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.

This is a very nice radio, easy to program and understand. I would have liked if you could plug mic into control head but oh well that’s not really a big deal because I’m using as a base station radio. Not sure why Icom doesn’t include the mobile bracket but again not a big deal. I’m using with the Arrow dual band antenna. I’m getting into most repeaters some more than 50 miles away. I’m also using digital (DStar) with an Open Spot 4. Programming has been relatively easy with the user manual and YouTube videos. Audio is crisp and clear into my external speakers. Touch screen is nice and clear and works well. Although this radio has been out a long time it can in my opinion hold its own against newer models from competitors. Nice job Icom.

Still a great radio even though it came out around 10 years ago. It receives better and handles noise better than the more recent $600 radio it replaced. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the screen isn’t too pretty, but it’s huge and very legible. Mobile D Star is a lot of fun with a hotspot. And there’s no better place to buy from than MTC!

This radio has very good audio on the TX and RX side and the menus are very intuitive and easy to navigate.

This appears to be easy to work but have not had enough time with working with it. MTCRadio did a great job of implementing my order and I thank them. I will look to do business with them before going to the Chain stores for ham equipment.
