icon ht we're here with rain O Vact. He's got tell us all about
it. But we're gonna start with Jason's question first. Okay, I had
the conversation. That's the first thing I thought us, who's teaching the D
star one on one course? The other day? He goes, I'm calling
an ID fifty two light. I go, I jokingly said, yeah,
you could consider it an ID fifty one mark two. G Okay, uh
yeah, yeah. The thing is this is for somebody it's wanting to get
into the hobby. We had a lot of debates about whether to go the
rout of the ID thirty one again, where only I mean our second largest
market. I call it second because United States, Canada and the America's being
the first. Japan has no two meter repeaters, right, so you're looking
at UHF being extremely important for them, but it was mediocre here in the
States, even though most of the D Star repeaters are on UHF. Now
that there's more getting on two meters, the guys like the our generation repeater.
It's analog and D Star, we decided to come out with the ID
fifty. Pricing hasn't been set yet. It's got a lot of the features
that that people liked out of the ID fifty one series. I think it
was ID No, it's the ID fifty two where we introduced dual DV dual
watch, right. This one is like the fifty one where it does not
so that's going to jokingly say it's like the Mark two g o O.
There's a lot of fifty one features in this product that a lot of people
were happy with. It does not have the color display. Um. It
does have the waterfall feature for it, but it's going to be monotone,
okay. The user interface is that of the fifty two. They're using Gooey's
for your hold it next to it size comparison. Really yeah, then hey,
the knob fell off? Man, I don't know, and I mean
I'm hard on my equipment though. You know how to get in touch with
me to get a yeah? Yeah yeah, that would take some effort though.
But that's your second one. What happened to the first one? No,
as the as the zu I lost. I've always that's my that's my
that's my first one. That's my first one. You're welcome everyone for the
shot. Well wait a minute, let let me let's go over here to
a table to put it up. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I just realized I had one finger. Vat makes it look like. But
let's let's imagine the fifty two. It has all its knobs on it there.
Sorry, how do you obtain a free replacement knob for your already fifty
two? I'm about to show you in this video right now? Oh no,
he jip meat, Can I have that knob? When you're done with
it, I will send an email to get you a knob. I will
thank you. So what you're saying, the feature wife's pretty much the same
minus the screen. I'm minus the screen minus the color. You do not
get the dual watch or the DV mode with the fifteen dog. You can
tell by the license plate, I mean off camera. We got a guy
laughing. You're running the fresh junket, right, what's up, chuck?
It's all the same controls everything pretty much, right. Yeah, if the
user if the user interface works, why changes, right. I was wondering
if if you just drop the D star out of it, but apparently it's
it has D star as well. Yeah, it's got the D start And
if you wanted one that did not have star, I would point you to
the T T ten. Yeah, we've done We've done videos on that one
already. So the size difference between the fifteen the fifteen two is largely the
screen. Why drunk down, it's just going too monochrome. You got a
little smaller platform. Smaller platform. You take a look here, your lines
line up, so the speakers on the same size, the buttons are the
same size, So your screen height, ye know, GPS and ten in
the same place looks like the same style knob. So if my ID fifty
knob comes up and missing, um, that's grape vine Texas. Right grape
Vine, Texas, just right, just right north of you. Very good,
thanks, great. What charging options? Well, one of the things
that I like about it is the USBC does have there you go, that's
what everybody's gonna be asking. That's gonna be the same, all right,
okay, all right, you don't have a release for that. It does
have USBC charge, so right, thank you, right, perfect, Thanks
a lot. Ray
