ICOM HM-183LS WATERPROOF SPEAKER MICROPHONE for the ID-31E/ID-51E/ID-52E D-STAR handportables.
Icom ID-50E
Compact dual-band D-STAR and FM handheld with built-in GPS, USB Type-C, dualwatch, band scope with waterfall, picture sharing and IPX7 waterproof construction.
The Icom ID-50E is a compact VHF/UHF dual-band transceiver designed to complement the popular ID-52E and provide another highly capable option for D-STAR digital communication.
Alongside conventional FM operation, the ID-50E supports D-STAR Digital Voice, DR mode, Terminal mode and Access Point mode. Built-in GPS, picture sharing, text messaging and Near Repeater Search add useful connected features for digital operation.
A band scope with waterfall display helps identify active channels visually, while VHF/VHF, VHF/UHF and UHF/UHF dualwatch lets you monitor two frequencies at the same time.
USB Type-C charging and data, microSD storage, 750mW audio and IPX7 waterproofing make the ID-50E a versatile everyday D-STAR handheld.
Icom ID-50E Overview
D-STAR simplex, repeater, gateway, Terminal and Access Point operation.
Monitor two frequencies simultaneously across the VHF and UHF bands.
Charging, PC programming, microSD access, Terminal / Access Point mode and CI-V control.
GPS position, Grid Square, Near Repeater Search and logging functions.
Worldwide Communication Through D-STAR
The ID-50E supports conventional FM alongside D-STAR Digital Voice, allowing local simplex and repeater communication as well as regional and worldwide contacts through the D-STAR network.
Digital communication can include voice, text messages, GPS location information and pictures.
Easier D-STAR Repeater Operation
Icom's DR function simplifies D-STAR operation by letting you select your access repeater and destination. Combined with the built-in GPS receiver, the radio can help select an available local repeater based on your current location and also supports reflector linking controls.
Share Pictures During D-STAR QSOs
Pictures can be shared with other compatible users in DV mode. Photos can be prepared using Icom's ST-ID50A Android software or ST-ID50W Windows software, and images can be checked on the ID-50E display before transmission.
Build Your Own Internet Gateway
Where no suitable D-STAR repeater is available, the ID-50E can use Terminal or Access Point mode through an Internet-connected PC or compatible Android device.
These functions require the appropriate Icom software, a suitable USB Type-C cable, compatible D-STAR gateway software and an Internet connection with an IPv4 Global IP address.
Waterfall Display
The band scope and waterfall provide a visual overview of activity, helping you find active channels and clear frequencies.
Monitor Two Frequencies
VHF/VHF, VHF/UHF and UHF/UHF combinations can be monitored simultaneously. DV/DV cannot be monitored at the same time.
Position, Grid Square & Near Repeater Search
The built-in GPS receiver can display your position and current Grid Square, show distance to other stations and provide location data for Position Auto Reply, Near Repeater Search and GPS logging.
