Episode 175 - Icom ID-5100a Unboxing and Programming

Published: Feb. 10, 2019, 4:05 a.m.

My primary purchase from Black Friday of 2018 was the Icom ID-5100A Mobile DSTAR Radio from R&L Electronics. This radio isn't new, but it is the first time I have had a chance to make a video with one of these models, so I decided to post this video. I am looking forward to getting this radio mounted in my truck and doing some on-the-road videos with it, and also some DSTAR videos on this channel.

After creating this video, I did follow up with R&L and learned that the "Deluxe" model comes with the faceplate mount, and not the body mount, for the radio. The body mount is sold separately for about $30.
