Franks, 188 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.320 you get your get your airline ticket now, saving your pennies. 189 00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:02.879 I I wish I could be like Paul Man who 190 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.360 just you know, I'm gonna work and just take the 191 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.960 time off and somehow magically arrived there. 192 00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:08.799 I don't know. 193 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.360 Yeah, it's it's everybody's got their own kind of kind 194 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.919 of uh gimmick, I guess, but yeah, that's. 195 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:17.399 That's what it is. 196 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:18.320 I do want to go. 197 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.000 I do want to go. The tickets weren't too bad. 198 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.799 That's good, that's good. I don't uh, I I looked 199 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.120 at tickets like a year ago for that when it happened. 200 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.120 But when I when I asked Josh about it, he's like, well, 201 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.120 they everyone announced a new radio this year, so probably 202 00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.679 next year there won't be anything happening at all. Like, well, 203 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.039 that's a good point. I don't. Yeah, I don't know 204 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:40.159 how popular that is. 205 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.480 But uh, maybe we can get Icon to sponsor US. 206 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.440 Sponsor. I come when even sponsored rate that often? 207 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.919 So yeah, they put me to work, so right, it's 208 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.679 not there's no such thing as a free airflight air 209 00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.840 flight to uh Tokyo. 210 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:04.000 No, I don't doubt that at all. Okay, so we've 211 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.759 got this. Let's say I'm gonna switch over right here, 212 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:11.000 and this is the radio. Ray tell us about this radio? 213 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.480 What obviously, the USB C charging is different than the 214 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.519 original ID fifty two, But what else was what else 215 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.159 was upgraded in this radio? In the Plus model? 216 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.000 The two big things one was what you pointed out 217 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:30.440 the USBC. So you can do programming, charging, offloading, or 218 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:34.039 loading data to the micro SD card. 219 00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:35.279 Okay. 220 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:37.480 So one of the things that you can do natively 221 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:40.639 on the fifty two series is see c photos that 222 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:42.159 are transmitted back and forth. 223 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.399 Oh okay, so you. 224 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.480 Can use the you can use the app to do that, 225 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.559 or you can natively do it with the radio itself. 226 00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:57.519 But the other thing is an upgrade on the Bluetooth chipset. 227 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.480 So there are additional things that you can do with 228 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.399 the radio. Now you no longer need to be tethered 229 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:10.840 to your smart device that's connected to the internet. Okay, 230 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.440 so you can wirelessly be in access point mode or 231 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:15.879 terminal mode on the radio. 232 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.559 Now explain the difference between access point and terminal mode 233 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:22.200 if you don't mind. I know you didn't want to 234 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.120 go through that part of the menu, but but I 235 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.000 saw those two I saw those two options in the 236 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:28.519 app that we're going to look at here in a minute, 237 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:30.159 and I didn't understand what the difference was. 238 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.399 So terminal mode is where just imagine the handheld being 239 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:42.840 your your Bluetooth speaker microphone. Okay, so you can control 240 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.960 what reflector you go to and things like that, and 241 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:53.000 the radio itself is then is your speaker mic. 242 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:54.200 Okay. 243 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.879 Access point mode is where you use the radio, but 244 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.799 then you use another radio to talk to it. So 245 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.559 you could have it set up inside the house and 246 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.879 then being outside with another radio make that communication through 247 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.759 through the radio itself. 248 00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:16.399 So in theory, I could set up like an access 249 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.039 point radio here in the shack on an external antenna 250 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.600 and then take the ID fifty two inside the house 251 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.480 and talk in through the access point radio here in 252 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:32.440 the shack. Yes, okay, gotcha, Okay, that makes sense. Okay, okay, good, 253 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:33.279 So this. 254 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:36.240 Is this is the first one. Let me think I 255 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.200 might be misspeaking. The seven oh five might also be 256 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:43.159 able to do it wirelessly, but that's the only two 257 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.399 radios that you can wirelessly have terminal mode or access 258 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.399 point mode. The rest of them need to be tethered 259 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.639 to a computer or some type of smart device connected 260 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.279 to the internet. 