This video is an update to the full review video I recently made for the Tidradio TD-H3 GMRS and Ham Radio combination hand-held radio. In this video I go over many of the things I glazed over in my full review video and I answer several viewer-questions about the TD-H3.

Thumbs up for the Ferris Bueller opening.
I bought two right now because of you, never change Rubicon, never change.
Not a Rubicon!
I went and bought myself one in the Crystal Clear color. 🤩
"I won't pull the trigger and transmit on the HAM frequencies because..." [then curiously all the radios behind him light up]
Classic. u-tooberie jenius!!
I ended up getting two TD-H3s up here in Canuckistan. Thank you for making these videos.
The other night I was listening in on the two security guards at hospital flirting with each other.
Randy's awesome. Love every video, the gold standard for GMRS
if you read this i hope your having a nice day
Thank you sir! I am indeed, having a more than adequate day. I hope yours is going at least as well.
@@TheNotaRubicon thanks Andy 😄
Sadly, I don’t know how to read. Be blessed ya’ll!
You too! 🤘😎🤘
man didn't even take an hour for the pinned comment to go up dude must have just been waiting for Randy to post another video so he could be the winner this time lol!
In a perfect world Randy would be president.
At least this man speaks clearly
right-in campaign! 🏁🏁🏁
LOL, here's the fucking flashlight. Love it
Long time watcher, first time commenter. “Here’s the fucking flashlight you freaks” funniest thing I’ve heard
I bought five on your review. and the whole family loves them. Sons are fighter jockey and with the AM band antenna they can hear everything going on at work.
I live near an airport, and I bought one of the bundles with a dedicated air-band antenna. Works at least as well as my other (more expensive) HT that is air band capable. Not sure the antenna makes that much difference. Seems to work equally well with either the air-band or the usual rubber duck antenna. Note, I haven't tried using the air band antenna to TX on any GMRS or ham frequencies.
I forgot to mention that I smile every time you use your pointer.

I tried the link to the invisible one but I can't see it...
How do I activate the scramble mode on a h3 radio
I always appreciate the thorough reviews, peppered with your wit, intentional mispronunciation of words, sarcasm, etc.
That said, when you were covering “Blueteeths” programming, I was laughing my ass off over here looking at the other apps on the phone. Great attention to detail. 🤪🤣 Educational and entertaining. 👍🏻
Same here...hilarious 🤣
Hands down the funniest review yet! Like repeatedly pressing the PPT key and saying no one could tell, meanwhile, watching the screen light up.....🤣 you're toooooo much!
It was hilarious watching all of the radios in the background light up 😂
Thank you for another great video. I'm no longer a newbie radio enthusiast. I enjoy reading all the comments, we seem to be a nice group of knuckleheads.
I couldn't resist, I'm a sucker for the Kawasaki green.
I've been watching for years awesome job. Ive learned a lot from your video's. Sarcasm is on point.
Thanks a lot for making me wait I just got mine today! Funny you also released a video as well.
Now to order the 10W units.
Great follow-up vid. I ❤my "dark-colored" TD-H3 even tho I had to wait for it.
Thanks for this update, helped clear up the HAM/GMRS/Normal modes - how Normal mode works. Good add on the phone Bluetooth programming! Cannot wait to try it.
Keep up the reviews and making us laugh along the way.
Just ordered mine! Will be turning to my FAVORITE CZcams GMRS PODCASTER AND SPIRITUAL GURU for all of the info I need to make my GMRS dreams come true!
Ive got a couple now. Got a few friends to finally upgrade their old Buophangs as well. Awesome little radio.
Enjoy the info provided and the way it is passed on to us
Best thing I’ve watched all day.
These radios work much better than others I have that were much more expensive. Love the channel Randy!
I bought a pair last month thanks to your honest opinion and affiliate link....
OMG not only educational but you had me rolling on the floor with laughter. Nice video.
My favorite T-Shirt 😂. I have one now. Thanks!
Literally just got mine today. so a victim of you're stardom. thanks!
Another great video, Randy. I purchased one as well. Thanks.
Just received my 2nd 2-Pack!
