ID-50A: Review and Tutorial

In this video we’ll take an in-depth look at ICOM’s new ID-50A D-STAR radio. We’ll review the buttons and controls, set up the basic D-STAR elements and demonstrate how you’ll use your new radio.
Note, I'd misplaced the included USB-C cable so didn't mention that one came with the ID-50A. It does.

Very informative, thank you. Well done.

[@thomaslandi6698]

Thank you for your reviews. Will you review the new Radioddity DB40-G GMRS Mobile Radio?

[@DD-uq8qg]

There is not one DMR - there in Dmr Brandmeister and there is Dmr Mark

[@GadgetTalk4U]

You are listing DMR networks. A DMR radio can associate with any network.

Way too complicated for this old radio operator.

I hear ya. The digital modes certainly require some study!
