Review on 📻 TIDRADIO TD-F9GP Ham Radio Handheld: Upgraded UV-5R, High Power 2-Way Radio, 1Pack-Black by Johnny Chambers

After I posted my review I was immediately contacted by Tidradio to resolve my issue. After trying various troubleshooting methods, they suggested that I send another radio. I'm glad they did because the replacement works well and I can get total silence from other stations. I am very satisfied and will continue to buy from Tidradio. I bought this make and model after reading the reviews and you can't beat the price. Right out of the box, I immediately noticed that the receiver couldn't provide a crisp, clear transmission, and that was when the transmitting station was 35 miles away from me and barely reachable. I contacted Tidradio Technical Support and told them about my problem. After several email exchanges, they forced me to increase the noise reduction setting to 5 and 7 to no avail. I shared with them my suspicion that the contact between the motherboard and the antenna connector might be faulty. After that there was radio silence and I received no reply from them. Needless to say I am returning a defective unit and will most likely spend the extra money and get a genuine Baofeng branded radio.
