radio image means a download of the data from the radio that matches your radio. I don't even see a UV-5RH on the read from radio list in my CHIRP.. maybe i need to update.. but is that you exact radio or did you choose the wrong one? possibly UV-5RH is a new radio for CHIRP and it is not working right yet?

That's like getting a ticket for not wearing your seat belt .... but only because you were speeding and running red lights.

I walked into the Ham Radio Outlet in Anaheim a few months ago. I was (and still am) pretty much a noob as far as radios… and I had my new H3… I just went in to browse since it was all new to me. I asked the sales guy a few questions here and there and he asked what I was using so I pulled my little H3 off my belt and showed him… his response “Yeah well those are not legal”… I showed him the certification under the battery and he says, “sometimes they just re use numbers from something else”. I went home and looked it up on the FCC site. The old sad ham was full of $h1t. Kinda turned me off to that place.

That sounds awesome!

I have had very good performance with my BTech Nagoya UT-72G. and much better than my HT inside the car!

So sad, another one bites the dust! (welcome to the cult)

What (specific) frequencies or GMRS Channels are you hearing them on? They may be using repeaters, and you are on a non-repeater channel and/or not setup with the proper tone to activate the repeater. or they might be using a tone to listen to only their own group and can't hear you because you are not on that tone either. You can check the repeater map on this site to see if there are repeater systems near you... if they are open they might list the tones to activate them... or you might need to join their club to get access to them.

Even though the app told me it was the latest and updated... I removed it from my phone... and re-downloaded it. Now it works. Go figure. Hope this helps someone else if they run across this problem

When I first got my TD-H3 radios I know I was able to connect to the radios with the OD Master phone app via bluetooth and read and update the radio, but I found I preferred CHIRP over ODmaster so I have not used it in a while. But I wanted to test and see if it was working because I wanted to instruct a friend on how to do it for their radio, and I wanted to review the process. I recently tried to open the app and read the radio settings in... but it is not reading. I have confirmed that bluetooth is on for both the radio and my iphone I have the latest version of the app it will see and connect to the radio in the app as I select it I have properly selected the radio as TD-H3 GMRS (which is what my radio is set up as) and it recognizes it But when I hit the button to READ from the radio... the progress bar appears (gray) but never moves... nothing happens. (several months back I did roll back my radio firmware to 240625 from the 240702 (when TIDRADIO recommended it) Could it no be breading because I need to update the firmware?) I can't seem to make it read the radio for programming. any thoughts? Ideas? Similar experiences? Solutions? thanks.

That sounds like a good solution to me.

When I got my Callsign back in June... it took two or three days before it showed on the myGMRS website.

I can't reproduce this. are you seeing the transmit bars go up when you do this? I never would have use for VOX anyway but... seems odd.

Really? Hmm... interesting. Will need to take a look at that. Does anyone know of mobile GMRS units that do that?

It would be nice if there was an indicator that would stay on after transmission, showing the last channel to receive activity while monitoring multiple channels. But I do not know of a radio that does that.

The TD-H3 also does this.
