ID-52 is the first amateur radio portable device to be equipped with a color liquid crystal display. 
Moreover, in addition to increasing the size to about 2.3 inches (ID-51 is 1.7 inches), by adopting a transflective display, 
excellent visibility is realized even in bright places with sunlight. 
It also supports Bluetooth® communication as standard. In 
addition to being able to wirelessly connect to an Android ™ device with image trimming software ST-4001A / ST-4001I or control software RS -MS1A installed, you can 
also use the optional Bluetooth® compatible headset VS-3. 


Furthermore, the following functions have been enhanced from the previous model ID-51 series. Simultaneous reception of two waves of V / V, U / U, and V / U also supports DV / DV mode.
The reception frequency of the air band is extended to UHF (225 to 374.995MHz) in addition to VHF. 
Equipped with a USB terminal, it also supports USB charging, and the speaker output has been greatly increased from 400mW to 750mW. 



In the functions related to D-STAR®, a new function has been added to send and receive images saved on the microSD card using only the ID-52 main unit. 


Photos taken with a smartphone can be sent with ID-52 via Bluetooth®, so you can easily enjoy image transmission. 


The ICOM ID-52 Handheld

 The ICOM ID-52 Handheld is the newest VHF/UHF D-Star  transceiver to hit the market. The Icom ID-52A/E follows the discontinued ID-51.  Two versions will be available globally, the ID-52A for the USA and the ID-52E for Europe.  It has a similar layout and slightly larger size.

 
The most obvious difference is a large 2.3″ color display that uses the new transflective technology. This makes it easy to see outdoors, even in bright sunlight.  The addition of Bluetooth enables connection to audio headsets, image transfer, and remote controls. The use of micro USB charging is also finally here.

 Icom will exhibit at Fire & Disaster Asia 2019 Singapore


From October 1st to 3rd, Icom will join Fire & Disaster Asia 2019 Singapore at the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore (Booth R27) and will be showcasing the complete lineup of our radios, including P25 and IDAS™ digital radios widely used for public safety agencies, LTE radios which use LTE (4G) and 3G networks and Satellite PTT radio which operates over the Iridium© satellite network. Furthermore, we will introduce emergency communications solutions for disasters such as hard carrying cases which can be immediately deployed on site and RoIP gateway solutions which interconnect different radio systems and protocols. We all hope to see you there at the Icom booth.
