I enjoyed the humor. Keep up the good work.

So glad that you made this video Randy! Really appreciate the features help. Fantastic radio for the money like you said!
If you stare at the flashing lights of the HTs in the background long enough you begin decoding an alien signal from outer space…

Sql tail setting?
@@RKingis It does nothing, at least for repeaters. Menu option 30 does work for simplex, however.
Your TV in the background is the best !
Great humor, as usual. Well done.
Screw the radio. I'd just enjoy having you as a neighbor
Trust me it's worth a few bucks more to have Amazon on your side..I purchased an E-bike that had issues from day 3.5 and I tried the company first..it took Amazon to jump in to get it taken care of

Thanks for the review! Keeping my current 905G’s I know we can never have enough GRMS radios. LOL similar to not having enough fire-ms or a-o.
But what about the spurious emissions?!? 🤪
Great review i just got this radio and loving it!!! Hey thanks for all you do on reviews funny and to the point !!! Keep it up. Would to see you review the Radtel RT-580G looks to be a good radio but it needs your stamp on it for me to get it. Thanks again

Killed me on” this big by that big” Love it!!!
Save Ferris!!!!
Awesome Ferris Buller reference and great wall picture. I am now a subscriber. Keep up the great work.
Creeper Joe.
2x the affiliate creds because some turd stole my first set.
Loved the radio and thanks for the video walk through.
I guess crime DOES pay.. for ME!

Some of your verbiage is awsome . Keep up the great work
Saw the picture on the wall, instantly Subscribed 🤣🤣
I never thought I would laugh so hard at a radio review. Thanks for the informative video.
lol you always have the best images on screen and easter eggs in your videos
Love the shirt and background photo👍👍😂😂 Let’s Go……!
Thanks very much for this option. It make big difference in the ease of use of this radio!!!
Bought a couple of these and I love them.
So it seems I may have gotten a good one by chance! Still trying to figure it all out. Unfortunately, I'm surrounded by mountains so I have yet to talk to anyone except my better half. Thanks for the in depth explanations, you've added to my learning!
Great value at this price point! Made more interesting from the video review!😊