Great recap on the TD-H3 and fun shirt 😅
Thank you for the update Sir. Much appreciate the roger beep at the end. I think this should be on every video you create and post. I know so many would appreciate it, and appreciate the misery it causes those identified as Some People.. I am going to order one of these radios in the am.
Wow... You got the Commies and Race Baiters pissed in one video! You rock! Love what you do!!!
Ordered one with your vs video and I guess mine has finally cleared customs. Scheduled for delivery Friday 24th…..thanks kids. Videos greatly appreciated. “RB”
Nobody knows that me n mine use these radios and any other ham radios we want to freely.
Thank you ham radio superstar for another stellar review of the Tidradio
Just purchased 2 TD-h3s in the clear case. Awesome radios. Working on a chirp file for them right now. I was very impressed with the TD-h8s so thought I would give them a go, and glad I did. They are much gooder than the uv5r.
You are awesome Randy you always make me laugh. In a world full of ignorant people this laughter is greatly needed.
Gotta love it.
Thx Bro!
Have 2 of them and the H8 an Uv K6 with Egzumer on it.
They all do well and are Flexible if you will.
Spectrum analyzer is nice on the 6. No BS.
Yep, still waiting for a June 18th delivery because of your over saturation video. Haha, it'll be nice to get it. Thanks!
Great picture on the background ))
As usual a hilarious video. Thank you for making this "normal" laugh
Great video Farris 👍🏻
The green lights were wonderful 😂
Thank you for video. 📻
yessss, another cleverly seeded-in Ferris line.....sometimes I forget what this channel is about, I just keep coming back for some of the most brilliant multi layered humor I've ever seen. Nobody anywhere delivers pauses like a boss like this, bravfuckinO!
Great Video Man! I'm Buying The Clear Walkie Talkie!
I got my 2 pack of green after waiting over a month or so. Had my daughter walk to the otherside of the neighborhood and the sound quality is awesome! I had my son and daughter talking on the scramble mode while i listened on another radio and couldnt understand what they were saying, thats cool! Didnt know about normal mode, thats gonna happen. I also didnt know these are boofwang's. At least thats what the manual states. Bitchen little radios, thanks Randy!
Dude.... You're not right in the head... But funny as hell. Your sarcasm this top notch. I've always enjoyed your videos and always learn something. Thanks for the education.
I'm laughing so hard that my eyes are tearing. Great video!
I bought the green. Haven’t used them yet but believe it’s not so important to do right away. My time is best like when I get around to it
Why do you feel the need to announce your laziness to the Interwebs? Just curious.
How many fars can your Jeep go off road on a full tank of gases? 😂😂 Love your videos!!!
Love the shirt.. Great job
I am hooked to look at every video to see when the sacred pointer will be chewed on all the way to the metal band holding the eraser!!!😅
Great & funny ! Thanks !!! 😂
Thanks!
Both USB-C & Bluetooth syncing without having to buy that antiquated USB serial cable makes this radio an instant buy.
That shirt is so cool, thanks for making me laugh 😂
I bricked my UHF TX function on my UV-5R because I messed with any other settings BEFORE I watched this video. Irregardless, I hope you're having a good day, and if you're new, welcome!
@notarubicon, great info as always. Can you please elaborate on the power vs 'fars' irrelevance for this radio? I am concerned about the lower than 5W power transmission you've shown on your two reviews. Many thanks!
On an hand-held radio and NOT connected to an external antenna, there is virtually no difference in fars between 3 watts and 5 watts - watch this video about it: czcams.com/video/hPWaoLaDowI/video.html
Always best presentation! I think i wrote it again, but will repeat it here in your new video. Despite the fact that it can receive RF electricities starting on 18 till 500 mhz, in the range of 27 does not receive any of my phonetics via my cb at a fars of 1 meter or more. In fars less than that, it definitely grabs some of my cb's spurious emmissions.
Try an antenna that is tuned for 27Mhz..

I work a lot outdoors and in cluttered areas, so just bought the high-vis green, using the .... affiliate link below.😎
You said Mahna Mahna. Damn now that song is stuck in my head hehe...
