Ok. BMS = battery maintenance system. Hard to keep up with acronyms sometimes thanks.

Battery BMS?

I’m not sure. It’s not my problem. I did nothing to them that should have made them fail. The very first tdh3 I bought still works today and it was programmed abd used identically as the other 4. And none of these were DOA. All worked out of the box. Then approx 2 to 3 weeks later I noticed issues hitting repeaters and at that point realize no output. So not sure when these failed after charging or after programming.

A couple!?! Bruh I’m 4 out of 5 failure on these pos.

I run my kg1000 at 25 on both a/b sides to hear it well. It is loud but it’s not loud enough for mud tires and windy days.

Mine ALL transmitted out of the box. Then after a week or so quit hitting repeaters then I put them on the meter and nope.....wattage output is gone. Doesn't even register on the meter. . . .

My record with them is bought 5 sent 4 back for no output. The one working one is awesome though haha

Well shucks that is the first I have heard of the battery situation. Thank you for that. I ever buy another TDH three which is highly unlikely. I’ll keep that in mind very good heads up.

Don’t feel stupid. Ask your questions. There’s a great group of people here that are willing to help. A lot of this isn’t common sense knowledge and alot of the info online is hard to navigate for a newcomer.

How about duplex? Will it let you set duplex to off ? my bad I just seen you were talking about in VFO mode. So disregard my post !

I get people telling me the same thing from time to time. With no mic gain you just need to talk softer or further away. A good habit is to never use more power than you absolutely need! Use low power for all wheeling situations. When I use my kg1000+ people say I sound over modulated but when my family talks on the same radio to me I think they all sound fantastic which makes me wonder if some types of voices don’t do well on the kg1000+.

Agreed, and I could replace a pl259 in the field with a soldering iron and a sharp knife. I personally could not do that with an N type.

I’d still prefer a good ol’ pl259 connector myself. And just replace it at 3 year intervals. The 259’s hold up for years and years on some of the toughest heavy equipment in horrid conditions and transmit cb just fine.

I haven’t successfully been able to change any privacy tones in channel mode on a uv5g pro. Hella frustrating. My uv5g’s won’t save anything I set into them from the keypad menu. I have heard deleting the channel, going to vfo, typing in the freq and entering the tones, then saving this vfo info into the save channel slot it can be done via radio keypad. . . Just heads up if maybe you’re trying to do it through the actual channel menu on the radio not in software.

Nahh get that antenna outside above the roofline and you’ll still gain ALOT of performance no matter what your topography is !!
