    📻 TIDRADIO TD-H3 – 1 Year Later

    I’ve been using the TD-H3 as my daily carry for the past year, and here’s a quick review based on real use:

    👍 What I Like:

    Compact and durable – fits in the pocket, holds up well

    Color screen – bright and easy to read

    USB-C charging – super convenient, charges fast anywhere

    Battery life – I get 2+ days per charge

    Multi-band receive – VHF, UHF, air band, FM, NOAA, etc.

    Bluetooth + app programming – makes updates quick and easy

    CHIRP support – works great for bulk edits and backups

    👎 What Could Be Better:

    CHIRP – Free Radio Programming Software

    If you're tired of programming your radio by hand, check out CHIRP – a free, open-source app that works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

    You can:
    Program BaoFeng, Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood, Retevis, and more

    Import repeaters, weather, and GMRS channels

    Save, edit, and back up your radio settings

    Copy/paste frequencies like a spreadsheet

    You’ll need a programming cable, but once you’re set up, it makes life way easier.

    Download it here:
