AnyTone AT-D578UV PLUS vs Icom ID-5100E
Home / Comparison / AnyTone AT-D578UV PLUS vs Icom ID-5100E
AnyTone AT-D578UV PLUS or Icom ID-5100E? I’ve put both radios side by side: data from the manufacturers’ spec sheets and photos at the same scale. The AnyTone AT-D578UV PLUS comes out ahead on 2 m power, Bluetooth, weight and memory channels; the Icom ID-5100E leads on 70 cm power, a detachable panel and a microSD card. Digitally, the AnyTone AT-D578UV PLUS does DMR and the Icom ID-5100E does D-STAR — those systems don’t talk to each other, so the common language is analogue FM.
