I believe that somewhere between Tidradio and the supplier, that they were either trying to make it in time for Prime Day and/or positioning it for the pre-holiday rush. But either way, you can't release a 2/3 functioning product without making absolutely sure it will work properly.

Great video as always I did see a comment on Amazon from someone that said they had a terrible experience with this radio i guess programming it or upgrading the software and other issues although they said it was a pre release unit so maybe that’s why they we’re having those issues who knows

I will say the test radio they sent me worked GREAT but it was unlocked. They should have sent the GMRS version, like they were going to release to the public so my feedback could have been more accurate.

I ordered one of each from Amazon last day of Prime Days. They shipped yesterday. I also downloaded all 3 versions of the PC software (GMRS Ham, Unlock), you may want to do that before they change something. They arrive on Tuesday and I'll be testing them with the software right away.
