TIDRADIO TD-H8 10W Ham Radio APP/Web Bluetooth Programming, 8-Band, Freq Copy, DTMF, NOAA Weather, 2500mAh Rechargeable, Airband Two Way Radio, Radio Communication for Emergency Hiking Camping-1Pack

Very smart radio. Lots of additional applications such as Bluetooth programming. Would recomend

So good i bought a second pair, so easy to setup on PC or phone if you are technically minded and know what your looking at

No signal and hard to use

It's not a bad radio. Worth looking on YouTube to see how to fully unlock it. It only does FM an nothing else. For the price there is other radios that do better and it doesn't do 10 watts its 8 watts maximum so the description is a lie. However it seems like a fairly good radio for the price. It does have Bluetooth connectivity but your better using your programming cable. It also doesn't have any official programming software. The website takes you to the chirp webpage also finally the battery isnt crystal only the radio.

Great little bit of kit picks up my local airport clear as day the kids love to watch planes come in on flight radar and listening to the tower communicate with aircraft

Manual is badly written and does not match radio, not all on screen flags mentioned "S", "OFF" and "W" for example. So be prepared to do some hunting around manual to find infomation on radio. i.e. Radio menus are 0. Squelch, 1. Step, 2 Tx Power .. but printed manual and online manual are 0. Bandwith, 1. Squelch, 2. Tx Power.

Unit 1: The Tidradio mentions offline programming then segways into the app which requires an active Internet connection (see pic) which I won't be using. Ammendment: i have been playing with it abit more over 2 days, The supplier contacted me and mentioned that the app didn't require a log in so I gave it a go. After playing about with the app for about 30 minutes its not too bad does exactly what ya would expect and is a bit easier to set up multiple frequencies in bulk then upload them. Sound quality is good and the range and is about as good as any other small radio and I like the addition of the FM Radio function its a nice touch that and the transparent shell. Summery 1: If ya want fancy, cool looking tech, with an inbuilt FM radio this one is for you ^_^ Unit 2: I have the BAOFENG which does the same job without the fancy online bluetooth programming which in my opinion is built abit more solid (yes, I may have dropped it a few times). Summery 2: if want basic and ya don't want or find the Bluetooth setup or FM radio, id recommend the BAOFENG its alot cheaper and more of a solid build.

Ready to use out of the box, fantastic battery life, easy functionality, great for starters or experienced users, i was listening to the airport in 5 minutes, great product
