For the price, it is unbelievable that so many features can be packed into this little device.The kit I ordered came with 2 Radios, 4 Antennas (that actually work), two base chargers, and two USB chargers for less than $30 per radio.I have several Yaesu radios and I love them. I'm not trying to compare the two. It would be awesome, however, if the Big 3 (Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom) would incorporate some of these features.The top features that I really like about this very affordable radio is the color screen, Bluetooth connectivity, phone app (ODMaster), USB-C programming with CHIRP, USB-C Charging, the clarity of the speaker, wireless radio cloning, and the outstanding TIDRadio customer service.The Tidradio TD-H3 is easy enough to program manually. It's no harder than a FT-60 to enter a repeater form the keypad. The ODMaster phone app is pretty cool. You can set all of the functions, and add/modify memory locations from your phone over Bluetooth. It even has a Repeater List option that displays all of the repeaters in your area. You simply select the Repeaters you want, and import them into your radio. I added 22 local repeaters in less than 4 minutes. Pretty amazing for a sub $30 radio.If you have more than one TD-H3, you can get one configured the way you like it, then clone it to another TD-H3 without any cables. It's outstanding.The screen is small, but clear and bright. It can be seen in bright sunlight. The speaker is loud and clear as well.This kit came with 4 antennas. Two "Ham" and two "AM/Air Band" antennas. I haven't put these on an analyser yet, but I can hit my local 2M repeater, which is 11 miles away, with no problems using the shorter "Ham" antenna.Being able to Program with CHIRP over a USB-C cable is great. I've only done this with the supplied USB-C cable. When it's plugged in, it shows up as a Com Port on my laptop. I tried my Anker USB-C/USB-C cable and I could not get CHIRP to recognize the radio. The supplied cable works perfectly, however.It's also awesome that I can charge the batteries with my USB-C cable in the car.If you purchase a kit, be sure to check UNDER the plastic packaging for the 2 longer antennas. I sent a message to TIDRadio support to tell them I didn't get them. Within a couple of hours, I got a response asking me to look under the packaging. There they were. The antennas are too long to fit in the box, so they coil them up and put them under the plastic packing tray.Good luck getting a response from Yaesu that quickly.Don't get me wrong. I'm not giving up my Yaesu radios. There is definitely a market, however, for inexpensive radios that are well built, feature rich, are are just plain fun to play with.It makes me scratch my head how a company like TIDRadio can come out of nowhere, and provide such an innovative device. When other companies have been around for close to 70 years, and they just keep reselling revisions of the same products year after year.Imagine an FT5DR with all of the added features of the TD-H3. The Big 3 need to pay attention to what the Chinese manufacturers are producing.

Super nice product. Great Value. I would buy again.

First off, the "fars"... not many fars in town. 2,600 feet, through average neighborhood, and trees, can hear clear as a bell.4,200 feet, 1.3km, useable, little hard to make out speech, in town (houses, trees, small hills between.)test made with one person standing outside, another in a moving vehicle. h3 to h3 gmrs band, factory antenna.the headset that ships with, I can't hear anything out of the earpiece, either radio, either headset, swapped around...I sent a message to the shipper, was told to turn up the gain on my mic.... sent a message back, to make clear, it's not a mic issue, or a mic gain issue.... can't even hear local radio stations on fm broadcast. sound is so faint, renders the headset useless. Haven't heard back from them.Charging base is funky..... it kinda' charges when it wants. I've tired wiggling, stuffing, cramming, ...lol. I gave up, just plug in a usb-c cable in the bottom of the battery, works like a champ.despite that, I ordered 4 more.They are small, great 'feel' to them. Has some weight. seems to receive pretty well. I was hearing some repeaters two counties over. No chance of talking on them, but i heard them. lol. Heard some folks testing some handhelds a county over...(think they had an external antenna hooked up though.)Overall, it's a decent little radio. I think you will average a half mile in an urban environment. your mileage may vary, but that seems about what I'm getting with my h-3's and factory antenna.as far as the features.... it has plenty. I'd suggest hitting the 'tubes' and watching some review videos.it's not a bad radio, may not be for everyone, but it does the job i need it to. as I said, I ordered 4 more h-3's.

I had a pair of UV-5R's prior. They are great radios but the new tech of these is on another level. Easy to program with the phone app via Bluetooth or on the PC. Cloning radios is a simple matter as well. I'm about 25 miles south of KPHX airport and can pickup airport traffic easily with my dual-band 'J' pole in the back yard.Be sure to install the USB driver and only plug the USB cable directly into the PC as the radio may not be recognized if plugged into a hub. Also, the programming is done through the USB on the side of the radio, NOT the charging port on the bottom.The first thing you should do is install CHIRP on your computer. It makes programming a snap.There is a learning curve but it's manageable once you know the basics.

Great walkie-talkiesEasy tonuse, can scsn 2 channels at same time.Works greatly with original.antenna or mobike or base station antenna
