I don’t think he is speaking fast I think he sped up the record speed in order to fit the video to share
Thank you ! That is exactly why. I am glad you understand.
Clear as mud.
Nice information...Thanks
Thanks. I can't imagine using 350 Mhz for an uplink...
Now I understand why some many people are sale those radios …probably are good for use without a repeater
Nice!! Thanks for sharing. Now I gotta have one lol
They’re great little radios
A couple of notes: If you have stuff programmed in one of the modes, and change modes, it resets the radio, so you lose any memories you had saved. BUT, the radio has Bluetooth, and can be programmed over bluetooth via the odmaster phone app. So if you save changes there, you can easily re-load the settings from your phone in the field with no cable needed. Also nice if you travel and want to easily load settings for different areas.
Thank you for these notes ! It will help me, and other operators with this radio !
I've been playing around with it but can't figure out how to clone radios with the OD master app. Is it possible or do I need to use windows?
FYI: The 3 firmware files (ham, GMRS and unlocked) are all identical binaries. The 3 “setup” executable files are all different from one another.
Thank you !
Ham, GMRS, & European mode!
You don't have to use the K plug for firmware updates. I updated mine using the USB C port, but I did have to use my newer Windows PC to get the 340 chip to show up on USB-C.
Thanks for letting me know. I have heard of some not having luck with USB-C firmware updating. Thanks for the tip !!
I also have upgraded firmware through the USB-C.
More on this please. Liked and subscribed !
Thank you. I did make you other videos on this radio previously Thank you for you subscription !
I definitely appreciate the H3 content. I just returned my UV-5G Plus's in favor of these. My only beef with them so far is the tiny buttons. I'm interested in more firmware and some field testing would be cool.
Now that you experienced h3 performance, how do you compare it to baofeng uv- 5g plus? Is this radio (h3) better in terms of sound quality , functionality and transmit/receive coverage than the baofeng ?
@@joewebertv To be fair to the Fengs I'm pretty new to radios. I was going to keep them as well because they seem simple to use being only GMRS. However also buying a Wouxun Kg-q10h forced me to drop one.
I didn't test any of their transmissions voice quality but the both receive pretty much equally.
The Fengs transmit 9 Watts and H3s 5.5W according to my surecom readings.
@@rosswalther2538 Oh I see. Thanks for your reply 😊
Is the airband finally compatible with 8.33 spacing?
I'll save you watching the video. It's software that differentiates
I bought the Ham TD-H3 version, but I only have a GMRS license. Can I just switch the radio to GMRS until I get 1st level Ham?
Yes. To switch, hold both the PTT button and the * key pressed while powering on. Then select “GMRS”.
@@cyberia55 Thanks just wondering if it is legal.
@@ronaldraymond7037 yes, its legal
Yes it’s legal. If you select GMRS mode, you should be allowed to listen to the ham portions but the radio won’t allow you to transmit. Should make an audible “cancel” if you tried.
great little cute radio for yea man bag, but it lacks the power for the price :)
Yes, I think this is the start of some more powerful radios with these features to come !
I have two of the GMRS versions. One from Amazon, and one from Tidradio, both have the shorter antenna that looks just like your short antenna. I have seen the longer one an ham CZcams videos. This is strange.
Yes, I also saw some get a Bluetooth PPT wrist strap with larger antenna and short antenna !
I don't think there is really any difference between the "ham" and "GMRS" versions of the radio. I am guessing they just provide antennas that are better tuned to one or the other. Did you find any other real differences?
It’s the same radio, just what version of the software is loaded on it. The GMRS model still comes with a 144/440 antenna.
And the radio still receives both sets of frequencies, but prevents transmit of the version you don’t have loaded.
Eric I cant find the updates. Can you do a video showing the full instructions of where to get the up dates and what I need to completely update the radio thanks.
Radio color cases are to long in coming out! I had the idea for brightly colored cases 30 years ago! So you could easily find your radio, if dropped in the woods!
Tape !
I'm the opposite..in a SHTF scenario where you need to be in Hiding and talking on your radio....you don't want a Neon Green or Glowing transparent Radio.
@@eijentwun5509my thoughts exactly
How do I just listen to traffic please 🙏
hit the V/M button and in VFO mode enter the frequency you want to listen to.
Watts the difference between ‘GMRS’ and ‘NORMAL’?
Normal will open up the frequency ranges for transmitting
@EricTechstuffs open up what frequencies? All of them, both gmrs and ham?
@@rticul8862 GMRS, ham business, police, and anything else in the UHF and VHF ranges in your area.
Is it waterproof?
No rating is specified.
no
GRMS?
@@EricTechstuffs no. General Mobile Radio Service.
Alphabet soup on my end. GMRS ! MY bad !
@@skooterclown I sure misspoke a bit ! You are right ! 👍
Where can I learn what all this radio jargon means. Asking seriously, I don't know anything about radio, but I ended up with one of these radios.
You’re in the same boat as me. I am looking at where the world is headed and figure it may be a good idea to get some basics down

Just unlock it🙄
@Eric Techstuffs Could you PLEASE stop saying "gRMs” instead of GMRS? Thank you.
Yes. I am sorry. I will properly mention GMRS properly in the future !
If he talks any faster he must be tweaking,learned nothing from speed talker
Thanks !
Perfect speed for a New Yorker like me!
True, unwatchable, talks a million miles an hour. What's the point.
Slow people can watch it slower by adjusting the playback speed. Sloths need love too
@@josephpaul8911 Yes, speed adjustable... I had to slow it down to 1.8 from my normal 2.2x. 😂
