## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (2nd Generation) TIDRADIO TD-H8 10W HighPower Ham Radio Handheld
*by A***R on December 31, 2024*

I've been putting this radio through the ringer and it is doing great.It has three modes you can boot this in: Ham radio, GMRS or Open Transmit. You can program it with Odmaster in Bluetooth, or Chirp with a connection to your computer. I suppose that someone else is writing other apps to program this with bluetooth as you read this.You can boot this up to GMRS, or to Ham, or to an open transmit mode. I have been using this in GMRS and just programmed it for Ham. It is much easier to program this in Chirp or some other format and upload the radio to Odmaster than it is to program it in Odmaster. But, it is great to have Odmaster to program a channel or two in the field or to update a channel.I found that I can save the Odmaster file to CSV from GMRS, then save a CSV from Ham, and copy and past the fields from one to the other and make a new CSV file that can be imported into Odmaster as Ham, GMRS or open transmit.Now, I don't use GMRS much, but if I decide to, I can reboot to GMRS and it only takes a minute to load the date from Odmaster and I can operate GMRS and scan or listen to the ham side. The reverse is also true. I can operate the ham side while listening to GMRS. If I really need to I can load the open transmit and do either. I leave it on Ham mode since I rarely need GMRS.I am in a place where I hear the local repeater as well as an out of town repeater during the evening hours. The local repeater has a different output tone from the input tone. I discovered that when I set the output tone programming the radio direct, that it changed the input tone as well. So if you need different tones, set the output tone first, then the input tone and it works perfectly.It only has 199 memories,so after loading all of the GMRS, WX, and ham repeaters and simplex frequencies in the state, I only have about 85 or so channels to scan local fire, etc. (I think I'll manage hihi.)I currently leave it in the car like a mobile, connected to an outside antenna. It works great. I can hit the local repeater and a couple of distant repeaters even on medium power.Be aware, I believe this is the first handheld that I have had that actually transmits on the WX frequencies if you have them programmed in. And, to the best of my knowledge, you can't turn off transmit on any frequency programmed in on open mode.The Boafengs can be programmed in chirp to not transmit on scanner frequencies. I would love to see that feature in this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get one or two.
*by K***M on March 31, 2025*

I'm a gear hound. I picked one of these beauties up and gave it a go. I just purchased a second one.Feels great in the hand and solid. Belt clip is easy to attach. Lots of bells and whistles. Well worth the money. Can be programmed via Bluetooth (With Odmaster App on cellphone - Android and iPhone), cable (included) or on the keyboard. Haven't had the battery give out yet. Color display is engaging without being garish or distorted. Easy to read. Includes pretty much everything you need for a complete station on your belt. External mic is solid and sounds great on both transmit and receive.Can't comment on Weather band because my area is a bit spotty, but it does function.It's possible to "open up" the frequency range to beyond the Amateur Radio frequency allocation with a combination of key presses upon power-up to include FRS, GMRS and MURS, but know that the FCC kind of frowns on such actions, so proceed at your own risk. ;)10 Watts is a "touch much" for a handheld, so I keep it at two or five Watts to prevent overheating (it gets "slightly warm" during a long keydown) and to maximize battery life, although it comes with two.With an external antenna and power supply this unit would make for a fine low powered base or mobile station.All in all, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one (or two) up.See you on the air. :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best radio for the money. HAM and GMRS capable and massive power!!
*by J***N on March 3, 2025*

Great radio for the price. Power is 9w plus on all channels and up to 14w on some of the frequencies (Note: There is a GMRS version of this package and even unlocked it puts out less than 5 watts on GMRS so get this one). Can be completely unlocked to do HAM and GMRS for both TX and RX.The kit is very complete and everything works better than I expected. I was able to talk in simplex at 20+ miles from one unit to the other with just the supplied antennas.. I tried the TD-H3 version as well as the TD-H8GMRS version. This is by far the best choice. I also tried the BTech FR-BH8Pro and I like this radio the best.The SWR on the supplied antennas is a little high on the 70cm bands so I may upgrade those but with a rat tail it is in the acceptable range at 2.5 or so.I also used the radios for communication while skiing with a friend and it was fantastic with the supplied ear pieces. We used the stubby antennas and kept the radios in our pockets and were able to communicate without any issue. The PTT button on the earpieces was large enough to be able to press with my gloves on while skiing (Note: I was not able to get the VOX to work with the ear pieces but I dont know if that was supposed to be like that).The bluetooth programming is also great and finally it is CHIRP compatible and comes with the cable. I programmed them on a MAC and it connected immediately with no issues.For less than $40 per radio there is alot of value. I like them so much I order another set so I could have 4. Can't wait to try them while camping this summer.
