			Icom IC-M323 Icom's IC-M323 VHF/DSC has the same common user interface that has been adopted on the latest Icom radios including intuitive “soft-keys” permitting faster access to radio functions. As a result of simplifying the technical features offered, Icom has managed to produce a set that offers really good value! Meets the Latest Class D DSC Specifications and when connected to an external GPS receiver, current position and time are shown on the display.

			Icom IC-M330GE The engineering department at Icom have done it again and produced one of the smallest fixed VHF/DSC radios in the world. The IC-M330GE’s front face is so compact that it matches the size of a modern smartphone. However, despite its small size, the IC-M330GE has all the hallmarks of Icom's stylish design, ease of use and performance. The IC-M330GE’s receiver provides reliable communication in RF busy environment like a marina. (Selectivity and IMD: more than 70 dB). The radio monitors CH 70 continuously, even while you are receiving another channel. DSC functions include distress, individual, group, all ships, urgency, safety, position request/report, polling request and DSC test calls. The GPS receiver provides your location, bearing and speed by using information from GPS, GLONASS and SBAS. The acquired position information can be used for DSC calls. An external GPS antenna is supplied to maximise coverage. *IC-M330GE is the first Icom fixed marine VHF radio that complies with the latest maritime ITU standard "ITU-R M493-14" this standard, in essence, requires an external GPS antenna. ITU-R M493-14 will be compulsory from November 2018. All maritime class D fixed radios from all manufacturers will need to comply after this date.

			Icom IC-M423G The IC-M423G benefits from a new user interface which makes driving this Icom fixed mount radio incredibly simple. A compact radio that will fit easily into any console, size does not mean a loss of performance. Boasting and packing a proverbial punch with its audio of 10W from its loudspeaker makes sure you will clearly hear calls and it's clear display has a white backlight. The IC-M423G meets the Latest Class D DSC Specifications. GPS is built in and options include the HM-195 Command Microphone.

			Icom IC-M400BB The IC-M400BB 'black box' marine transceiver, can be installed out of sight, which is important where space is at a premium. The IC-M400BB is controlled by the Icom HM-195 Commandmic. The HM-195 allows operation of all radio functions including DSC, radio, foghorn and hailer horn from the cockpit or fly bridge. The HM-195 utilises the same user soft key interface used on Icom’s latest range of marine radios making control of the radio very straight forward.

			Icom HM-195CMI The HM-195CMI is a compact black box interface that provides multi-station control between Icom VHF/DSC marine transceivers and two HM-195 Commandmics. This unit transforms: 1) IC-M400BB Black box VHF/DSC transceiver from a single station to a dual station system. 2) IC-M423 fixed VHF/DSC from a dual station to tri station system. This new interface is ideal for larger yachts or powerboats that require two helm positions or commercial vessels who want VHF Marine communication from the front and rear of the boat.
