The unlocking process for the TID Radio H3 is shown at the beginning of the video (0:21-0:38). Press the PTT button (the side button). (2:16) Press the star button (*). (2:19) Turn the radio on. (2:20) You'll see a screen appear with three options: GMRS: This mode is for General Mobile Radio Service, which requires an FCC license. HAM: This mode unlocks amateur radio frequencies, also requiring a license. NORMAL: This mode keeps the radio open and unrestricted, like a Baofeng. (18:58) It's important to note that using the unlocked radio modes for GMRS or amateur radio without the proper license is illegal. The video emphasizes that the unlocked modes can be useful in emergencies or for private use on your own property, but always respect the law and obtain the necessary license if you intend to operate GMRS or amateur radio publicly.

This video is about the TID Radio H3, a dual-mode radio that operates on both General Mobile Radio Service and amateur radio frequencies. It's an affordable radio (around $30). (11:21) Can be unlocked to use amateur radio frequencies (MS mode), though a license is required for GMRS. (2:09, 17:51) Features a bright LED light that can function as a flashlight. (7:25) Has two PTT buttons for separate channel operation. (7:01) Includes a gauge meter to monitor signal strength. (15:07) Uses a standard 3.5mm antenna connector, allowing for customization with various antennas. (4:42, 19:13) Why Choose the TID Radio H3: Great for short-range communication without a license (using the open MS mode). (19:54) Offers excellent range when used with tactical antennas and repeaters. (10:09, 11:38) Provides a significant upgrade from lower-power FRS radios and larger, less powerful GMRS/amateur radios like the Baofeng UV5R. (19:29, 20:26) Charges via USB-C, making it convenient to power. (28:51) Other Useful Information: The video includes a cheat sheet for common radio frequencies and their uses, available in the video description. (2:51) The presenter discusses the difference between simplex (direct radio-to-radio communication) and GMRS repeater use. (32:07) In essence, the video promotes the TID Radio H3 as a budget-friendly, high-performance radio option for various communication needs, especially for those interested in GMRS and potentially amateur radio use.

@CatDaddySteve
ALL modern radios are VERY complicated. You simply must be very interested and into amateur radio as a hobby to be able to use them, and like playing an instrument if You learn how to use them then walk away for a few months You will forget all the menus. Do NOT expect Your family members to even be able to absorbe more than On / Off , PTT, Volume.