I'm new to the hobby, and still learning. I'm Currently monitoring with the Midland GXT mobile and rtl-sdr. I was wondering how well the 100ft of rg8X and my Tram-1411 discone scanner antenna I have @ 20ft would pair with the AnyTone AT-778UV mobile I plan on ordering from Amazon soon. Do you think this would have decent range for a beginner's base setup?
Ah yes, a few days after your review I ordered the two-pack. TD shows mine will be delivered June 13-ish; oh well not a big deal.
Update, today 2024-05-27, the TD H3 two pack arrived.
Please tell us again now, what buttons to push to copy-clone one TD3 to another. I saw your older video but couldn’t follow the steps you quickly demonstrated. Thanks.
I found the answer to my above question actually on Amazon, scrolling far down under the product description. Now though when I do the steps, my TD-3 screen says, “error.” Any thoughts on that please?
I used to have issues with spurious emissions when I was a young lad, but thankfully that was only a brief phase that I quickly outgrew. 💦
Love the shirt
Randy..,.....We Are in Aw Of your Greatness
I know.
HA HA HA ..... Fantastic video as usual!
Can you upgrade the antenna
What kind of charging ports does it have ? Usb or battery?
Thank you so much Mr Nota I understood before I'm so glad you're explaining things for all the second graders that complain, wait I'm sorry if I offended the second graders
When will the TD-H8 PRO, or whatever they are going to call it, be available?
The QUEEN
Double PTT is awesome
Bahahahaha
Awesome
And love the screen pulls
My wife is impressed with the “two-finger” feature.
Neat radio!
Please tell me that you have a published document of your excellent technical lexicon.
Love the shirt 😂
Truck driver here, Recently found you and subscribed, i hav3 cb now ane looking to get in to more of this different radios what do you guys suggest to buy?
Do not give up on your CB. Driving the road I have not heard road reports on GMRS as I do with the CB. GMRS is mostly used by off roaders, families and friends driving in separate vehicles staying in touch, campers, hikers, and the like. All those mentioned are excellent GMRS uses.
Ordered one 3 days after the last video. No delay in shipping. I call BS…. 😂
Don't apologize. I had to cancel my order after watching your video knowing you were the cause.
Just my experience if I use Chitp on Windows 11 the power settings will be low on the TD-H3 regardless of what Chirp shows. On Macbook there is no problems.
I already have a td-h8, why do i need a td-h3 for my jega wall of radios if the h8 has 5 more of numbers.
You missed mine bricking while following instructions and using the cable pictured on their site. It must be a production date issue or something that cause some to brick and not others.
Is there an additional charge for the programming or is that included ?
I didn't pick up on it if you said it. But, if you put it in normal mode, does it erase all the pre-programmed GMRs go away.
Best to download a CHIRP file of current GMRS configuration, but in short, yes
I picked up this radio when I watched your first video on it. Its great, does what I need and is easy enough to use and program. However, I was really disappointed to find out, in the field, that the OD master app is basically useless without an internet connection. Correct me if I am wrong, but without network the TD-H3 doesn't even show up in the model list. Even if it had the program and settings button pops up a toast saying "Network connection failed". I get it, it can back up your configs, but it shouldn't need a network connection just to communicate over Bluetooth with the radio.
Oh man I love you
Couldn't you just start in "normal" mode and program the ham freq's, the GMRS and FRS freq's, and any other freq's and just have a good all around freq radio?
yep! that's just about the best use case in my opinion. i've got gmrs, walmart, noaa, and frequencies I use for work programmed into mine.
In unlocked mode does it automatically use low power on the gmrs low power channels when transmitting like in gmrs mode?
Dang! For under $85 you can get two radios with extra batteries and antennas. App and USB programming is very attractive too.
Randy! I missed you!
What would i need to transmit least 200 miles far as upgraded antenna?
In anticipation of the screen peel, I may have... Lets say spontaneously spuriously emitted.. is this normal. Am i normal. Help?
Bright green radio + roger beep = victory
Evocative
Being first isn't all it's cracked up to be!
No T-Shirt? No bumper stickers?
You are genuinely entertaining sir. Lol
