True, especially for old base units and as long as you never need to replace handheld batteries.
-
Don't think its going to be a big deal. Many Motorola and Kenwood radios are made in Japan & Mexico, so they will be effected as well.
-
The surveillance camera's are in the truck, ill be notified ether way. Nothing is 100% but weeding out the amateurs is key and catching the professionals would be nice. Layers of protection/deterrence is key. Like my countermeasures for police, i have 4 layers of protection from them, ticket free for longer than i can remember.
-
I have a full security and deterrence set up on my 4Runner. When i do my overlanding i have a lot of camping stuff i need to protect besides my radios, never know what towns i may have to stay at too. Tinted windows, parking/dash cams, remote start with alarm, sensitive shock sensor alarm that has 3mi range to alert on my key fob. App options too for unlimited monitoring. Also a sticker that states video/audio recording to warn would-be thieves.

I personally use the Wouxun programing software. But i don't use MacOS.

found a real video! Only slightly different in size:
-
It appears this new H3 Plus is larger than the old H3, somewhere between the H8 & H3. But there doctored photos are terrible to 100% confirm.
-
Without linking to what you are talking about I'm not going to search for days to figure out what you are talking about. I got an Apache hard case from Harbor Freight and i fit 1 H3, 1 935G, one Q10H with a couple extra antennas and batteries. Its not that small but its good if i want to travel with multiple radios.
-
To be honest the H3 is superior anyway and focusing on 1 model is a smarter way to go. I was soo disappointed with my H8, power was way off and nowhere near the features of the H3.
-
So then you would also suggest the TidRadio H3 as an option if all radios work just as good. Good to know.
-
After a lot of research and so many main stream radio manufacture like Motorola just not making good advanced radios, I went with a Wouxun KG-935G that's really robust with features, works really well and reminds me of old school Motorola. I also have a Q10H, but the Q935G has a much better display.
-
This just might be a great radio. Nothing comes close to the features of the H3 and if this has been improved and be made to be more consistent it can be a truly great radio. I haven't had any issues with my 3 H3 radios, but i wouldn't deny the quality/refinement could be improved for the more technical user. It also appears TidRadio listens to its customers and has done improvements and refinements even if they have fell short. But i guess we will see.....

Kind of like forum members that don't work very well.

Got an email there is a new TidRadio H3 Plus coming out next week. Its going to have over the old H3: -Odmaster app communication - Wireless Repeater signal relay - Bluetooth PTT - Screen refresh/update. Pricing looks the same and may be a bit bigger. https://tidradio.com/products/h3-plus-5w-bluetooth-radio?srsltid=AfmBOop7EgZljqaSGOCBI0lBh-vWv7PV47nWNNHr5GuX6FujMXDOKKoq
-
I think is a fine antenna and would serve the prepose. But the mount type limits the ability to switch antennas to a different (NMO like) one with more range/coverage and options. It could also be a QC issue with some users who don't like it? But ultimately if it works for your needs noting else matters.
-
Ok, I'm a little frightened now.
-
I have looked far and wide and settled on a Wouxon 935G, which seems to have high selectivity, clean transmissions and just feels like the old Motorola's quality. I don't use chirp, i use there proprietary software which is fine for me since its also free. Really hard to find alternatives with this quality and features. But my quest is never ending. Though i do have to say there is a special place for my Tidradio H3, one heck of a cheap mediocre radio.
-
Is the 935H display just as bright as the 935G? Or at least have that brighter display setting unlike the Q10H? Q10H display is pretty dim, 935G is great.
-
OMG someone else in CT with a GMRS radio! lol I never connected with them but i am in Danbury area. I did try some of the others here in CT but they all seem to be defunct. So few if any around CT.

Wouxun KG-935G + Channel Wizard Question
RIPPER238 replied to dsm600rr's question in Technical Discussion
Did your parents have any children that lived? -
Tested on my 935G and it does the same thing. I dont think its a bug, it's just how it is. There may be logic behind it but if you turn off The monitor function it goes back to working "normal". Probably more of a function that if you are monitoring and hit on the flashlight you won't be blinded.
-
I have asked you several times. What would you suggest as a better alternative with similar capabilities? Yet you never answer. If you want to rip something down go for it, but you better be able to not only back it up but suggest an alternative. I have to assume you either have no idea of what your talking about or something else in you life is affecting your logic and reason.

Shortest 2-meter 70 cm mobile Antenna?
RIPPER238 replied to RIPPER238's question in Technical Discussion
Just installed Comet CP-5NMO (finally got a warmer day) and did exactly what i needed it to do and the Comet SBB-1 NMO works perfect. Nice a sturdy and the antenna is actually quite impressive on AIR band besides what its designed for. Ill be using it with my H3 and my Q10H depending on needs. -
Thanks, ill make sure to do that. Ill get to use my rarely used Fluke meter.
-
Yeah, will serve the purpose logically but its not like i buy these often so the poor tip is questionable. I can check the SWR with the antenna ill use before i mount it.
