The Tidradio TD-H9 does APRS — but does it do it well? I tested this 10W Bluetooth handheld radio's APRS capabilities in the real world so you don't have to guess.
In this review I cover APRS position reporting, Bluetooth connectivity, app integration, and real-world field performance. Whether you're a licensed ham or just exploring APRS for the first time, this breakdown shows exactly what the TD-H9 gets right — and where it falls short.
Stay until the end. There's one feature on this radio that nobody is talking about — and it might be the best reason to add it to your go bag or EDC kit.
