📷 Icom IC-9700 Picture Mode, New Feature Firmware, DSTAR 📲

- This is a new feature that was added to my IC9700 when I decided to update the firmware. It has been out for a few months now from what I have seen. Just another reason this radio is so cool. I have been using it almost every day for SSB, Dstar and FM simplex. This can also be exchanged between other Dstar radios that utilize the app for data incase you do not own a 9700, like the ID5100 and ID51. By connecting your tablet or phone to your capable Icom Dstar radio, you can have pictures sending in the background while you are talking. Or have an exclusive DSTAR picture net every week. :)

It's good to see the hobby constantly evolving. what a interesting feature this is.
Now they need to make the 7300 do sstv without the use of a p.c. haha.
Thanks to sharing keep up the good work. Vk4pie.
Very handy if you want to explain what you are trying to do by sending a diagram. Nice demo.
now im finally interested in the 9700,.. super,.. 73 eric
Now, I’m gonna order one.
Aaaawwww snap. Time to update mine !!! Didn’t know it added features. Like it needed it in the first place lol
I wonder if the 705 will do picture mode over HF too. Mine is coming next month, can't wait to try it!
Thanks Eric for this video! I have not as yet upgraded the firmware on my 9700 but will be in the near future..... I was unaware of the iOS app from Icom but it is now on my iPhone XR!!! And I am like you..... I am looking forward to receiving my New Icom IC-705 ounce it is released I think it will be a whole lot of HAM radio fun!! 73 K4BBC
cool stuff!
that's just freaking awsome.. then the 705 qrp rig can do that too bring it on .7 3
Cool stuff man! 73 de ve3hip in Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
That's Why I like D Star and Fusion because You can send Pictures, can't do that with DMR, it be nice if They come out with True Digital Ham TV Mode on 1200Mhz Band, also that Why I have a Cat S61 phone,
For missing pixels on large, low quality images, you can use some software to interpolate them based off of context of other pixels.
Oh I'm sold. I'm a Yaesu fanboy but I am SOLD.
I have four Yaesu radios and love them all but the 100 watts VHF and 75 watts UHF is what really sold me on the IC-9700.
Nice feature -- makes me want to buy one. (Though I have other projects still in the air for 2020.)
Man that's way out of this world! Is there a group that one can subscribe to for this feature?
its too bad the 7300 doesn't do D-star.
Yes!! Who knows perhaps an upgraded version of the 7300 is in the works with D-star.... it would be nice 👍
Thx Eric, gonna update the new version and play a little radio/camera. 73 KM6VAY
Eric... Love your tutorial videos. But please tell us why you took up two vertical parking places at 2:22 in the vid in some public lot? That's just not nice. Yeah... I'm one of those "Get off my lawn." guys. Keep the vids coming!
Hmm....wonder if it does direct SSTV or pull in images from weather satellites?? Either way, the 9700 is my next radio! I’m hoping they have some good sales at Dayton HamVention!
I hope Icom will disclose the properties of this mode in order to get it implemented in other D-Star-capable radios.
You can use the FREE Android ICOM app on your Android phone via Bluetooth in the KENWOOD D74 and it works. NO ICOM DSTAR radio comes with BLUETOOTH built-in. You can buy a Bluetooth card for your ICOM5100 to use it.
ALLL DSTAR radios can send and receive pictures. The older ones need to use a cable to connect to your Mobile/tablet to send the pictures. I do it with my old IC-2820, and my ID-51.
You can do this with the TH-D74A with the RS-MS1A app on Android as well. Bluetooth transfer to the radio.
Yes, but I think the cool thing is its in the radio no app needed, like if you loaded the SDcard up with images, and was able to receive and send photos while you use the radio
Yeah, I think the only other radios that support that are the yaesu FT2D and FT3D radios as they also have the speaker mic that has the camera built in. It is something that could be conceivably added to the TH-D74 since it has a SD Card.
Good lord man, check your email and messages! lol Nice vid.
It cool, but what make the mode better if it would also SSTV on that screen, that would be a game changer. No need for a pc all in the radio and save it to an sd card.
That's great
I can see some lid use transmit all, is there a function on the repeater to block this?
Add in the ability to natively decode sstv, now that would be useful.
Eric. You said you were lax on updates with your 9700. How about your 7300?? First one I did on mine really improved the RX. Don't forget to save you settings!!
Thanks. N6DHU
Eric, have you figured out how to cross band repeat this radio?
Thanks. 73
there's lots of places I don't get a cell signal that the ham radio would work to get maps or pics
Looks like it need a bit more error correction to retransmit bad blocks!
Great work Eric. Well explained. Should be on the Icom website. Do you know if the 7300 got the same upgrade?
no because 7300 doesnt have Dstar mode
DUH!! Of course! Sorry about that… Forgot about that part LOL
Live PD Officer Interviews that’s alright LOL. this is the “no shame” channel haha
HamRadioConcepts it sure was a great contest weekend! I didn’t know there was a contest until I found out by accident LOL it’s amazing what happens when people turn on their HF rigs… All of the sudden “propagation improves….“ lol.
Something ill never use... lol
Shame you can't rescan to correct errors.
What antenna do you use for SSB? Are you only on 2m SSB or 70cm, or both? I put up 2 stacked PAR Omniangle 2m antennas on my roof. So far, I've only gotten out 30 miles, and there hasn't been much activity on 2m SSB. I was more hopeful than what I've seen so far.
Interesting that you are using the ST-4001A software. It would be super nice if the RS-MS1A software worked over the network as well, vs requiring the use of the proprietary USB cable that costs a bundle.
I just picked up an IC-9700 this week and have been watching your helpful videos. This is one of the coolest features on a radio I've seen in 38 years as a ham!
Very cool but still don't see the point of spending so much money on a ready that just has UHF, VHF and no HF.
Hello there from India
Please make one small tutorial on yaesu all band radio for cross repeating from VHF/UHF to HF
I dont see this APP in my Apple search file, is this for Android Only??
Eric. Trying to find instructions in the manual to set this up. Can’t seem to find anything. Where did u find the info? Thanks
Dennis Kimrey its new from what I understand he updated the radios firmware and this is a new feature so you wont find it in the manual im guessing? Take care 73 de ve3hip
@@whitefordpipeshandmadebymi7238 I have had the firmware installed since December but have not played with the picture function. Manual does not explain anything about it. Thanks for replying
@@denniskimrey4129 check the advanced manual, photo mode. I think the link is in the description i posted
HamRadioConcepts Thanks Eric
Why. Not sstv 🤦
So I can use a 9700 to send memes? Sold!
I have it. Update the firmware for picture mode.
but I thought the bands were dead LOL :)
What’s next Icom? Able to send and receive video and files? How cool would that be. Or will Icom break the internet by adding the internet or video chat. I can see it now. A transceiver that now has on board camera for video chat. What will they call it. I-C-hat. 😆
Question - Can you transmit an image over DSTAR using Point to Point or do you have to use a DSTAR repeater/Hotspot?
yes you can do it simplex without a repeater if you are in range sure..
@@HamRadioConcepts That is good to know. I was thinking more along the lines of ECOMMS. Transmit an image of a situation when the internet is down. Thanks Eric and 73's.
@@Ben-md9yx yes that would be a good use for emcomm as long as you were in range
Why does a mobile phone receive a photo? Why does a mobile phone receive a text? Is the only difference encryption? I take it that encryption is not legal via short wave?
instead of having such useless features, they should fix the stability issues instead...
Fancy SSTV.