261 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:59.799 Gotcha, okay, okay, good okay. I turned the screen back 262 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:02.240 to you guys. Saw that as my background on my 263 00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:04.480 screen was dark. I changed it that way on purpose 264 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.360 because I like that better. But I think it's easier 265 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.080 to see this in the camera so I change it 266 00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:10.120 back to the white background. You can do either or 267 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:10.799 on this radio. 268 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:11.240 Nice. 269 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.360 It came this way, and I changed it to the 270 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.200 dark background because again I prefer that, but definitely easier 271 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:17.720 to see it in the camera now, I think. 272 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.200 Now there is also a setting where you can turn 273 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.320 the timer off on the back light. Yeah, and the 274 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:24.840 radio will stay on all the time. 275 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.679 I'm not look at that here in a second. So 276 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:35.000 this application is called rs MS one A and it 277 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:38.600 connected to I'm connected via Bluetooth right now, and it 278 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:41.200 connected right up the first time I pulled it up 279 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.360 and it I turned Bluetooth on on the radio and 280 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:47.919 searched for it on the phone. They found each other. 281 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.919 They paired no problem. I had a I had an 282 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.000 error on the app when I tried to connect. They 283 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:56.679 paired together, the phone and the radio paired together. And 284 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.519 then I had an error when I opened the app 285 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.519 and tried to connect the app to the radio. But 286 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.039 that was easily resolved when I changed the CIV address 287 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.080 inside of the app and just just had to look 288 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.519 it up in the menu system on the radio and 289 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:10.919 go into the app and change it and boom, it's 290 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:12.840 right there. So now they see each other every time 291 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:14.720 I connect it. Now they see each other just fine. 292 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:15.039 So that's it. 293 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.440 And you got to give our technical sport guy that 294 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:19.600 helped you out a shout out because he is a 295 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:20.519 fan of your show. 296 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.000 Oh okay, yeah, yeah. His email said that he had 297 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:27.039 I had met him at Dayton last year, which I'm 298 00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:30.080 sure he's right. I apologize for not remembering that I 299 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:32.519 met several people at the icon booth, so I will 300 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:34.600 have to remember that the next time I see him 301 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:37.360 at a show. But yeah, Shane was a Shane. I 302 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.360 explained to him what I was doing. He was like, oh, yeah, 303 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.399 just go here, change this. He knew exactly what it was, 304 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.759 so he was very helpful in that regard. 305 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.519 And it is interesting because when you take a look 306 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:49.600 at it and you say you want to connect to 307 00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:53.840 the ID fifty two, there's three different versions. Now, yeah, 308 00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:57.799 there's the fifty two, the fifty two plus sixtieth anniversary, 309 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:02.279 and then there will be the fifty two non anniversary model, right, 310 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.799 the fifty two plus non anniversary model. 311 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.799 And does the That's one thing I didn't ever get 312 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:14.000 a chance to ask Shane. The programming software itself, does 313 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:16.440 that work on the plus model? Or is that going 314 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:17.480 to be a new version. 315 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:20.720 It should already be up on the website. If it's 316 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.799 not on the ICO America, go to the global site, 317 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.320 which is Icomjapan dot com. Okay, go to the ID 318 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:31.639 fifty two and under the support download section will be 319 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:32.360 the software. 320 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.639 I went to the Icomamerica site and drilled down to 321 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.879 the ID fifty two plus page and went to the 322 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.240 down the software downloads, and that software was called ID 323 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.360 fifty two. It didn't say anything about plus, so I 324 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.440 was not sure if the had been updated yet, and 325 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:50.080 I didn't try to connect to it or anything. But 326 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.840 that's probably something I'll do in a future video. But 327 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.639 I'd like to go through some programming steps and see 328 00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.440 what we can do with that. But it is. But 329 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.279 it's a lot of the times some of these radios 330 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:06.440 are reviewed, especially the Chinese radios that have USB C charging. 