The J-Pole antenna is ineffective. J-Pole they are not omni-directional, and they do not have any gain over a ground plane antenna. In fact, they usually have a small loss compared to a ground plane. Also they aren't very robust. The power goes through the matching system, which is balanced, and then to the unbalanced radiator. This mixture of balanced and unbalanced often distorts the radiation pattern. It also makes matching a challenge.

Thanks for this helpful review!

Is there a way I can contact you to get a few more details specifically about the last HAM you have mounted in your f150?

You should check out the Midland GXT67! It just released, and it's a great basic GMRS repeater capable handheld.

Very informative, thank you. Well done.

I have several UV-5Rs and bought the UC-21R and bought it as much for the expanded accessories as the extended range. I plan to use it in home, rather than outside as the manuel states rain will damage it - also, Amazon says it is not waterproof as are the UV-5Rs. This UV-21 are good for auto or home - keep her dry.

New question. recently i did a repeater update using the software. After radio rebooted it only displayed the repeaters and not the names that I entered for each repeater. Can you advise me on how to get names to display again?

I have just tried to flash the firmware, but it failed. I tried to turn on the radio, but it couldnt be turned on. When I tried to flash the radio again, the software notification said, "radio not detected". Is there any possibility that my radio can be normally turned on again? Thanks in advance 🙏🙏

I have this cam camera and it’s great for the beginners and a budget price ❤

It's called a Diplexer not a Duplexer. Think about it.

Please get to the point asap

Have you ever tested the Smiley 5/8 465 for GMRS? I use this one on my KG905G and get good results. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this review

I really enjoy FRS radios like this for large groups. Skiing with a big group and want to stay in touch? Hand these out. I bought a Baofeng FRS on sale last year for something like $8 a piece and handed them out to everyone in our group. Non radio people don’t struggle with them at all. Super useful.

can you extend the frequencies?

I am new on gmrs,and I have a question related to transmitters, my son live 15 miles away from my house , to comunícate to him I need to use a transmitter near me, once I connect to transmitter, my son needs to have a transmitter to in order to receive my signal ? Or is good enough with one person using the transmiter ?? I appreciate your help

Wow, I have been looking at that for GMRS! TELL us more!

I could definitely tell a difference. Maybe it’s because I rely on audio, due to blindness? I’m not sure. The FRS to GMRS sounded much lower and quality.

Also if you have extra batteries they will drop into the charge base without the radio.

Can you tell me how the banana plugs charge the battery? What charger are you using?

It looks to me exactly like the exprotrek 4k cam...🤔🤔🤔 Good review...thx ...even if the vid is a lil bit older 😁

Oh no I never put my call sign in

I got the bundle with thr fan how do I illuminate my keyboard

Love mine

Can you do a video on the Tidradio H8? In depth features, how to use and how to program???

I'm very new to this. just got my 5G plus (just like one you have on the far right at the beginning of your video) and I'm just trying to figure out how to sync/connect the channels to just use them as radios.?

Why isn’t this an APP or standalone program to be run on Windows, macOS, iOS or Android?

Tidradio TD- 3 GMRS

you give so much knowledge that you share for person like myself that are a start up self employ thanks to you and youtube, I have to learn much by myself by watching yours videos thanks.

Is there a way to find GMRS repeaters in the app?

So, the repeater list in the app is only for HAM?

Let's call them what they really are... instead of "DIY Channels" they are "Memory Channels".

I think mine is defective. It transmits fine on simplex 2m, but I can't trigger a repeater practically across the street. I'm using the same exact configuration that works on 3 other radios.

I scored a Ramco hard case with spring loaded metal handle . Originally this particular case housed a very early starlight viewing optic . The overall construction of the box is tank line and the air pressure release valve is a really nice bit of purple anodized aluminum . I will use this video and build as my go to for my build , thank you !

as a non US - can I get a GMRS-license ?

please note : BaoFeng UV 21R comes in a BaoFeng UV 21 pro v2 - maybe thats the wider version?

Great review and most appreciated. 73’s

you did,nt want tx on gmrs?,will it tx on gmrs?,thanks

For sometime, I've considered building my own battery box but as pointed out, the cost of components and the assembly was more expensive in time and money than I wanted ro spend. Now that I've reviewed this video, I'm, convinced that for the price on DX Engineering, the money would be well spent but above all, there's room for expansion of not only a bigger battery, but for other accessories too. Great overview.

Howdy from Prescott, AZ. Just ordered this radio because my ham license just expired after 10 years and want to communicate more with the off road community who are all switching to GMRS it seems. Great review/setup video. Many thanks. Subscribed. 73, KK6DKQ

I just passed my test on Monday for technician. And good lord I'm more confused and what all this does then I was before I watched it lol 😂

I wouldn't trust TIDRADIO. They've been caught SEVERAL times doing shady crap and using bad software that is required to program some of their radios that SPIES on the consumers personal information.

I have already made several HamClocks on old tablets with Intel Atom processors, some of which can be bought for as little as $10. Normally, instead of Windows 8.1, I install Debian X11, and HamClock runs great. This is much cheaper than an RPi or ESP32 and some LCD screens.

Just perchesed the gmrs version

Great review thanks for doing this.

Hello there. Awesome video, again! I was wondering, do you know of any radios from this company that read the menus fully? That is, verbally? Thanks very much for any assistance.

Of all the DIY, radio-in-a-box videos, this makes the most sense and is the most useful. Thanks much!

Using the included USB Cable. installed the driver and is working in device manager. Get this error in CHIRP when trying to "Download from radio": UV-17 or UV-17PRO both give error: "Error Readering data from the radio: Not the amount of data we want."Cable is new and came with the unit. Connection is pushed all the way in. Anyone know how to fix?!

Hello there. Awesome video! I’m just beginning in GMRS radio, and this is helpful. I’m very glad to hear that the radios talk, as I am blind, and cannot see the radio screens. However, I’m noticing that they don’t speak the menus fully. Do you know of a radio that transmits and receives with plenty of watts, but is, able to speak all of the menus? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
