The TIDRADIO TD-H9 is a feature-packed handheld aimed at operators who want more than a basic HT. With its 10-watt power claim, APRS, GPS, Bluetooth, color display, and rugged design, it offers a lot of capability in a compact package. In this video, we’ll put the TD-H9 to the test and see how it performs in the real world—especially whether that 10-watt claim translates into useful performance in the field.
Be sure to check out the next video on this radio if you are wanting a radio for your motorcycle adventures.

Mobile Ham Radio Install: Power Cable & Powerpole Prep
In this video, we prep and build a custom fused power cable harness for the Yaesu mobile radio install. Watch as we shorten the factory wiring, solder the inline connections with heat-shrink couplers, and install Anderson Powerpole connectors on the ends. With the fuses in place and the connectors assembled, we power up the rig for a successful bench test before final installation.

Why Everyone Is Talking About HelioClock at the Show
Helioclock runs entirely on your own hardware. There’s no Helioclock cloud service in the loop, and no subscription to lapse. Every data feed — radar, space weather, tropical storms, lightning, earthquakes, and dozens more — is pulled directly from a broad spread of free, public government and research sources, collated and presented right on your screen. If one source has a hiccup, everything else keeps running.

Why This FRS Radio Makes More Sense Than a Ham Radio in an Emergency
The Radioddity HD-2 is a rugged, waterproof FRS radio built for people who need simple communication without licenses, programming headaches, or a pile of accessories. In this video I take a look at the features, controls, VOX operation, weather-resistant design, and the things that make this radio interesting for camping, hiking, boating, family communication, and emergency preparedness.
FRS radios are easy to underestimate because they are simple, but that simplicity can be exactly what makes them useful when something goes wrong. A radio that is charged, waterproof, easy for anyone to operate, and ready to hand to a family member may be far more valuable in an emergency than a more complicated radio nobody knows how to use. This is a look at where the HD-2 fits, what it does well, and whether a rugged FRS radio belongs in your emergency kit.