331 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.440 Many times that usbcport is on the battery, so you're 332 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:12.759 just charging with it. And one question I get really 333 00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:16.920 often is can you program the radio with USBC, Which 334 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:18.960 you already said that Ray, So this radio here is 335 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:23.640 programmable with USBC, not only just chargeable with USBC. So 336 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.200 that's a that's a that's a. That's a plus in 337 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.680 my book because you can both program and charge it 338 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:30.839 via the USBC port. 339 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:33.279 So that's I'll send a note to the team on 340 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.680 the ICOM America website. I'm looking at the ICOM Japan 341 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.720 site and do I have share privileges on here? 342 00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:46.720 I can give them to you. Okay, Okay, you're good now. 343 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.880 And find the right page here. 344 00:17:53.720 --> 00:18:00.200 So Vic is asking, No, not Vic some but he 345 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.920 asked that it. Oh they're Jamison, there we go, he asked, yeah, 346 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:04.359 there you go. 347 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:08.920 So there's a CS fifty two plus programming software. It 348 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:13.480 was uploaded on the ICOM Japan site in July twelve. 349 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.079 Okay, I did not look on the Japanese side. I 350 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:18.880 looked on the ICAM America side. Okay, good deal. Good, 351 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:20.920 I will go grab that probably after the stream ends. 352 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:26.319 Good, so I will definitely email and let the guys know. Perfect. Yeah. 353 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.960 Jamison in the chat is asking, isn't there a ninety 354 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.680 fifty two A? If so, what's the difference? 355 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:30.920 That? 356 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:33.759 Correct me if I'm wrong, Ray, The A model is 357 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.359 the America's model, the North America model, and the E 358 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:40.160 model is the European model. Guess sir, And is there 359 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:43.160 a different one for the for the Asian or Japanese model. 360 00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.559 It's either going to be the A or the E. Well, 361 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:50.880 I take it back for in country. For the JDM, 362 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:54.640 they will have their Japanese site and the software will 363 00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:55.519 be on there for them. 364 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.119 Okay, okay, but yeah, the A is the one that 365 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:05.440 we're going to see in North America generally speaking. So okay, 366 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:08.559 so this, uh, this software here, I'm gonna you pointed 367 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:10.279 out a minute ago that I was unlocking my phone 368 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:15.599 on camera, so I'm not gonna do that again. So 369 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:17.960 this software here will do a lot of things. And 370 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:19.680 this is the This is kind of the menu that 371 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.839 I was when I went through that. When I opened 372 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:24.519 up this menu and just kind of read through it, 373 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:26.079 I was like, you know what, I think I need 374 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.799 to get ray on and have him kind of go 375 00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:30.880 through all this. So if you don't mind, this is 376 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.039 kind of the menu that I'd like to go through. 377 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.119 I'm sorry you can't see that. I forgot I thought 378 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:36.880 I switched that. 379 00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:41.880 When I was sharing my screen. Sorry about that. 380 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.359 No, no, you're fine, it's fine. So this is the 381 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:46.640 this is the once again the audience can see it. Now, 382 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.640 this is the application. If you click the little Hamburger 383 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.680 menu at the top left. These are the menu items 384 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.720 that are in the list here. And this is kind 385 00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.519 of like like there's a lot of different stuff here 386 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:02.400 that this will do. And DR. There's a DR mode 387 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.920 and a share pictures and a text The text messaging 388 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.759 is what I was trying last night when I was 389 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:10.200 trying to connect to the UIs repeater and send a 390 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.799 tech I just sent test and I saw it key 391 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:14.839 up the radio and I guess it didn't key the 392 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:19.599 repeater because the RX history was still blank. But that's 393 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:21.440 kind of neat that you can send a text message. 394 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.359 So if you don't mind, can we just go through 395 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:25.559 this menura? Is that okay? 396 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:26.079 Sure? 397 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:26.960 Okay? 398 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:27.559 All right? 399 00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:29.519 So the top one is just says DR, which I 400 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.880 assume is not digital recorder, but. 401 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:36.720
