Can you test the lumens/candela on the flashlight?

Thumbs up for the Ferris Bueller opening.

I bought two right now because of you, never change Rubicon, never change.

I was, ham operator licensed ,as a general class for over 40 years... Eyeball, sir, to your knowledge, because you my friend are far more informed than any licensed "ham operator"‼️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

Long time watcher, first time commenter. “Here’s the fucking flashlight you freaks” funniest thing I’ve heard

I ended up getting two TD-H3s up here in Canuckistan. Thank you for making these videos.

I forgot to mention that I smile every time you use your pointer.

LOL, here's the fucking flashlight. Love it

I bought five on your review. and the whole family loves them. Sons are fighter jockey and with the AM band antenna they can hear everything going on at work.

Hands down the funniest review yet! Like repeatedly pressing the PPT key and saying no one could tell, meanwhile, watching the screen light up.....🤣 you're toooooo much!

man didn't even take an hour for the pinned comment to go up dude must have just been waiting for Randy to post another video so he could be the winner this time lol!

"I won't pull the trigger and transmit on the HAM frequencies because..." [then curiously all the radios behind him light up] Classic. u-tooberie jenius!!

I don't know how you balance humour and useful information so well, but I'm glad that you do. My son and I are enjoying a pair of TDH3's after applying the latest firmware update!

Thank you for another great video. I'm no longer a newbie radio enthusiast. I enjoy reading all the comments, we seem to be a nice group of knuckleheads.

I couldn't resist, I'm a sucker for the Kawasaki green.

Just ordered mine! Will be turning to my FAVORITE KZfaq GMRS PODCASTER AND SPIRITUAL GURU for all of the info I need to make my GMRS dreams come true!

Ive got a couple now. Got a few friends to finally upgrade their old Buophangs as well. Awesome little radio.

Thanks a lot for making me wait I just got mine today! Funny you also released a video as well. Now to order the 10W units.

In a perfect world Randy would be president.

I always appreciate the thorough reviews, peppered with your wit, intentional mispronunciation of words, sarcasm, etc. That said, when you were covering “Blueteeths” programming, I was laughing my ass off over here looking at the other apps on the phone. Great attention to detail. 🤪🤣 Educational and entertaining. 👍🏻

Thanks for this update, helped clear up the HAM/GMRS/Normal modes - how Normal mode works. Good add on the phone Bluetooth programming! Cannot wait to try it. Keep up the reviews and making us laugh along the way.

Randy's awesome. Love every video, the gold standard for GMRS

Get the dark-colored TD-H3 here: amzn.to/3PZxZIB Get a green TDH3 here:: amzn.to/4dQFtIb Find the invisible TidRadio H3 here: amzn.to/4bPqsoe

I've been watching for years awesome job. Ive learned a lot from your video's. Sarcasm is on point.

Thanks for taking the time to provide a semi-quasi-coulda-shoulda-woulda update revision amendment video. Very helpful indeed methinks.

These radios work much better than others I have that were much more expensive. Love the channel Randy!

Just purchased 2 TD-h3s in the clear case. Awesome radios. Working on a chirp file for them right now. I was very impressed with the TD-h8s so thought I would give them a go, and glad I did. They are much gooder than the uv5r.

I bought a pair last month thanks to your honest opinion and affiliate link....

Enjoy the info provided and the way it is passed on to us

Ordered one with your vs video and I guess mine has finally cleared customs. Scheduled for delivery Friday 24th…..thanks kids. Videos greatly appreciated. “RB”

Nobody knows that me n mine use these radios and any other ham radios we want to freely. Thank you ham radio superstar for another stellar review of the Tidradio

I think you are one of the true talents on this platform. You'd be at or above 1M subs if you did anything mainstream. Keep up the hard work - KZfaq Superstar!

How have I not come across this channel sooner! Second video I’ve watched and had to sub! So hilarious! Just ordered this radio. Doin some research!

My favorite T-Shirt 😂. I have one now. Thanks!

Gotta love it. Thx Bro! Have 2 of them and the H8 an Uv K6 with Egzumer on it. They all do well and are Flexible if you will. Spectrum analyzer is nice on the 6. No BS.

