Not much different that having your vehicle tag looked up. [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really? Wow. I’m a member of the North Georgia GMRS network, the largest linked GMRS network in the country, AND they use Zello. AND they’ve been operating this way for years. And if it were illegal I’m sure the FCC would have already done something about it. nggmrs.org Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tidradio H3 turned out to be Ham version instead of GMRS.
LeeBo replied to WSGZ994's question in Technical Discussion
I have two identical TID H8 radios (even though the title is H3) and I have one set up specifically for HAM and one specifically for GMRS. Yes, I could use one for both but I just prefer to keep them separate. They are great radios and don’t let the haters discourage you. They work just fine and the price point is great. And I do have an H3 but rarely use it as it’s just too small. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

The 2730 will be my next mobile unit. I’ll use the 9800 as a base unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Tyt 9800d plus programing help needed.
LeeBo replied to DOAUSMC0331's question in Technical Discussion
Yes I did. Seems like I used the TYT software to read from the radio. Once I did that, Chirp worked without issue. Who knows. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

LeeBo replied to Wayfarer's question in Technical Discussion
If you’re going to get a lot of “I told you so”, the they don’t sound like “buddies” to me. I bought my 9800 knowing it was a cheap Chineseium radio that may or may not last long and that I knew I would upgrade in the future. But I bought it to “get my feet wet” in the world of mobile amateur radio. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

A simple ground wire from the radio chassis to the vehicle ground may resolve that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Is it the heat sink fan running? That fan runs anytime the PTT button is pressed and does make a “clicking” sound. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Do you have a speaker mic you can try? Might be able to isolate where the issue is. Or just wipe it and send it back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought a TYT TH-9800D Plus back in August to put in my car. It was my first one and I just wanted an inexpensive mobile unit to "get my feet wet" until such time I'd upgrade. Chirp has worked great up until a few weeks ago and now I'm getting these error messages. Same radio, same programming cable, same laptop (Toshiba Dynabook, Windows 11). The only difference, as far as I know, is a newer version of Chirp. But even going back and trying an older version of Chirp, I still get the same message. This also appears to only be an issue with Chirp as the TYT and RT Systems software works fine. I just wanted to toss this out there in case anyone else has seen it and found a solution. -
I did go back and add the spring as there are some low hanging branches in our neighborhood, but too the pic before adding the spring. Let me see if I can find one. EDIT - went outside and took a couple with spring. Very stable at highway speeds. EDIT 2 - Yes, I know it's a 2M/70CM antenna, but it does work great on GMRS.

Well, here's my $0.02, but it's probably worth about what you're paying for it. I may "upgrade" in the future, but right now I can't get away from the Tid H8. It's a pretty good radio and price point and it just works well. And with a Diamond SRJ77CA antenna I'm getting great transmission and reception. And it works with Chirp.

I also have the Comet CA-2X4SR (PL259 mount) and have been very happy with it.

Tidradio TD-H8 may no longer be worth buying
LeeBo replied to SvenMarbles's topic in General Discussion
No, it's a "me" thing. I've had issues in the past where I've had two identical radios and uploaded an image from one to the other and had that one not operate correctly. -
Isn't the site and forums two different log-ins?

LeeBo replied to SvenMarbles's topic in General Discussion
I have several H8 units and all of them perform just fine. The one thing I don't do is upload a Chirp file from a different H8 radio, even if they are identical. I always download a fresh file from the radio and then copy and paste from another Chirp file. Honestly, I could probably upload Chirp file A to radio B with no issues. -
Really good lawyer. That's why their prices are so high.

Ok, I'm going to throw a little extra fuel on the fire. So if linked repeaters are now illegal, how is this group still in service? https://nggmrs.org/ *Largest GMRS Network in the United States *20+ Area Linked Repeaters
