My fault for not mentioning coming from a UV-5R. Charging with a USB-C was an upgrade? Scanning CTCSS codes and STILL seeing information on the COLOR screen was an upgrade? Power at the antenna being over 5w on the TD-H3 was an upgrade. Having 2 PTT buttons instead of switching from A/B manually, upgrade. And to be fair, the only thing I see as a downgrade is not being able to listen to a channel while the other is scanning. You must have nicer boofwangs.

After upgrading handhelds from Baofeng and Quanshengs to a TD-H3, I'm running into some limitations. I'm aware of being able to reset the radio into either Ham/GMRS modes. And it's nice that the GMRS reset populates the radio with default channels. Would it be typical to program a separate GMRS channel, including a tone to a radio? For example, GMRS3 is in slot 3. But I want to add GMRS3 (Tone 1) in a separate slot. Between using Tidradio's software, Chirp, and Odmaster(Bluetooth) it looks like the default 1-22 channels and 8 repeater channels are what they are. The remaining slots up to 54 are repeater only (you can only select repeater frequencies and the Tx is offset automatically) And slot 55-199 are any Rx frequency, but no Tx is permitted. My question is, if I want a tone on a channel, I need to edit the existing channel? This is my first "almost real" GMRS radio, so I'm learning what can and can't be done. Thanks!
