They have had some spotty quality control, unfortunately. I really like mine, I have 4 of them. All tested good. But there are some that seem to just show up broken. A programming error where you couldn't transmit would get you the "YOU CAN'T DO THAT DUMMY" beep when you key up. If it's not doing that, and it's just outputting 0W, then yeah, they're probably NFG.

I thought it was one that's been neutered

Thankfully all laws (and rules) are moral and good... (I actually think that not linking repeaters on GMRS is a good rule. But rules are only as good as the enforcement thereof. If no one's going to enforce it....)
-
"illegally programmed" is...certainly a hell of a phrase to use.
-
Google tried.
-
EDIT: I didn't read onto the next page to see you answered my question haha.
-
When was that from? Just checked mine now and it's not on it:
-
By that logic, to someone who's a non English speaker using a GMRS radio, anyone speaking English is talking in code. I guess none of us get to use our radios now...

Tidradio h3 Plus gmrs radio possible glitchy formware?
amaff replied to daewon73's question in Technical Discussion
Can you post a screen-grab of what channel 26 looks like either through the ODMaster app or Chirp, if you're using it? That'd be the simplest way to actually see what the radio is trying to do. -
BORTHER THANK FOR USING BIG LETRS SO THEY READ EASY. MY EYES AINT SO GOOD AND I CANT GET TO A EYE DOC SINCE BARB LEFT AND TOOK THE KEYS GOBBLESS

Ok, now I'm confused as to what you're *actually* asking. First it sounded like you were looking for an antenna recommendation that could deal with moving around. Now it sounds like you HAVE an antenna and are looking for alternate mounting solutions? What's the problem you're actually trying to solve here?

Ma'am, this is a Wendy's...

It drives me bonkers that some radios are like this. Wouldn't shock me if this were one of them. Doesn't matter what's in 8-14, it won't transmit.
-
That's because it's a mobile radio and can't transmit at a low enough power output to be legal on 8-14. That's pretty much standard on mobile GMRS radios.
-
My cheap radios have like 50 menu options. You could say that about most of them.
-
-
Yep, pretty much. Or if there's an environment with a lot of traffic and you may not notice you're stepping on someone who started transmitting just before you, I guess, but at that point, pick a different channel.
-
Not usually, but I do when I'm in the race car and, even with molded earbuds, can't always hear whether or not my spotter's done transmitting. Other than that, no, no busy lock.
-
Decided to sniff around once I was home. WSHI569's in Somersville, CT. 162.475 appears to be the closest one, and isn't reporting as degraded or as an outage. So the question is: can he receive it on another radio and this one's misconfigured / goofy?
-
Try the other 6 NOAA frequencies? Without knowing where you are, we don't have any way to know what NOAA channel you SHOULD be hearing them on.

Can’t broadcast over some programmed channels TD H3
amaff replied to WSEB350's question in Technical Discussion
Something in the 50s, yeah. -
I'm really hoping that's a joke.

I'm not sure "investment" is the word I'd use

Good news. I found and reported a bug in the programming software (and worked with B2WR's support to show how to reproduce it, which they confirmed they were also seeing on their end) at the beginning of January, and whoever in east Asia is doing the development work on that...hasn't done anything with it yet. Which doesn't inspire confidence, unfortunately. Hopefully Chirp will end up getting the full functionality.
