VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER IC-M505
Feature rich with a user friendly focus!
ITU Class D DSC built-in
IC-M505 has built-in class D DSC. DSC uses a unique ID (MMSI code) similar to a telephone number, allowing you to make contact with a specific boater or group of boaters in your area. In an emergency situation, a formatted distress call can be emitted at the touch of the “Distress” button.
Position Request and Position Report
Over the DSC, your own and other ships position data can be exchanged with the position request or position report functions. The received position information can be transferred to external navigation equipment with NMEA data format. In addition, the polling (request/reply) function checks whether a specific ship is in the communication range.
* External GPS receiver and navigation equipment which accepts NMEA0183 are required.
Optional COMMANDMICIII™
The optional COMMANDMICIII™ provides 2nd station capability to the IC-M505, convenient for use in the fly bridge or cabin. All functions of the M505, including DSC, distress call, fog horn, as well as normal transmission and reception are available from up to 18.3m (60ft) away.
Advanced waterproof protection
The IC-M505 withstands submersion in up to 1.5m depth of water for 30 minutes. It is equivalent to IPX8 standard.
25W hailer/RX speaker and fog horn capability
When connected to a hailer horn, the ICM505 (or optional COMMANDMICIII) can call another ship or person. The RX speaker function allows you to monitor the radio audio from the hailer. Four fog horn patterns are available for the automatic fog horn.
Large LCD with dot-matrix characters
The IC-M505 has a capability of up to 168 character full dot-matrix display that allows a variety of information such as GPS data and DSC emergency data etc. to be seen instantly and easily. With the backlit display, the large buttons and knobs, the ICM505 is very easy to operate.
Rear panel microphone connection
The microphone can be connected from the rear panel allowing flexible installation in limited space.
* Optional connection cable, OPC-1542 and HM-126RB/RG is required.
