I have been using the H8 2nd generation radios for about a week and I have been impressed with the performance. I have run the H8 radios through their paces on an IFR 1200s service monitor and used the radios in the field.

Programming is easy and I was able to figure out the system wihtout needing to consult the manual. The receiver is very sensitive, giving a readable signal with less than 1/10th uV (-130 dBm). Adjacent channel rejection is also good. The transmitter is also impressive. Frequency accuracy is within 10 to 50 Hz of dead on. The CTCSS deviation is about 500 - 600 Hz and audio deviation is about 6 KHz at normal speaking levels in wide mode. Power output is close to the advertised 10 Watts near the bottoms of both VHF and UHF bands. Power output gradually decreases as frequency increases in both bands. The H8 is one of the most consistently powerful HTs I have tested. Spectral purity is also good with all distortion at least 60 dB below carrier.

I have found the H8 to be very user friendly and a good value for the price. I am pleased with the purchase and would buy the H8 radios again.

Coming soon buy radio

I'm really happy with this little powerhouse. Everything works perfectly, build quality is excellent, Battery's great too. Will definitely recommend this radio to my ham-friends.

I honestly never really give 5 stars to anything but this will be a first I think. I just got into GMRS and of course have a few baofeng radios that this programmer is supposed to work with. And it sure does. Easy to use, no Bluetooth issues, and I now have access to repeaters. It finds and imports repeaters as well as gives you a much broader programming capabilities. Worth the money.

I like the TD-H3 that I got from Tidradio. It’s small yet big on features. The first thing that I was excited about was the ability to make the radio operate on GMRS
frequencies or Ham radio frequencies. I have some family members that would never try to get a Ham license. They would however consider getting a GMRS license. This would give me the opportunity to talk with family members on the radio if phone systems went down. I am licensed in both Ham radio and GMRS.
By using this radio, my family members can see how GMRS would work for them. I can choose the GMRS mode and not have to worry that they might accidentally transmit on ham frequencies. This radio has usb-c charging which is awesome. It has one of the brightest lights on a radio that I have ever seen.
How much do I like this radio…..enough to buy 4 of them. That’s right I purchased 3 other TD-H3 radios to have as backup radios. They are easy to program especially with the Bluetooth capability. If I need to program a new frequency into the radio, I just open the proper App on my phone and the job is done. The screen is full color so you aren’t just looking at a fuzzy LCD display.
The battery is a full 2500 mah size to keep you on the air for a long time. I had to get my wife at the airport recently and was able to load frequencies for the tower and incoming flights and enjoy that part of the radio as well. When you first get the radio you will notice that it is small in size. Don’t let that fool you because it is big on performance.

For the cost, this package is a great way to get into ham radios. Very intuitive and easy to learn. It might not be as good as my Baofengs, but it is better than my other chinese UV-5R radios. The reception is surprisingly clear, and the battery life is excellent. The bunch of extras of this kit makes the price alright. Just keep in mind you'll need your license to operate these radios.

The features packed into such a small footprint makes this the perfect grab and go radio for every day use. I especially like the similarities to the big brother TD-H8. My only suggestion is to try and expedite the process of getting s supply of spare batteries and have RT Systems develop their software for this HT. It is definitely a five star rated radio.

Hands down, the Tidradio H3 & H8 have the best screen designs in their category. Colorful and perfectly laid out, with the option to simplify. This radio is surprisingly rugged for its size. It has a beefy 2500 mAh battery. It easily fits in my pockets, belt clip, or about anywhere without being uncomfortable or in the way. And the audio quality is very good.

Now for the really good stuff! It has Airband that I enjoy listening to. And it can be programmed with the traditional Kenwood cable, via Wireless Bluetooth, and my favorite is using the USB Type-C cable. You can use the Tidradio app, Odmaster Web, Odmaster Mobile, or Chirp. I don't know another radio that programs via USB Type-C.

With this being a version 1.0 release, there are a couple of things that need improving, but based on my experience with Tidradio support, I have no doubt that we'll be seeing some exciting updates ahead.

Thank you, Tidradio, for another great handheld radio.

Very good radio, simple to use.
