What Happened
The ICOM ID-5200a has finally been released in the USA! While most folks get on a reservation list for it, the unit was widely available for purchase the moment it landed. Icom also put out a firmware version 1.1 almost as soon as the radio landed in the USA, which includes a lot of great UI and feature improvements.
Why It Matters
This radio has long been awaited by the community... and us too! Look for our review soon
