Fresh from Tokyo Hamfair 2025, Icom has unveiled not only the new IC-7300MK2 but also two brand-new concept models:

📡 Icom ID-5200 Dual-Band Transceiver

144/430 MHz operation with FM + DV (Digital Voice)

Simultaneous dual reception (FM-FM, FM-DV, DV-DV)

Touchscreen interface for easy control

Broad reception: VHF, UHF, and even Airband

Wi-Fi + Bluetooth built in

Internal gateway function for terminal mode & access point mode

Dedicated DV repeater monitor

🎛️ Icom AH-6 Automatic Antenna Tuner

Dual antenna support: SO-239 (50Ω) & long-wire

Covers 1.8–50 MHz for HF versatility

100W power rating

Designed as a one-stop solution for HF antenna matching

Both of these are concept models with specs subject to change, but it’s clear Icom is pushing innovation in both VHF/UHF and HF accessories.
