TIDRADIO H3. My new EDC with everything right this time
The original review I did on this radio (link below) was on a pre release unit. It had some shortcomings, which I relayed to Tidradio and also mentioned in the review. My Tiny SA was not working correctly, so I did not check for harmonics.
All that has changed! TIDRADIO made some improvements, corrected some issues and promptly sent me a new production unit, which I had the opportunity to test and now report on.
This radio is now CLEAN ! No spurious emissions, or harmonics ! And an absolute ton of features in a super compact form factor ! Watch this video, and decide for yourself. If you choose to order, use my code for an additonal discount.

Comparing Airband reception quality on several different radios.
zhlédnutí 4,6KPřed 9 měsíci
One of the most common questions on radio reviews, or in FB groups, about HTs that receive Airband, is: "how is the quality of reception?" There are varied opinions about this- some say great, others say terrible, and then some on the middle. I have the opportunity to have several HTs that receive Airband, so I decided to record each of them (compared to a standard RS scanner) and YOU can judge...

There are now SO many variants of the UV-17 (on seller sites - at least) that most of us don't know what we are getting! Confusion, frustration, anger, and in the end, we are still not too sure!

Audio on these small radios is bad.
Thanks a lot, for your interesting video, I order a UV17Pro GPS I hope it comes with FCC seal
GMRS and FRS use the same frequencies and you do not need a license for 2 W.

Interesting thing I discovered: with odmaster the programming of the uv17 works with the uv5rm
@@yudelrox Interesting to know, thank you for posting this!
Your video is very undwrstanding & unbiased. Got mr 5rm on 8_21_24 for my birthday . Have a uv5r also. Very dependable radios. Tnx.
@@dennishavaran-sz9zm Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you!!
great video
Not quite …. GMRS will work on GMRS frequencies at up to 5 watts of power, HAM will work on HAM frequencies (but NOT GMRS or MURS) and UNLOCKED works on all frequencies at up to 10 watts!!! Why? You can switch between setups if you have both FCC licenses, on the same radio and still be “legal”!
Trying to understand. The GMRS can be used for GMRS and or unlocked for ham….But the Ham model is ham only? Is that correct?
Looks like you got the version with the misspelled exit button
You'll find that the power output for these radios with the same firmware will vary a couple of watts from radio to radio.
I have seen several reviews of the TD-H8 where it does NOT have spurious emissions. In fact, one of them ran the test and there were no additional signals other than the TX signal.
Mine is labeled UV 17 pro Max
Just got mine yesterday & easily programmed local HAM Repeaters, GMRS Channels & Repeaters as well as FRS and MURS Channels using CHIRP. For Listening only of course :)
Man what's with people making a cuckface in the video thumbnail these days? It's an epidemic.
Thanks!
Welcome!
Hello al from tokyo Ive`UV5R max 6
Qs UV5r plus has SSB reception and lower frequencies like k6?
What battery does this model use. I bought one on amazon and it's the wrong one.
Good review! Unfortunately they all seem rather scratchy to me. I don’t think I could listen to more than 5 mins of airband on any of these. Think I’ll stick with my handheld Uniden scanner for airband.
Thank you for that information! I only did a review to compare the units I have that DO receive Airband. None of them are intended as a scanner, they just have Airband as an extra.
I don't care about air band on a transceiver. I have several Ham handhelds that have it. My old Uniden BC125AT handheld scanner beats them all, especially on sheer scan speed. Also my Uniden SDS200 desktop is hard to beat. It can actually search the entire military air band from 225 to 380 mHz in 70 seconds!!! That's 155 Mhz total in 70 seconds. But I do have to lockout about 10 birdies. In the 90s I had an AOR 1500 scanner that was the best on air band ever. Too bad I accidentally ruined that old radio about 10 years ago.
Is it legal to own without a fcc license
Anything is legal to OWN, transmitting is a different story

👏Ótimo custo benefício o tidradio 👏
Good video I ordered one yesterday. Patently waiting 😂
buy uvk5 much MUCH better then this, and they can be unlocked up to several ghz
Is there a difference between the UV-17R Plus And the UV-17R Pro ??
The problem is that you can't coppy frequencies to a different radio model it has to be the same model
Worst radio you can buy.

What button do you press for YES, when you want to go to GMRS mode. I see a green yes and a red not

Hello. Can you please send me link to download the software version that you used to program the rt21? The latest downloadable version on their site is quite restrictive. Thank you in advance.
I actually put links to the original video that I learned it from! Links in video description.
I gave my Baofeng radios to the kids to play with out back.
Video title doesn't serves its' purpose. You said How to put but never told us how to put?
You can program all ham frequencies into the unit just to listen all you want! Use CHIRP with a cable or enter using keypad. Enjoy!
I don’t think so! Sorry!
Can you program them to the emergency channel 16, on 156.8mhz..??
Elderly couple here we just bought one of these we have the FM and weather station working but how do we listen to ham on here we do not want to transmit just listen for emergencies
Well there's 2 particular "Ham" frequency bands on this radio. They are the 2 Meter and 70CM bands. Depending on where you live and distance to repeaters you may or may not hear. I really recommend researching how to use "Chirp" software on your radio. If you have a computer and you will also need to by an F Type chord it will really help you
