* D-STAR (Digital Smart Technology for Amateur Radio) is a digital radio
protocol developed by JARL (Japan Amateur Radio League).

Worldwide Digital Communication Whenever You Like
D-STAR Communication with
Digital Clear Voice and Data
The ID-51E is a VHF/UHF dual bander and has digital/FM dual mode
functions. The ID-51E makes not only conventional FM local calls, but also
D-STAR calls through a repeater network connected worldwide, or calls overan Internet gateway. With the ID-51E, you can call a friend in another city, oreven internationally through a D-STAR repeater, with digital clear audio. Inaddition, the ID-51E can send digital voice with data; text messages, GPSposition information and pictures.

DR (D-STAR Repeater) Function
The DR (D-STAR Repeater) function makes
D-STAR communication simple. By only selecting
a destination call sign in “To”, and a nearby
repeater in “From”, you can talk with other
D-STAR users. The call is automatically routed to
the repeater destination the called user lastaccessed. Call sign routing enables you to call aselected person wherever they are. In addition,using the reflector function, you can talk throughseveral repeaters at once.

Access Point Mode and Terminal Mode Expand D-STAR Coverage
New modes in the ID-51E PLUS2 enable you to make Gateway calls through a PC (Windows ®) or an
Android TM device, even from areas where no D-STAR repeater is accessible.

Access Point ModeUse the ID-51E radio
connected to the Internetthrough a PC (Windows®)
or AndroidTM device*, asan Access point. You canuse another D-STAR radio
to send your voice and/or
data through the Accesspoint radio.

Terminal Mode
Connect the ID-51E tothe Internet through a PC(Windows®) or AndroidTM
device*, and send yourvoice and/or data throughthe Internet gateway to a
destination repeater.

Access point mode example

Terminal mode example* An optional free download software, RS-MS3W is required to be installed in the PC. An optional free download application, RS-MS3A is required
to be installed in the Android TM device.

Integrated GPS, Dualwatch, AM/FM Receiver, IPX7 Waterproof and More
Integrated GPS Receiver

Independent AM/FM ReceiverShows your current position and altitude on thedisplay, and offers a position reporting function, inthe DV mode. When receiving a call addressed toyour call sign, the ID-51E can automatically send
your current position information*1. Between ID-51E’scommunication, replied position information canpop up on the caller’s display. Using the integrated
GPS*2 and repeater memories, the ID-51E searches
for nearby DV or analog FM repeaters.
*1 Function not available on all D-STAR networks.
*2 To use the Repeater Search function, the position data of the repeater isrequired. The ID-51E will be shipped with D-STAR repeater memories
preprogrammed, but the position data of some D-STAR repeaters maynot be entered or exact.

TO:JL3Current* The OPC-2350LU data cable is required to connect to an AndroidTM device.
Note: Please check the system requirements on the Google PlayTM RS-MS1A page
before installing the application.

DV Fast Data Mode*
VHF/UHF DIGITAL TRANSCEIVER

5W

By using data in place of voice frames, the ID-51E
transfers data 3.5 times faster (3480 bps) than in theconventional DV mode (with voice). Pictures taken by an
AndroidTM device can be quickly transmitted in the DV
Fast Data mode.
* The DV Fast Data mode is not compatible with the DV mode low-speed data communication.
