ICOM ID-52E VHF/UHF Digital Handheld Transceivers
The Icom ID-52E is a versatile and feature-rich handheld transceiver designed for amateur radio operators. It offers a wide range of functions and capabilities, making it suitable for various communication needs. With its compact size and lightweight design, the ID-52E is highly portable and easy to carry. Here are some key features of the ID-52E:
- Dual Band Operation: The ID-52E operates on both VHF and UHF bands, allowing you to communicate across different frequencies.
- D-STAR and FM Modes: It supports both D-STAR digital mode and conventional FM communications. You can make simplex, repeater, regional, and worldwide calls over the D-STAR Internet gateway.
- Digital Voice and Data: The ID-52E can send digital voice with data, text messages, GPS location information, and pictures. You can even share pictures wirelessly via Bluetooth®.
- DR (D-STAR Repeater) Function: The expanded DR function simplifies D-STAR and FM repeater communication. It helps you select an available local repeater based on your location, and it supports reflector linking controls.
- Terminal Mode and Access Point Mode: Connect the ID-52E to the Internet through a Windows® PC or an Android™ device. This enables access to the D-STAR repeater network, even in areas where no D-STAR repeater is directly accessible via radio.
- Large Color Display: The 2.3-inch color display provides excellent viewability. You can choose between black and white background colors.
- Bluetooth® Enabled: The optional VS-3 Bluetooth® headset allows hands-free wireless operation. It has programmable buttons for improved functionality.
Whether you’re communicating with friends locally or internationally, the Icom ID-52E offers clear audio and versatile features for amateur radio enthusiasts. 📻🌐📡
