Icom's first combined VHF/DSC

Icom UK launched five new marine products at Earls Court - the IC-M601 combined VHF/DSC transceiver, IC-M87 VHF/PMR marine handheld transceiver, IC-M802 MF/HF transceiver, OC-F510M marine fixed mobile and the IC-M401V vehicle mount transceiver.

The IC-M601 is Icom's first combined VHF/DSC transceiver.

The unit meets ITU Class D DSC, using an independent Channel 70 receiver to keep a continuous DSC watch. Only one antenna is required for the Ch 70 and VHF operations.

Icom says the optional HM134B Commandmic provides a second and/or third station capability and an intercom function, enabling the radio to be operated from remote locations, such as the flybridge or cockpit, or anywhere else up to a maximum distance of 21m.

The unit can also be connected to a 2-way hailer horn, when the amplifier increases output to 22W. Fog horn patterns are also available.

The body is waterproof to JIS Grade 7 and the unit has an extended 3-year warranty available.
