I'm a little confused. They developed a bluetooth app that requires you to take your phone out of it's holder or a pocket to control a radio that is meant to be carried on your belt and is just as easily accessible ?

I’d rather take my phone out while listening to my R30 using Bluetooth earbuds than take my R30
off of my belt from under a jacket, in a holder connected to an external antenna, etc.. What if I want to monitor discreetly and not walk around openly holding/carrying a scanner?

Giving users a *free* option is a bad thing?

Its really a game changer very versatile. Sept for iOS and Oct for Android from what I am told.

Outstanding, love this. Great that Icom is offering iOS/Android apps and adding this to an already excellent receiver.

Noticed with the upcoming September firmware 1.10 release the following changes are listed - hoping the automatic back light improvement is squelch activation. Be interesting to see what scan edge settings are changed and what battery condition info is added:

● Remote control operation with RS-R30I/A .
● Automatic backlighting is improved.
● Some restrictions of program scan edge settings are eliminated.
● Skip function is improved.
● Duplex check function during the memory scan is added.
● Duplex scan function is added.
● Memory group and group link settings are connected.
● Channel UP/DOWN is available across channel groups in the Memory mode.
● IC-R30 and VS-3 audio connection can be automatically cut when there is no audio.
● Volume of a Bluetooth® headset and the IC-R30 can be separately set.
● Battery condition information is added.
● The record file management system is improved.

This is going to look so good running on an Ipad or tablet.

And I'm liking what the new firmware has to offer.

Thank you Icom !

I have the IC-R30 and are very happy with it. It would be nice that in a future firmware upgrade DMR is added.
