Hello everyone, I have a question about the Tidradio TD-BL-1 wireless programmer. I purchased one and charged it up and it will not power on, I emailed Tidradio customer support and no response. Does anyone use these to bypass the menus and make it easier to set up our radios? Has this happened to anyone, and if so does anyone have any suggestions, or even can point me in the right direction? I’m currently using the Baofeng GM21 radios  

 

Thanks WSGQ856

I have one but have not really had a chance to use it. I bought it because a friend has a radio that needs an easier way to program it in the field using the cell phone. I don't really like the odmaster app as much as chirp for programming but it is convenient for doing changes away from the computer and without a cable. I have TD-H3 radios personally so they already have the bluetooth built in, so I didn't need the bluetooth programmer for my radios. (and actually I don't find programming most things from the keyboard on the radio to be that difficult) I have never tried a Baofeng, So not sure how easy or difficult that is to program.

as far as powering it on... if you charged it, that little button on the side (small and kinda hard to see) should just turn the blue light on it and it should be on.

I have one and have used it on Baofengs at home and in the field and have had no issues with it. Odmaster is a bit stodgy compared to Chirp visually, but works fine when out in the wilds.

Thanks for the responses, yeah that hard to see power button has been found and pressed, I guess I will try a replacement and hope for the best. Chirp usage might be the best way to continue my programming, again thank you for your responses!
