2m (144MHz) not working and no microphone

rubbish, was hard to program and not worth the time. 2m (144MHz) only worked in menu mode. As stated in the description, the microphone was not included.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • poorly thought out

  • Practical item
Cons
  • I have defects

Easy to work with portable audio and video

This is my second Tidradio. I also have UV5R. My team and I rely on it, especially in storm season. It's much easier to transport than some large radios and has a long range to keep you in touch in the field. I had a bit of trouble programming, but the support team was quick to help. Would definitely buy again.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Some little things

How to work CB and radio

I thought it would be great to just add a bigger antenna, long and away from the tidradio and I could go 4 to 5 miles but when you got it were under the power lines for the line. Another person it was a bit static but other than that it was great and I haven't tested it underwater but if it rains I'll try it and can't wait to use it for a bigger and longer trip, besides I used a ham repeater and connect to it to talk even further

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Reliability

Reliable? Modest costs? No amateur radio.

We paid $50 each for two UHF/VHF radios. There is a specific range of frequencies that HAM radio uses, this radio does NOT operate on amateur frequencies. Only works in UHF or VHF band. Also, the printed manual says it's an IP57 radio, not IP67. When we asked the seller said IP67 - should they be trusted? Also, it doesn't hit 5W/3W output, but rather 1.5W at max setting, which is fine for my use case. Since these radios are built on the Beofeng UV-9R platform, we will keep them as a backupโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Frequency

Programs like UV5R have a few extra bits!

I have bought several Baofeng/PoFung/TIDRADIO HTs and this is by far the strongest and most reliable. An additional impregnation would be ideal for outdoor use. For the $46 I paid it's VERY helpful to get all the included speakers, microphone, programming cables and necessary extras considering it uses a male adapter and not a Kenwood 2 pin connector. This pen adapter makes it waterproof, but more importantly, it stays plugged in. The rotating clip is handy but may not stay on. The software isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Hard to say

Your default baofeng

If you've ever used a UV-5r (a solid cheap walkie-talkie) it's the same with a few tweaks. In particular, the waterproof accessory is a pleasure to wear on anything that might get wet and has a beautiful design that ensures a secure connection. This means that with non-waterproof versions you will need new accessories. However, everything you really need is in the box. You get a basic earbud that you'll probably never use as it's an old 90's style plastic earbud. There is also a data cable made

Pros
  • Talking Microphone: The remote control microphone and speaker delivers high quality sound even in noisy environments, helping you achieve truly perfect long-distance communication.
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged

Great value for a first radio!

The only radios I've had in the past have been CB and FRS radios. So this amateur radio is a step forward for me. I am currently preparing for the Technician License Exam which does not appear to be very difficult to learn so I am not currently broadcasting on this radio. So far I've only used it as a scanner and it's great. Once I have a license I will play with repeaters and so on. I've always wanted to be an "amateur" and I think now is the right time. It is convenient for camping, traveling

Pros
  • High power: original waterproof portable programmable ham radio, high/medium/low power settings.
Cons
  • So far so good

Dual Band HT TIDRADIO UV9R rebadged from Baofeng. TIDRADIO claims it is IP67 waterproof. So after programming I had to find out if it really is waterproof and have fun at the same time. The IP67 rating means the device can be submerged in up to a meter of fresh water for half an hour. I filled the kitchen sink about eight inches with cold water and threw the radio in the sink. (I turned it off first, but not very carefully put it in the sink. After all, if it falls into a lake or stream, theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • : Works with Windows OS, you can program your portable ham radio with this durable programming cable!
Cons
  • Expensive
