The ID-50A's Band Scope and Waterfall displays can visually show active channels with a wide span and timeline, so it is easy to find active channels by sight. The Dualwatch function doubles QSO opportunities to monitor VHF/VHF, VHF/UHF and UHF/UHF bands at the same time. The ID-50A can receive both the Airband and the FM bands. Large capacity battery pack, BP-307 for the IC-705 is usable as well.
