2024年7月12日 · Alas, exporting from the RT Systems software and attempting to import the tab/csv files into the new ICOM 52 Plus software is a no go. And RTS tells me they have no ETA for their software update to the 52A Plus. I'm thinking about sending the '51A data to the ICOM software and doing an export from that.

2025年1月24日 · Batteries are consumables. The ID-52 does not charge continuously, once it reaches full, charging turns off. I could see it becoming discharged sitting in the stand and recording everything. You should get 300 or so cycles on a battery. No such thing as battery memory with lithium, unlike the old NiCad batteries.

2020年8月7日 · Thank me for the ICOM release of the ID-52. I just bought my FT3D last week so here we are. Same kind of thing like when you wash the car it'll rain about a half hour later. To me it doesn't seem to matter what digital mode is on a radio, I happen to be about 5 miles too far away from the repeaters to touch them. I can hear them though.

I recently got my technician license and I am looking for a good HT that will last me a while. I'm planning on saving about 1k for a top of the line HT setup including better antenna and extra batteries. I'm torn between the Kenwood TH-D75a and the ICOM ID 52a any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

2022年8月14日 · I picked up an ID-52 but can't seem to receive anything. Even FM radio isn't coming in. The speaker works. I played with the squelch. Any ideas where to start looking?

2023年8月10日 · My Icom ID-52 only provided the buzz of a data signal, not unexpectedly, on the repeater output frequency, that clearly corresponded with the voice audio I was hearing on the SDS-100. So, am I correct to understand my megabuck ID-52 is compatible with the Icom D-Star system and cannot be used with a DMR repeater?

2024年4月29日 · I would absolutely go with MMcKenna’s recomendations along with the Comet HS-05 adapter cable. I have used both the full sized Larsen 2/70 and the shorter version with a Larsen NMOMM magnet mount for years. You will notice a huge improvement in performance with your ID-52 especially if you put the antenna on the roof of your car. 73, Don KK9H

2025年1月13日 · I was able to easily figure out most of the operations quickly without resorting to the manual as men are known to do. After downloading the free Icom software I programmed in a couple hundred channels in an hour or so, including the rail and aircraft stuff I listen to as well as a few dozen ham repeater and simplex channels.

2024年12月24日 · I have the firmware updates with the E in them on my ID-52 PLUS (60th anniversary version). I copied the DAT file to the radio's microSD card, then went through the firmware update process. The radio works fine. I went through the Japanese side of the Icom Japan web site, and found the firmware update for the Japanese versions of this radio.

2022年12月31日 · But if you are adamant that the choice is between Icom or Yaesu even if you only use analog, consider this: -they both do wideband rx. But the FT5D has the advantage there. It can rx from 0.5MHz to 999.99MHz (on the A band) whereas the ID-52 is only gonna get you 88.0-174MHz and 225-479MHz. -the repeater location feature of the IF-52 is cool.
