TIDRADIO TD-H3 Ham Radio In-Depth Review
The TIDRADIO TD-H3 is a super compact little HT with some interesting tricks up its sleeve! One of the first handhelds capable of being programmed via Bluetooth, K-Type Jack Plug and USB-C with built in chip - so can be programmed with just a stock USB-C cable like the one that comes with a phone charger. Drivers are plug and play under Windows 10 and 11.
This is an indepth look at this incredibly cheap chinese made HT. Feel free to skip to the sections that interest you since this is a LONG video covering a range of topics!

AM & FM, all EU modes plus the ability to export the radio to use on the 10m ham band if licenced too! The noise reduction circuit (NRC) is also very impressive, particularly on the AM mode. It's an attractive package for around £99 in the UK ($125 USD or 115 EUR). I wasn't going to do a review of...

So this little video came about because I sold a President Lincoln II to a guy on eBay and after he installed it in his van he lost the 11m band.

This video shows how to restore those missing channels. I hope people find it useful. Pleas...

    Hi Simon, good review. I have one of these and I am amazed by it. I replaced the stock antenna with a Nagoya N771 antenna and I can speak to a friend of mine 10.3 miles as the crow flies, on VHF & UHF ham bands no problem! Hope to catch you on PMR again. Cheers. Steve de 26TM372.

    • @Transmission1
      @Transmission1 13 дней назад

      Thanks! I was using the Retevis RHD-771 in part of the testing - seems to work great although Steve I was working with in the video seemed to think the stock antenna was better on 2m but it could have been down to conditions - we were pushing the limits of distance in the tests from his location. I love the TD-H3 for its compact size and it still manages to produce at least 4w on high power. Great value for the $30 or less!

    Just watching it now very informative. You may mention it later, but which is better this one or h8 thx

    • @Transmission1
      @Transmission1 13 дней назад

      Thank you. It all depends if you need the AM airband on this model or the extra power on the TD-H8. It's a difficult one to call since they both have similar features. The USB-C programming with the built in chip is nice to have in this model but they both can use Bluetooth and the cloud based ODmaster software so that might not be the main consideration. All depends how you are going to use it! TD-H3 is more pocket sized.

    Great review, and great channel. What I dont get is on UK 40 (27/81) you have less then 4 watts across the band? Doesnt quite make sense when the legal max., is 4 watts... That aside it's a great set up for the money and the sound quality - especially on AM.. fantastic. 🙂👍

    • @Transmission1
      @Transmission1 Месяц назад

      Thanks for the comments! Yes the power seems to be tuned for optimum output on the midblock frequencies, probably as this is the most commonly used band outside of the UK - most of Europe uses those channels so I'm guessing they put the effort into that. The AM audio quality is excellent, I'd probably go as far as saying better than the FM too :) Sadly under used in the UK even though been legal for a long while..

      Yes, would agree with your comment but the Randy 3 is twice the price of the Thunderpole. FM does distort slightly as you turn the volume level up on the Thunderpole. That said it's great value and feels solid!

    In order to get a more accurate SWR reading, I made a ground plane plate out of a piece of 8"x7" 26 gauge aluminum roll flashing. With a 19/64" hole drilled dead center, it fits perfectly between the double male adapter and the antenna you are testing. Using this method I got perfect SWR readings on GMRS channels with two different radios using my 771G antennas, confirming - to me at least - they are optimized for those frequencies while non-GMRS frequencies had higher readings.