Just received my 2nd 2-Pack!

Both USB-C & Bluetooth syncing without having to buy that antiquated USB serial cable makes this radio an instant buy.

Thanks for your review. I have a couple in my cart to purchase now. 🤠

I bought the green. Haven’t used them yet but believe it’s not so important to do right away. My time is best like when I get around to it

Thank you for the update Sir. Much appreciate the roger beep at the end. I think this should be on every video you create and post. I know so many would appreciate it, and appreciate the misery it causes those identified as Some People.. I am going to order one of these radios in the am.

One of your best videos. Period.

Best thing I’ve watched all day.

Another great video, Randy. I purchased one as well. Thanks.

OMG not only educational but you had me rolling on the floor with laughter. Nice video.

Ah yes, a few days after your review I ordered the two-pack. TD shows mine will be delivered June 13-ish; oh well not a big deal. Update, today 2024-05-27, the TD H3 two pack arrived.

I got my 2 pack of green after waiting over a month or so. Had my daughter walk to the otherside of the neighborhood and the sound quality is awesome! I had my son and daughter talking on the scramble mode while i listened on another radio and couldnt understand what they were saying, thats cool! Didnt know about normal mode, thats gonna happen. I also didnt know these are boofwang's. At least thats what the manual states. Bitchen little radios, thanks Randy!

Love the shirt and your sense of humor!

Yep, still waiting for a June 18th delivery because of your over saturation video. Haha, it'll be nice to get it. Thanks!

Literally just got mine today. so a victim of you're stardom. thanks!

Great recap on the TD-H3 and fun shirt 😅

Very informative content, I did purchase a Radio to check it out. Thanks for your time and expertise.

You are awesome Randy you always make me laugh. In a world full of ignorant people this laughter is greatly needed.

I bricked my UHF TX function on my UV-5R because I messed with any other settings BEFORE I watched this video. Irregardless, I hope you're having a good day, and if you're new, welcome!

As usual a hilarious video. Thank you for making this "normal" laugh

Always best presentation! I think i wrote it again, but will repeat it here in your new video. Despite the fact that it can receive RF electricities starting on 18 till 500 mhz, in the range of 27 does not receive any of my phonetics via my cb at a fars of 1 meter or more. In fars less than that, it definitely grabs some of my cb's spurious emmissions.

Ahh good stuff just grabbed two TD-H3 instead of the UV-5RM... Your videos are great at 1.5x payback speed.

Thank you for video. 📻

Thanks!

I used to have issues with spurious emissions when I was a young lad, but thankfully that was only a brief phase that I quickly outgrew. 💦

I like your videos very informative thank you for the video stay safe.

Great & funny ! Thanks !!! 😂

Great video Farris 👍🏻

I am hooked to look at every video to see when the sacred pointer will be chewed on all the way to the metal band holding the eraser!!!😅

Great Video Man! I'm Buying The Clear Walkie Talkie!

Just got my pair, now to test them out.

yessss, another cleverly seeded-in Ferris line.....sometimes I forget what this channel is about, I just keep coming back for some of the most brilliant multi layered humor I've ever seen. Nobody anywhere delivers pauses like a boss like this, bravfuckinO!

I really appreciate the vids...good stuff, and I like your style and humor....not my wife though, she still can't figure out half the stuff you say. I have a question on which i should buy, the TD-H3 or the TD-H8 and should I be grabbing one or two radios at a time....really new to all this and seriously need to rethink this world we live in and want to Pre Pare just in case of common sense being done away along with Our Rights.....Thanks and glad to have met....

Dude.... You're not right in the head... But funny as hell. Your sarcasm this top notch. I've always enjoyed your videos and always learn something. Thanks for the education.

I'm laughing so hard that my eyes are tearing. Great video!

