This is a well designed modern radio. I am so glad they have an Android/iOS app that lets you download ALL repeaters and then search by GPS. Amazing. Yaesu is still in 90s.
I appreciate what you share with us and how you share it. Thank you for keeping it simple for a guy like me. I hope your day goes well.
I took the Technician class exam this morning and I passed
GREAT JOB!! CONGRATS
@@HamRadioConcepts I was very confident that I would pass. I studied so much
Congrats.
I passed my technicians exam today! I’m torn between this radio and the yaesu 5tdr.
We don’t have any d-star repeaters on the Big Island. There are about 5 fushion in the area.
Which would you recommend?
Good job and welcome!!!!
Really enjoyed this. I had a lot of questions about this radio and Eric you really helped me cover a lot of ground. You talk at a normal rate of speed and don't try to rush through you explanations. This is one heck of a handheld and I will be ordering one soon. Thank you so much . Joe
Firstly Eric, I also deeply appreciate what you share & so glad that our prayers & support have helped you & your family.
You have a good heart & it shows in all that you do so please keep going as we're loving the content.
The ID52 looks like my next ham radio goal lol.
Pity I can't afford it at the moment as I had saved up for the 705.
IP7x is also fantastic for those of us also into marine adventures, boating, fishing or kicking back by the seaside on holidays etc.
Deeply proud of the innovation & direction which Icom is taking their ham radio product range as evidenced by the ID52, 705, 7300, 9700 with design intuitiveness & I'm also seeing their ideas rub off onto other manufacturers.
Love how Icom is standardising their battery packs across their newer products as it greatly simplifies things when taking these radios portable & for sheer simplicity.
Fantastic news about the extended frequency receive range & being up to 480MHz means we here in VK can maybe use it in our UHF CB range from 476.425 to 477.400MHz.
Definitely an air-band enthusiast (thanks Icom for doing this also on 705) & the inclusion of Rx on 250 - 300MHz means we can listen in on unencrypted military aircraft traffic during air shows helping to inspire a whole generation of kids to radio & technology when "Top Gun Maverick" soon gets released in cinemas.
If Icom could maybe incorporate DMR in a newer IDXX design, I'd honestly would sell my 878!.
Thanks for sharing & wishing you all the very best!
One of the best radios I have ever seen. Thank you eric. I love your videos. There fun and informative 👍 👌
Great to see another video Eric. Think Ill have to get an ID-52. 73 de N4WRW
Hey Eric it's great seeing you man did you start out a new trend of amateur operators that watched your video and started their own you started it all love the radio thank you for sharing it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I want to like this Radio. I got it last week and hopefully I got a dud and wasn’t in the area that I was in. I wasn’t receiving very many people’s signal. I put it up against my Yaseu ft5d, which was receiving signals from several sources on several stations. I continued to carry around my Icom id52 Even though I wasn’t receiving very much of a signal. I called DX Engineering and they said that they would replaced it for me. I know that’s great and everything and I appreciate the company for doing that. I wish I didn’t have to go through all that to get this top-of-the-line radio. Oh well, I can wait another week for it while I get another one sent out to me.
Take off work for one week, the money you save on gas can easily buy this radio and you'll even have money left over for antenna upgrades and an extra battery
this is the correct answer.
I miss the simplicity of the IC-T81a, and IRLP off the Lexington Park Repeater...fun times.
Eric you have a great memorial weekend ❤️
This is Why I like Japanese Made Ham Radios because of Their Quality is very High! No Chinese Made Radios can't send Photos!
It's just so mind-blowing that a advanced radio like this wouldn't do USB-C
the screen is called a transflective screen, that means it's have a reflective membrane in a translucent, membrane on it that allows the rear light to shine through it but yet reflects,
Interesting and informative video,I’ll have to see how big my bonus in May will be 😆 I had a D74 but I found it incredibly complicated and sold it when I got into HF,so I could be in the market for a top of the range HT
Eric you're the best you have some great videos really enjoy your 👍 videos
I like how he has the album cover by tool on his monitor in the background hoping someone will notice but nobody noticed. Greetings from California, K6BWY.
Hello Eric good to see it 👍
Awesome video! 😊👍📻
Great video... again.
I wish I had a DStar repeater near Conroe TX
I studied for my Tech and Gen through HRP. Will be going for my Extra learning thrugh them. BTW, I want to get both the ID52A and the FT5DR. I want to get into both Fusion AND D-Star
Can you access all digital modes with the right hotspot? For example the Bridgecom Skybridge plus. It is my understanding that you can access all the digital modes regardless the radio you have. I may be understanding that wrong though.
@@JohnDoe-zg6fnI just got the SkyBridge for this reason. It can do various modes including DSTAR, System Fusion and DMR 👍📻
Good video! I love my D74 but want this one as well. Decisions... Ugh. 😅

Well covered the fine points!
can you do it every single cell site is taken out by a massive hurricane like the one that occur in Puerto Rico's several years back and only the ham radio operators had communication,
I have the ID51A+ and the D-74 are great radios. Like the new ID52 but, just can't do it now.
Really nice HT , i like Icom but that price is alittle out of my price range… Great videos Very informative keep them coming… “73 “ from KC2CLG
One question> Can the bluetooth connect to my phonak hearaing aids bluetooth? i am hard of hearing and have frequency loss that my bluetooth on my hearing aids correct. IT makes all the difference in the world> on my hearing aids i Hear well when just on a headset the sound is just mush. Hope you can help
When I discovered blueDV I gave up on the harsh robotic audio on radios and now I rarely use a radio for digi modes. Now I can have DMR, D-Star, Fusion on my cell phone, I use the DVMEGA Globetrotter and have a static IP and can connect without a dongle from anywhere.
