The upgraded ID-52E PLUS combines D-STAR and FM operation with enhanced Bluetooth connectivity, wireless Terminal and Access Point modes, USB Type-C and simultaneous Terminal mode and conventional RF operation.
Upgraded Functions and Connectivity
- Enhanced Bluetooth functionality for wireless Terminal and Access Point mode operation with a compatible Android device
- Dual operation of Terminal mode and Simplex / Repeater operation
- USB Type-C connection replacing the previous Micro-B connection
- Faster wireless picture transfer with compatible software
- Retains the ID-52E's picture sharing, dualwatch, waterfall, GPS and D-STAR functions
The Icom ID-52E PLUS takes the popular ID-52E D-STAR handheld and makes its connected features considerably easier to use. Terminal mode and Access Point mode can now connect wirelessly to a compatible Android device using Bluetooth, removing the need for a cable when operating through the RS-MS3A app.
Alongside its D-STAR capabilities, the ID-52E PLUS remains a fully featured VHF/UHF FM handheld with V/V, U/U and V/U dualwatch, including simultaneous DV/DV reception, an integrated GPS receiver, band scope with waterfall display and a vivid colour screen.
A new USB Type-C port provides charging and data connectivity, while IPX7 waterproof construction, microSD storage and powerful 750mW audio make the ID-52E PLUS equally useful at home or out in the field.
Supports D-STAR simplex, repeater and Internet gateway operation alongside conventional FM.
Connect wirelessly to a compatible Android device for Terminal and Access Point operation.
Monitor two signals simultaneously, including two DV signals with DV/DV operation.
Charging, PC programming, microSD access, CI-V control and Terminal / Access Point connectivity.
Worldwide Communication Through D-STAR
The ID-52E PLUS supports conventional FM alongside D-STAR simplex, repeater, regional and worldwide communication through the D-STAR Internet gateway.
Digital operation can carry voice together with data, text messages, GPS position information and pictures, giving the ID-52E PLUS considerably more capability than a conventional analogue handheld.
Connect Without a Cable
Using the RS-MS3A application on a compatible Android device, the ID-52E PLUS can connect over Bluetooth for Terminal mode and Access Point mode operation. This allows D-STAR communication through a cellular Internet connection even when a suitable D-STAR repeater is not locally accessible.
PC operation remains available using RS-MS3W and a USB connection. Terminal and Access Point modes require a compatible repeater network and suitable Internet connectivity.
Terminal Mode and Conventional RF Operation
Terminal mode no longer has to take over the entire radio. The ID-52E PLUS supports simultaneous Terminal mode and Simplex / Repeater operation, allowing you to quickly respond to conventional RF activity while remaining connected through Terminal mode.
Share Pictures Alongside D-STAR Voice
Pictures can be sent to other compatible users and received images viewed directly on the radio's colour display. Images from a smart device can also be transferred wirelessly to the ID-52E PLUS using compatible Icom picture software.
2.3-inch Colour Screen
The 320 × 280 pixel colour display provides excellent visibility, with selectable black or white backgrounds.
Waterfall Display
The waterfall shows both current activity and signal changes over time, providing a clearer overview of occupied and available frequencies.
