ID-5200E

ID-5200E VHF/UHF Dual Band D-STAR Digital Transceiver, Coming Soon!

The ID-5200E is a new digital transceiver covering the VHF/UHF bands. It features a large touchscreen display and, combined with a waterfall display that shows band conditions at a glance, delivers outstanding visibility and intuitive operation.

The ID‑5200E offers a comprehensive set of D‑STAR features, including Terminal Mode, Access Point Mode, and DV repeater monitoring. A future firmware update will add support for APRS. It is equipped with Wi‑Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity. Connecting to the Internet via Wi‑Fi makes Terminal Mode and Access Point Mode more convenient. It can also connect wirelessly to smartphones, allowing easy use of applications. Additionally, it supports full dual-watch reception including DV/DV for efficient operation.

A Large Touchscreen Colour Display with Excellent High Visibility
The ID-5200E features the same large 4.3-inch colour display used in the IC-705 and IC-7300MK2. The touchscreen interface allows quick and intuitive access to settings like frequency, mode, and other key functions. It also has an automatic dimming function that adjusts the LCD backlight to optimal brightness based on ambient light, plus a key backlight that makes operation easier at night or in dark environments. Visibility is greatly improved, letting you check a wide range of information more quickly.

Independent Dual-band Dials for Superior Operability
The main dial, volume, and squelch controls are arranged symmetrically for smooth and intuitive operation, including tuning and other frequently used functions. Commonly used menus, functions, and quick settings are assigned to physical keys for fast, effortless operation.

Touch Assist feature that supports in-vehicle operations
When the main dial is pushed, the Touch Assist screen appears. Frequently used items like Band, Mode, and TS (Tuning Step) are displayed in large format for more reliable selection and configuration.

Waterfall Display for At-a-Glance Band Conditions
The ID-5200E is the first mobile transceiver to include both a band scope and a waterfall display. The band scope shows detailed information on signal activity, band conditions, and available frequencies. The waterfall display enhances visibility by letting you review received signal history over time and easily identify weak signals. Display modes include Centre mode, FIX mode, and FIX Scroll mode, offering flexible options to suit your operating style.

• Centre Mode:
Displays received signals within a fixed range centred on the current receiving frequency.

• FIX Mode:
Displays received signals within a fixed range centred on the receiving frequency set in "FIX Mode Centre Frequency."

• Scroll FIX Mode:
Displays received signals within a fixed range centred on the receiving frequency set in "FIX Mode Centre Frequency." If the reception marker moves beyond the display range, the view scrolls to follow it.

Memory Scope Function
The memory scope function displays the reception status of 31 channels (the selected channel ±15) or 41 channels (±20) simultaneously in Memory mode or DR mode. In addition to the scope view, a waterfall display is also supported.*
*The memory scope operates in Centre mode only.

Enhanced D‑STAR Functionality, Including Terminal Mode and Access Point Mode
• Terminal Mode and Access Point Mode:
Even from locations without repeater access, you can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi® to communicate over D-STAR. You can use D-STAR without depending on the availability or location of the nearest repeater. Also, in environments without a global IP address, standby operation in Terminal Mode/Access Point Mode is possible*. These features enable easier and more flexible D-STAR operation.
*Reception of all calls is not guaranteed. In environments where a global IP address is assigned and port forwarding is available, please set UDP Hole Punch to OFF.

• DV Repeater Monitor Function:
The DV Repeater Monitor lets you check activity on the destination repeater during Area CQ via D-STAR. By accessing the repeater broadcasting the area CQ via the Internet and actively monitoring, you can tell when communication has ended. Monitoring works with domestic and overseas repeaters, and reception from the nearest repeater always takes priority, so you will never miss calls to your station.

• Image Transmission and Reception:
The ID-5200E lets you send, receive, and view stored images using only the main unit. Photos taken with a smartphone can be transferred via built-in Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth® connectivity.

Connectivity for Smartphone and PC with Wi-Fi®/Bluetooth®
The ID-5200E supports Wi‑Fi® (2.4GHz/5GHz bands) and Bluetooth® connectivity. Using Wi‑Fi to access the Internet enables smoother operation in Terminal Mode and Access Point Mode. It can also connect wirelessly to a smartphone, making it convenient for control software, image‑trimming applications, and similar tools. These applications can be used by connecting to a smartphone via Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth®.

Supports APRS®* (Automatic Packet Reporting System)
The ID-5200E will support APRS®*, a communication protocol that utilizes packet radio to transmit and receive real-time information such as location data, messages, and weather reports. The built-in KISS-mode TNC has been available since the first production run, enabling APRS operation from a PC.
*Planned for support in a future firmware update.

Dualwatch including DV/DV
The receiver section has independent and identical receiving circuits for both MAIN and SUB. It supports full dualwatch, including FM/FM, FM/DV, and DV/DV. You can operate with FM/DV (Terminal Mode) and listen to audio from two frequencies or modes simultaneously. This allows receiving from two D-STAR repeaters at once or monitoring another repeater while communicating.

Full Crossband Operation
Full V/V/ U/U/ and V/U operation on FM and DV. This will allow satellite operation with uplink and downlink frequencies monitored in receive and either A or B selected as the uplink frequency to transmit. This allows monitoring of your transmission to prevent overdriving the satellite and maintain a clean transmitted signal.

Supports a wide range of reception, including VHF/UHF Airband and FM radio
In addition to VHF, the radio supports Airband reception in the UHF range (225 ~ 400 MHz). Simultaneous dual-band reception of V/V, U/U, and V/U combinations is also available in the Airband. You can enjoy communication and a wide variety of reception.

Built with an advanced high‑precision GPS (GNSS) receiver
Equipped with a GPS (GNSS) receiver compatible with "Michibiki," enabling sub-meter high-precision positioning. It displays accurate own-station position information and transmits location data, delivering strong performance in APRS® and D-PRS. It also offers automatic position response, GPS logging, and automatic listing of nearby repeaters.
*The positioning accuracy of latitude/longitude/altitude may vary depending on signal reception conditions.

Flexible Mounting Options in the Vehicle
Using optional accessories like the MBA-20 controller bracket and MBF-1 mount base, the unit can be securely installed in a vehicle. Additional mounting options include the MBF‑11 bracket for docking the main unit and the MBA‑19 bracket for desktop placement. The device also supports AMPS-pattern mounting holes and standard 1/4-inch camera tripod screws, allowing flexible installation to suit various in-vehicle environments.

Compatible with the Optional HM‑209 Noise‑cancelling Microphone (optional accessory)
Using DSP technology, the unit automatically reduces noise and wind interference, delivering clear and natural audio that is easy to hear.

Extensive Memory Capabilities
Equipped with 1,000 memory channels, 100 skip channels, 4 call channels (2 × 2 bands), 2,500 repeater list channels, 300 calling list channels, 300 GPS memory channels, and 50 sets of program scan edge. Ample memory capacity is provided even for heavy users.

Other Features
• USB Type-C™ connectivity is available for use with PCs and smartphones.
• Built‑in microSD card slot for storing transmission/reception logs and voice recordings.
• Convenient memory management functions, including direct CSV data import.
• Speech function for frequency, receive mode and call sign announcements.
