[Preparation]
To use the RS-MS1A with a supported transceiver, you need an internal Bluetooth unit or the data cable. See your transceiver’s instruction manual for details.
Note:
- The RS-MS1A may not work with all Android devices, even if it is one of the tested devices. This is because an application program on your device may conflict with the RS-MS1A.
- You may need to install additional file managing and image processing software.
- Your Android device must be USB host function compatible to communicate with your transceiver through the data cable. Even if your device is USB host function compatible, the RS-MS1A may not function properly.
- You may need to connect to the Internet through a Wireless LAN, an LTE network or a 5G network for some functions.
- The RS-MS1A supports only portrait orientation. It does not support Auto Rotate.
- Remove the data cable when the Android device is not used to reduce the devices power consumption
- The RS-MS1A program may lock up while transmitting some high-quality or large-sized image files, or continuously operating for a long time. In that case, restart the program.
- Depending on the Android device, the power supplied to the USB terminal may be stopped while in the display sleep mode or power saving mode. In that case, remove the “Screen timeout” check mark on the Application Setting screen of the RS-MS1A.
- When you transmit an image file with the baud rate set at 4800 bps, some of that data may be lost. In that case, set the baud rate to over 9600 bps.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★I connected this app to my 51a Plus I changed some settings and it works perfectly. It's not the most useful app ever seen but it does work I am using a samsung tab e 7 inch tablet with 4.4 Kitkat operating system if you look at other comments for this app you will see the radio settings you need to change there are just a few and it's very simple
4 ★I have been unable to get this application operating with my Icom ID-51A Plus radio. When I connect my RS-MS1A cable with my Samsung S2 and try to run the application I get the following start up error message: "Error Failed to communicate with the transceiver. Check the transceiver or application settings." I see from various comments on Youtube that I am not the only one with this problem. So far I am out $80 for a cable that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? UPDATE: I finally got the damn thing working. You have to follow the instructions in the ADVANCED PDF manual (not the small paper manual that you got in the box with the radio). Your radio's CD has the advanced manual on it or you can download it from Icom. What you have to do is go to section 16 in the advanced manual and follow the instructions for turning the data jack on. See page 16-76 of the advanced manual. Follow those instructions and it will work just fine. It's really ridiculous that this information wasn't included with my RS-MS1A cable. It would have saved me a lot of time and aggravation. I'm docking it one star for this "oversight."
1 ★Connected to IC-7100 using cable supplied with rig. The app does nothing. Waste of time.
4 ★Works well on a Galaxy S4 and Dell Vue tablet - but you do need to turn on C-IV communications on your ID51Plus or similar device.
1 ★This app does not work on either my Samsung S6 Edge or my older NOTE 8.0. Do NOT waste your money on the Icon OPC-2350LU or this App if you own either, as they will NOT work. The best you can hope for is an error message, "Failed to communicate with the transceiver. Check the transceiver settings or application settings.". To the extent I am able, I have checked both the transceiver and applications settings and made changes, yet nothing. Very disappointed.
1 ★Does not work on my samsung galaxy note 10.1 or my one plus android phone. tried connecting to USB.. just comes back with USB not connected. My radio is an ICOM 7100. Need some work done and a better list of DV radios
5 ★Read Dave's Advice! I just did and it worked on my cheap Samsung tablet. Dave said: This application works very well with both my One+1 and my Nexus7 tablet. There were a couple of problems when I tried to get the cable to connect but I found that by default, the ID51A and ID51APlus radios come up with the CV-I settings turned off. You will need to go into the menu and turn on the CV-I and set the echo back to 0. These instructions really needed to be included in the instructions for the cable set that goes with this APP, but were not. I really like the map selection of nearby stations, very intuitive. THANK YOU, DAVE, FOR HELPING ME OUT!!!!

1 ★Nexus 5x fully supports USB host mode. App simply states, "Failed to communicate with the transceiver. Check the transceiver or application settings" super useful, thanks icom!!!
5 ★Just picked up a Lenovo Tab 2 A7-20 at Best buy for 69 bucks and it works perfectly with my ID-51a 50th Anniversary transceiver perfectly. I just made sure to configure the radio CI-V mode properly per the manual. Everything works great. Plus this is a great tablet for the price.
2 ★Tried using USB not working hope you guys make new update to make this work in ic-7100 or sell a Bluetooth for $50 or less
5 ★Used this with a Galaxy S7 and it worked straight out of the box. I love this app and see how useful it will be for EmComm. Just one request! It would be ver useful to be able to send files other than pictures such as spreadsheets, text documents, and other file types. If there is a way I am missing please feel free to contact me.
