Icom IC-GM800 MF/HF Marine Fixed Mobile Radio with Enhanced Features for GMDSS Communication

The Icom IC-GM800 is a robust and reliable fixed mobile radio specifically engineered for Class A DSC operation. It is a crucial component of a complete GMDSS MF/HF communication system, ideal for commercial vessels regulated under SOLAS. Its user-friendly design features a clearly labeled directional keypad and soft keys, ensuring intuitive operation for users.

This radio is equipped with a high-quality speaker that delivers clear audio and a flat frequency response across a wide frequency range, ensuring superior sound quality in all maritime environments.

Satisfies SOLAS Carriage Requirements

The IC-GM800 meets the stringent GMDSS requirements for VHF and MF/HF radios, making it essential for SOLAS-regulated commercial vessels on international voyages. It also complies with the MED "wheel mark" standards for European merchant ships.

Designed to Withstand Harsh Maritime Conditions

Having passed rigorous environmental tests and quality checks, the GM800 is built to endure tough maritime conditions. The radio controller is IPX7 rated, ensuring water resistance up to 1 meter depth for 30 minutes, providing you with durable and reliable performance.

Advanced DSC Capabilities

The radio includes a dedicated DSC watch-keeping receiver that continuously scans six distress channels in rotation. It can store up to 100 MMSI members for DSC calls, each with a 10-character ID name. The DSC Multitask function displays up to seven DSC procedures simultaneously, and the radio can send distress relay calls as needed.

High-Quality 4.3 Inch Colour Display

The 4.3-inch colour TFT LCD offers an almost 180-degree wide viewing angle with high-resolution characters and function icons.
