Home TIDRADIO TD-H8: FCC Approved 10 Watt Handheld Radio

[HomerBB]

New Edit: The radio is certified for GMRS only. I went back, reread my emails and looked up the FCC ID. It is not certified for Amateur use by the FCC at this time.

Two of my seven HTs are GMRS/FRS only.

The easiest way is to use ODMaster app on your phone. If you have connectivity problems, ensure the app is up to date by going to the app store / play store directly.

By default on my radio, WX is set to LONG_KEY_PF2. You can change any of those button assignments in ODMaster. Dual Watch is Menu 7: D. Wait...turn it on. In ODMaster, the option is called "TDR"

And less than $100, I'm in! Do we still have that link for Amazon that contributes to the site? I was getting ready to click the button, but thought I would use the link if we still have it.

amazon smile is long gone since march

You're right, I can't find it in a sped sheet or in the manual. But that blog is written by Tidradio, so it should be safe to assume accuracy.

KG-S88G
It is also the only GMRS superheterodyne handheld.

Wouxun KG-S88G GMRS Two Way Radio

More compact. More rugged. More GMRS. You get all that and more with the Wouxun KG-S88G. It's built with a superheterodyne receiver, full DTMF keypad and USB-C charging port. It's also IP67 dust and waterproof.