I think radios have gone to far, it's not even ham radio anymore
Oh no! Boomer thought: the cell phone sends via bluetooth to radio, radio sends to repeater, repeater sends to internet, internet sends to repeater, repeater sends to radio, which displays the pic. See where I'm going? And I jusr posted a rant called 'ft-anyting sucks and is ruining ham radio for cw ops!'. lol. Nice rig. I'll pass. Probably for a Yaesu. Cool vid tho!
a bit silly
Cool video and feature but really there is no point at all, my phone does photos 1000 x better.
Eric, have you figured out how to cross band repeat this radio?
Thanks! 73
My digital radio called my cell phone works much better ( and cost much less).
che59v yes but it’s just a fun feature also it might be useful in an emergency to send some types of pictures when cell service is down like missing kids in a disaster area or to send pictures of the area for officials to assess the damage!
Cool...but can it work when the cell service and Internet go down? 🤣
@@indyshadow18lg yes it can. it works via simplex as well.
Well done gain guys. I find this stuff very interesting . Thanks very much to you and other you tubers for sharing your experimental exploits.
Would you be able to send pictures via a Hot Spot?
Great video!
Should be able to , will try it
@@HamRadioConcepts Thanks. 8P6RC
4:27 packets. Interesting. I got a license, but haven't used it. I was going to apply my cs background into this... but I talked to an old HAM that was giving the clases.. and I think it's not allowed to send things like this. Well because in order to send/receive to an individual you'd have to use encryption that way an intended receiver would get the "head" and "tail" and all the "packets" in order. That's just like mobile devices. But imagine that we started to do this, well the billionaires would get the f see see and fehz all over it would they. What a world we live in where money controls freedom. What a bummer.
