Why does my TidRadio H-8 GMRS light flash green every 5 seconds?

It's like clockwork. Is this behavior normal for this brand and model of radio?  None of my other handheld radios do it. I thought maybe it was in scan mode, but it was not.

Yes, it is normal. it is the "breath" function in your menu.... it flashes to let you know it is still on when the display goes to sleep to save power. you can set how often it flashes in the options.

That's interesting. I've never heard of that before, but it seems like a useful feature. I do sometimes look at my radio and can't remember if it's on or off.

I like how you can set it. Helps when monitoring at home and not having to stare at it or pick it up to check if its on. 

 

TidRadi radios are feature packed. Hard to go to other radios without missing something.
