If you hold the PTT, * button and turn the power on, you can select whether the radio is in Ham, GMRS, or Normal (freeband) mode.
Note: changing modes will reset the radio and erase any programmed memories and settings. This is where ODMaster on the phone comes in handy. You can have all your channels saved on your phone, so when you go back to the other mode, you just reload all your channels and settings via bluetooth in just a few seconds.
I bought 2 H3 and love them. Nothing to change in the units. I think they are great and had become my daily use. It is perfect radio, even like it more than the H8.
Great review...Anyone who has one of these Radios.... If you use Bluetooth Programming make certain you Turn Off Bluetooth after using this feature. Leaving Bluetooth on by mistake had some negative effects on mine. Thank You
What negative effects?
Yeah, what negative effects?
Gigantism.
@@AsciiWolf probley battery drain.
@@almightyEsquilax 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I bought one. Loving it so far.
It feels really solidly built.
It is tiny though, so the Nagoya antenna looks a little ridiculous on it.
Wow, really nice! Dammit, bad GAS attack... Regarding the airband sounding garbled, with proper equipment it only sounds marginally better to be fair. Pilots and controllers knows what is being said because the language used is highly "ritualised", so you don't need everything to be crystal clear in order to understand what is being said. Hmm...
To get rid of those spurious emmissions you really need a band pass filter.
Hi can we APRS on this radio using odmaster app?
Nice!... same double dash symbol as Quansheng... same factory?
i hope there will be custom firmware
I like it, but I wish it would have put out a full 5 Watts.
Do you think the full 5w would give you more FARZ? 😝
@@junkman27585 watts to warm you in the winter.
I keep losing the little Brass ring around the Mike screw....can I get more and how do you keep them tight??? Please HELP Thanks
I do wish that manufactures would stop putting ptt, broadcast and torch buttons under each other, on one side. I have small fingers but I keep hitting the wrong functions..
G4BTI.
Done that more than a few times I care to admit on my SeinHaix 🙄 - M7VOK
I think they should keep it that way...HOWEVER they Should do different shades of Dark grey for them and NUMBER them and have different ridges so that you know, see and feel what you are pressing.
what happens if you press both ptt's at once? :)
Anyone know if you can drop the TX power down to a Watt or less?
The UK (and EU) airband is now on 8.33kHz spacing. I wonder if this accounts for the apparent offset in the tests.
Not meaning to teach anyone to suck eggs, but it's a bit awkward to dial in airband frequencies to a generic receiver. The "channel number" spoken by ATC and pilots isn't necessarily the precise frequency, it can be offset a bit and it also denotes the bandwidth. An aircraft radio will convert the dialled in number implicitly. Also fun fact, the CAA have now given up on using the term "channel number" since noone really gets it, so now they're just frequencies, except they aren't.
Also, it's Aitch not Haitch. Arghh! 😤😫🙂
I want to see the FCC ID number assigned to this device. If there isn't one, you legally cannot sell them here in the US

The 1.25m output is not very high, but at least it is there.
Is the Odmaster app the one that uploaded data to China? If so, I see them doing that for marketing purposes, but it is disturbing.
Yeah, I downloaded it and regretted it severely...hence the Bluetooth is useless unless CHIRP adds Bluetooth that can read this. The ODMaster DEFINITELY Steals data and says so in the Google Play store...it has access to EVERYTHING!
Your custim graphic showing the 8 bands shows one with 470-600 but the actual listing of the item does not list that range, it stops at 400-600, did you add something extra or what happened?
These are less than £30.... 😀
the font is horrid. fortunatly firmware mods allow nice fonts.
I've got the H8 2nd gen version coming, do you know if that has the same functionality?
how do you which gen is it.?
@@EnnTomi1 - I bought from Tidradio, their website says the version.
Gawd that screen has how many different fonts and styles ?? 🤮
Those bottom battery tabs are going to get snapped off the first time it's dropped, that's a major design fail....
I doubt it's pronounced "Tee Eye Dee Radio” ?
Doesn't "Tid Radio" make more sense ?
It's no Quansheng, that's for sure.
Don't drop it, done deal.
Worst radio you can buy.
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...
Sorry but couldn’t watch this - the horizontal swiping of the video made me nauseous
More like “crap tier” 😂
Mine is "42. Version 240416".

I was hoping for some c programming over the usb
Same with me, would have made more sense.
i think mine is ham H3, and i can RxTx 470 -600just fine.
This is my second Tidradio that's being returned. First was an H8, dreadful reception, screen FAR too much to the left....just received my H3 hoping that this had been addressed (and also assured by Tidradio that it had) guess what!!! It was out of the box for no more than 10 mins before being boxed again and retuned. VERY disappointing.
Thanks buddy. Ordered 100 but they are still nagging about the price, offer me Baofengs instead.
How’s the scanning function? Any good?
price went up I can buy for 42$...
That's a nice radio. Lots of features at a very cheap price.
it sounds good on air both n/w.
Thanks, Matt 👍
I have one of these radios. At the time I got it, CHIRP was not yet supported, so I'm VERY happy to see they finally managed to include it. The cost was very reasonable, and it's noticeably heavier than a cheap plastic body radio would be, while being narrower than most handhelds but thicker front to back. It's very comfortable in the hand, and it fit a radio holster I got on either Banggood or AliExpress and attached to my purse with the MOLLE straps. Currently, this radio is my main handheld when I'm out and about. I used to carry the Baofeng UV-13pro, because I got it so inexpensively I wouldn't have cried to lose or break it. But I also have the very popular Quansheng Q6, which is the same as the Q5 but with special sauce. Right next to me on my "Shack Stack", I have the Baofeng UV-18 pro Black, which is a very nice radio I haven't heard much about. That one is hooked to a speaker/mike, and an external antenna. My Shack Stack is one of those "bread rack" style shelving units made of steel tubing with wire shelves. I've got 4 amateur handhelds a GMRS handheld, and an Inrico HT-phone that I use mainly for Zello, Echolink, and Teamspeak 3. When I get my Ras Pi put back together and on our network, I'll have a ThumbDV AMBE stick set up so I can access it from my phone or the Inrico using BlueDV for Android. That way, I have access to DMR on the known networks such as Brandmeister and TGIF, D-Star, Fusion, and NXDN, with which I am not familiar. Once the PI is back up with AMBEServer, I'll be able to access it from anyplace I can access Internet data.
Add in my Elecraft KX3 with 100w amp, and a CW Hotline for accessing VBand, and that's my shack at the moment. I've got a pile of radios that I can pick and choose from when I go out and play radio. The lockdowns really took a toll on me, and I don't have the energy I used to have. So I'm not out working the world all the time like I used to. But I'm working my way up to that.
Great video as always!
Is this a gmrs?
Ham/GMRS and I believe it picks up air band
@@DrGoNnZoo awesome thank you so much!
my td-h3 is unlocked and menu option #42 says
"Version 240427" without any other text
Did you unlock it?
@@onceways yes. with radio off hold top ptt button and star button and turn it on while still holding those buttons down. You will see a screen that tells you what button to press for what mode, 3 is normal mode which means unlocked.
@@troyglossop1113 Thanks
Great video :) Do you think we will ever see one soon with 27mhz CB hardware included also ? With a wee antenna swap transmit on UK CB etc
That would be awesome, but if that was possible we would have seen a couple by now don't you think? Instead it is always 2meters and 70cm... and now 1.25meters for the first time.
I don't know why it is difficult, but there we are...
Doubt unless you order a min 100k units.
@@junkman2758 I don't have that kind of money, sorry!!!
