Are there 2 different channel modes on the TD-H3? When pressing the orange V/M button, the voice prompt says "channel mode" twice. Seems like it is cycling through 3 different modes.

@WRXB215 My understanding of this radio (TD-H3) is that it can transmit on both HAM and GMRS only when the radio is in Normal mode. Someone correct me if I am wrong about this. If that is true, I was wondering what the difference is between the HAM and GMRS versions being sold on Amazon. The antennas are different and the FCC ID#'s are different. I wasn't sure if there was anything else that made the radios different.

When I put my GMRS version in Normal mode, the GMRS channels are no longer programmed into memory, and I thought you could transmit on HAM and GMRS in Normal mode, and HAM frequencies when in HAM mode, even if it's an advertised GMRS version.

So, is the only difference between the HAM and GMRS versions of the TD-H3 sold on amazon the antenna that comes with the radio (and the FCC ID#)?

For now I have it set to GMRS mode. I have a local repeater on the A band and a local HAM on the B band to listen. When I press the middle PTT button, I noticed that the red light comes on and the screen indicates that I am transmitting. Now I don't have any of the tones setup for that frequency, but I was surprised that the radio acted like it was transmitting. I expected a tone or nothing to indicate that transmitting on HAM was not possible. Just curious.

I just got this radio. Which mode do you guys run in? I have a GMRS license, but no HAM license yet. Is there any advantage to running in Normal mode versus GMRS mode?

Update: I reached out to Radioddity through Amazon, and they said the manufacturer's feedback was misprinted labels. They confirmed the actual capacity is 2500mah.

Maybe they misprinted some battery labels and just decided to use them anyway. It just bothers me a little that I might not have a legit battery. I don't have any real way to test the battery, and I don't have another uv-5g plus to run a comparison.

WRXB215, Understood, I'm more concerned that the 308 casings have not been properly labeled and may cause damage to my rifle.

WRKX686, Can you let me know how you got that info? All the product pages say 2500mah, and I have watched several video reviews where the reviewers say it's 2500mah.

The battery doesn't appear to be physically larger. I'm suspicious.

I recently purchased a Baofeng UV-5G Plus from Amazon (1 Pack, sold by Radioddity). The listed battery capacity is 2500mah, but my battery label says 3500mah. Can anyone else confirm which battery they have? Any reason for concern?

I have two of these radios and so far I like them. One thing I have found to be annoying is that they don't seem to charge if I'm using a fast charging brick. I'm guessing this is some kind of limitation with the type c port on the batteries. Most of my chargers these days are some form of fast charging, so I have to search for an older brick to make sure I'm not using a fast charger. Sorry if this has been covered already.

Thanks blastco2. I have a follow up question. I have one of the side buttons on the radio programmed to Scan with a long press. Which type of scan does that initiate? Is it a memory scan of only channels that I have toggled to Allow Scan?

Does anyone with this radio know if their is a difference between the Scan button on the mobile app next to Dual CH and the Scan found in Device Settings on the mobile app? Are they scanning in different ways? Is there a way to Scan only the channels/frequencies that you have toggled to Allow scan?
