Overview

ICOM ID-5100A VHF/UHF Digital Transceivers

ICOM ID-5100A VHF/UHF Digital Transceivers feature an intuitive touch screen interface that provides quick and smooth operation for settings and editing various functions and memories. The large, 5.5 in. 320 × 128 pixel touch display features an easy-to-see software keypad (QWERTY keyboard) that allows you to input alphanumeric characters quickly.

Expanded receiver coverage includes 118-174MHz and 375-550MHz with dual receiver capability that allows you to receive two bands simultaneously (including within a single band). Almost all VHF & UHF communications are available to you! ID-5100As also have simultaneous receive for FM/FM and FM/DV modes, and the capability of monitoring two DV signals. The main band audio has priority if two DV signals come in at the same time.

These transceivers feature integrated GPS which allows you to transmit and receive position data from the built-in GPS receiver. Position, course, speed and altitude are shown on the display. The GPS position information can be used for exchanging position reports, tracing the GPS log and searching for nearby repeater sites. Their GPS antenna is located in the remote head, no external GPS antenna required.

The DV/FM repeater list function assists you in accessing near-by repeaters, even when you are visiting an area for the first time. This function searches for near-by repeaters using the repeater memories with the GPS position information.

To use the repeater list function, the position data of the repeater is required in the repeater list. ID-5100As are shipped with a limited number of repeater memories preprogrammed. Dplus Reflector link commands are added to the DR function to allow easy reflector operation. Use Reflector, link/unlink to Reflector, echo-test and repeater information commands are selectable.

Built-in CTCSS and DTCS tones are used for accessing closed repeaters or tone squelch operation. The pocket beep alerts you with a beep sound when the transceiver receives a preset tone. 1750Hz tone is also available.

The UT-133 optional Bluetooth® board is necessary for operation with the optional VS-3 headset and the optional RS-MS1A, Android™ application. (Free download from Google Play™) The Android™ application also provides second-station control through an Android device.
