In this video we discover why the TIDRADIO TD H3 has become such a popular two-way radio with both ham radio operators and GMRS users.

I am very familiar with the Baofeng UV5R radio, and own several of them. They are a good little radio. Recently I had heard enthusiastic chatter about the TIDRADIO TD-H3, and when TIDRADIO offered me the opportunity to review it, I jumped at the chance to see what it was all about. In the video you will see what things really appeal to me.

We start by looking at what comes in the box, then explore 3 different ways to set up the radio. Starting with the keypads on the radio to load frequencies, we also explore the TD H3's built-in Bluetooth software used for programming memory channels using the free ODMaster app on your phone, and also the CHIRP software for programming with your computer.

I used an Apple Mac with a Mac Silicon chip for this CHIRP programming demonstration.

For those who want to get the CHIRP programming software I talk about in the video, here is where you download the free open-source CHIRP software: https://chirpmyradio.com

The radio operates on ham frequencies on VHF in the 140 MHz band, and UHF in the 440 MHz band. It also can operate on GMRS, along with other various frequencies, and there are many active H3 user forums and groups that are exploring modifications with the H3. It's gained a large following.

There are one or two minor things I hope they improve on, but as I mention in the video, the H3 has now become my "daily carry" radio.