I can use it on my windows laptop and Chromebook, on Windows I can monitor DMR, D-star and Fusion at the same time and easily switch from one to the other and easily change channels without having to wait for a gap in transmission. It's extremely simple to use and needs no codeplugs, DMR is shockingly bad and complicated.
I have the anytone 878 and the openspot 3 and I was able to set it up so I can use DMR, S-Star and Fusion all from the 878, the openspot 3 makes this possible but programming it was insanely complicated.
A radio still has it's uses but in reality Blue DV is the way forward, it's simple as it should be, Fusion radios are also simple to use but you're still limited to fusion, Blue DV makes it possible to use 3 modes without 3 different radios.
Once setup properly, your tx, rx audio levels Blue DV sounds amazing, especially through my laptop speakers, I use a surface pro 8 but also an old Samsung S5e Android tablet and it sounds much better than any radio, I also get complements on my TX audio.
I’m about to buy my first ham radio, and I’m leaning toward the ID-52.
I’m still studying for my Technician and General. Is this radio too advanced for a noobie?
This will be my first decent radio. I have had my tech license for a few months now and have only used the baofengs but they are just not cutting it. I have been researching the heck out of all the higher end HT's (Icom, Yaseu, etc) and too be honest they all are a bit confusing, but I finally decided to go with the ID-52a because it is less confusing than the others and the ease of operating it and getting access to repeaters and Dstar is much much easier than with the other radios. But this is what I came up with through much research from a newbie lol. So I just bought this radio on Friday and it should be here tomorrow l.
@@JohnDoe-zg6fn I did go ahead and buy the ID52. I have had it for a few months now.
No regrets.
One feature that’s turned out to be very useful is the ability to easily record conversations. That way, I don’t forget call signs, names, or locations like I did with the Baofengs. I’m outside when I’m using an HT, so it’s easy to forget things before I’m inside writing them down.
@@ndrthrdr1 That's awesome. I saw that you could do that, that was another selling point as well as being able to screenshot your screen as well as being able to send and receive pictures is pretty cool and no other ht as far as I save seen can do that. I have been doing a bunch of research on DPRS and DRATS and man it is some really cool stuff. Everybody keeps talking about APRS as if it is the best thing in the world, but I don't think they have fully researched our understanding of what DPRS and DRATS can do with DSTAR. Have you tried using DRATS yet? it is pretty cool stuff. My radio is on the way to me right now and I should be picking it up in a couple hours. Cant wait
So how’s this radio now? Update video?. Thanks
Hi, Is there a way to use the ID-52 for DMR with pi-star? 73's NO4I
Great video Eric. How does it compare to the FT5DR? I can't make up my mind which to upgrade to. Grant VK4JAZ
Newb here. So just for the ease of use and the app that comes with this HT was a big selling point t for me. It makes it SOOO much easier to access repeaters wherever I am and save me the time of having to program them all individually in a software program. But that's just me. Just bought it can't wait for it to show up tomorrow.
I got the FT5DR and the touchscreen drives me nuts. It already had to have a warranty repair fresh out of the box. I have an ID52 on the way 😊📻👍
wow thats nice
How did you get the B1 to last for days. I can't get mine to last a whole day without charging. I would love to get the Icom ID52 but no Dstar near me, in Delaware.
On the screen can you set it to have a dark background instead of a white background
What are you recommending for a good aftermarket antenna?
Excusme' this device how many kilometers has of the range,
I want one bad!
Is the Bluetooth capable of sync'ing to multiple devices. Can I use my phone and tablet with it at the same time
Just got a ID-52a but I can't seem to find anyone on DSTAR. I am able to get DPRS to work
Go to reflector 30c or 01c it's always busy
Is the icom 52 a full duplex radio? Thanks K7WHN
No it is not
Hi, what do you have your mic gain set at? Thanks
2 out of 4
@@HamRadioConcepts thanks!
Can it do analogic cross band beetween V/U or U/V?
The illusion is that you can use your from channel to transmit to a to channel in some far off land. But in reality that just isn't so or am I wrong?
✴IS? D-Star Dead?? !! ✴I'm thinking about getting an ID-52A. Is this a wise decision or a colossal waste of money?
Dstar is not dead. I sold everything I had for DMR and Fusion. I didn’t care for those modes and I use dstar all the time.
@@HamRadioConcepts ORDERED!!!
@@Rusted_Link reflector 30c and 001c are usually busy daily. Then you got all the XRF and XLX reflectors I have never even started with, those are sometimes bridged with dmr and fusion too
@@HamRadioConcepts 🤯slow down, you didn't teach me all of that lol
👍🏼👍🏼
How well does the ID-52A connect to car Bluetooth? Any success?
are you deaf? he literally said he connected it to his car bluetooth!
Was that a reflector in Albany NY or Georgia or another one?
Not sure, it was just on there LOL
Dumb question, Can a new Technician operator with no experience own one of these as their first radio?
Yes, technician class you can use this on dstar to talk all over the planet
10,000 hams
lol
It looks giant :/
Wish it was USB-C. Seems silly I had to buy a cable just for this.
How much CocaCola pays for the advert in video?
Are you being serious right now? For gods sake Agee, if that was the case I would quit my job. I mean come on man, you guys pay more attention to what's on my desk than what I'm talking about. PLEASE TELL ME how to get product placement ad money and I WILL DO IT!!
You just said you are using an amateur radio on land mobile radio service and GMRS? Why? Would you ever admit to doing that? Ham radios are not type accepted on either.
It's such a small thing. But still Micro USB is cringe in 2022.
I want all my new devices to use the same standard.
And this part of the radio will age poorly.
Compared to the FT5 which doesn't have any micro USB charging nor does it even use micro but MINi just to program radio. Yes I wish it would have USB c but at least it is not the ancient mini that yaseu uses.