Nooooooooo! You didn't mention my two FAVORITE Features that are Hardly EVER mentioned (you did half mention one of them) and that is: This FREAKIN radio lets you save you favorite FM Radio Stations!!!!! about 21 one of them! I wanted this feature so badly and infact it is the feature I use 90% of the time...when walking my dog listening to the News like 1010 Wins here in NYC. The second is the fact that the FLASHLIGHT is freakin bright! (sadly its Radial coverage is blocked partially by the antenna and casts a shadow on the ground of the antenna...but still does the job) Now why is this sooo important? Because in a SHTF scenario where you have to hang onto your Radio but also need to walk the dog...you want to carry less...especially and extra separate flashlight....so that as you walk in the dark 1. you avoid stepping on other dog poop. and 2. you can see where you are going using the same hand that is holding the radio...because your other hand is holding the Dog leash....This is my SECOND most used feature!. these 2 features alone make it a Baofeng killer for me. I hate manually typing a radio station on a UV-5G every time I want to hear something else, let alone remember every exact frequency.

Great picture on the background ))

Wow... You got the Commies and Race Baiters pissed in one video! You rock! Love what you do!!!

You said Mahna Mahna. Damn now that song is stuck in my head hehe...

Please tell us again now, what buttons to push to copy-clone one TD3 to another. I saw your older video but couldn’t follow the steps you quickly demonstrated. Thanks.

Love the shirt.. Great job

I work a lot outdoors and in cluttered areas, so just bought the high-vis green, using the .... affiliate link below.😎

Great follow-up vid. I ❤my "dark-colored" TD-H3 even tho I had to wait for it.

How many fars can your Jeep go off road on a full tank of gases? 😂😂 Love your videos!!!

Tell Tiddy we want some forest green versions please.

Thanks

The green lights were wonderful 😂

Neat radio!

Great video!

That shirt is so cool, thanks for making me laugh 😂

Love the shirt

The Rx Hop is basically TIDRadios version of quickly enabling a privacy tone/privacy code without having to manually set a CTCSS or DCS code between H3 handsets. As long as the user(s) enabled Rx Hop on both H3 handsets, you’ll be able to receive each others transmission. I’m not sure why they titled that feature that way because users will think it’s frequency hopping which this HT doesn’t have. Maybe it does hop to different CTCSS or DCS codes automatically between H3 handsets but I’m not sure if there is a way to check.

Bahahahaha Awesome And love the screen pulls

The QUEEN

I ordered one pair of these slave labor coms devices yesterday from the Amazons. I ordered the non-racist variety. But more importantly. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw you pass out at 31 Flavors last night. Are you ok? It sounds pretty serious!

@notarubicon, great info as always. Can you please elaborate on the power vs 'fars' irrelevance for this radio? I am concerned about the lower than 5W power transmission you've shown on your two reviews. Many thanks!

Thank you so much Mr Nota I understood before I'm so glad you're explaining things for all the second graders that complain, wait I'm sorry if I offended the second graders

I picked up this radio when I watched your first video on it. Its great, does what I need and is easy enough to use and program. However, I was really disappointed to find out, in the field, that the OD master app is basically useless without an internet connection. Correct me if I am wrong, but without network the TD-H3 doesn't even show up in the model list. Even if it had the program and settings button pops up a toast saying "Network connection failed". I get it, it can back up your configs, but it shouldn't need a network connection just to communicate over Bluetooth with the radio.

Just my experience if I use Chitp on Windows 11 the power settings will be low on the TD-H3 regardless of what Chirp shows. On Macbook there is no problems.

So funny! Nice light display!

for anybody that's confused by chirp having only one td-h3 option: roll back your version by a few months or so. i dont know what version changed but it seems they cut out the ability to program the thing properly in normal mode recently.

Randy..,.....We Are in Aw Of your Greatness

Ordered one 3 days after the last video. No delay in shipping. I call BS…. 😂

I'm new to the hobby, and still learning. I'm Currently monitoring with the Midland GXT mobile and rtl-sdr. I was wondering how well the 100ft of rg8X and my Tram-1411 discone scanner antenna I have @ 20ft would pair with the AnyTone AT-778UV mobile I plan on ordering from Amazon soon. Do you think this would have decent range for a beginner's base setup?

Dang! For under $85 you can get two radios with extra batteries and antennas. App and USB programming is very attractive too.

What a legend!
