Well I waited for over a month for TIDRADIO to send me a TD-H3, I got tired of waiting and went and bought 3 TD-H3 radios to test. This radio is really good, but seems to have some real consistency problems, both on output power for the low-power setting, and on harmonics from one radio to the next.
I show how you can program this radio with 3 different methods.
And a cool feature for copying a frequency and "code" from another radio that is transmitting.
This radio could easily be the best hand held radio for under $40 if they would just fix a couple of inconsistency problems!
