Specifications Advertised (From Tiraditos website).:

This product is a multifunctional FM handheld station that is compact and convenient.

New Features:

Compact and Convenient: It fits in the palm of your hand and is easy to hold.
More Functions: Although it is positioned as a lower-priced walkie-talkie than the H8, it has some new features that the H8 does not have, achieving a low price and high configuration. It has added several new functions: Airband function, code measuring function, and cross band.
Convenient Programming: H3 can be programmed with a Type-c cable or phone
Air Band Function: Turn on the air and function, enter the aviation frequency point, and you can see the AM logo on the screen. 118-135.975MHz is the airport tower frequency band. Radio enthusiasts can use this band to listen to airport announcements and conversations between the tower and aircraft.
