Share Pictures
Take pictures – including your shack, operating place in the field, rigs or friends – with your Android™ device and share them over D-STAR transceivers. Add to your ragchew with images and make QSO even more fun.
D-STAR Stations and Repeater Sites Mapping
(* ID-51A PLUS and ID-5100A only)
See the location of other stations or repeater sites on a map using received position data. Automatically set the transceiver’s “FROM” and “TO” fields by tapping a repeater site or a station on the map.
DR Functions and Remote Settings
(* ID-51A PLUS and ID-5100A only)
You can set the transceiver’s “FROM” and “TO” fields and change some of the transceiver’s function settings from your Android™ device. When used with the optional Bluetooth™ headset, VS-3, you can wirelessly control the ID-5100A from a remote place.
Text Messaging
Text messaging allows you to chat with other D-STAR users. Use texts when voice communications may not be appropriate. By using the Android™ devices, you can exchange a message by your preferred language.
DV Fast Data Mode
By using data in place of voice frames, the ID-5100A and ID-51A PLUS transfers data 3.5 times faster (3480 bps) than in the conventional DV mode (with voice). Pictures taken by an Android™ device can also be quickly transmitted in the DV Fast Data mode.
