IC-M504A VHF (Black)
ICOM Dependability with
Remote-mounted Microphone
The IC-M504 is a compact, rugged
VHF radio built for the harsh marine environment. Not only is the unit
waterproof, it is submersible for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5
meters.
Large LCD with Dot-matrix
Characters
The IC-M504 has a 168-charactor,
full-dot matrix display that allows you to easily view a variety of
information, such as GPS data, DSC emergency data, etc. The large
buttons and knobs provide user friendly operation.
ITU Class D DSC
The IC-M504 has built-in class D
DSC, which enables you to constantly monitor channel 70. This
functionality provides users at sea with the peace of mind that they
can call for help by pressing the “Distress” button if the need arises.
Position Request and
Position Report with External GPS Receiver
Over and above 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. In addition, the
polling (request/ reply) function checks whether a specific ship is
within the communications range.
Superior Receiver Performance
The IC-M504 has excellent receive
specifications of 80dB (typical) for intermodulation rejection,
adjacent channel selectivity, and 0.22µV (typical) high sensitivity.
The IC-M504’s superior receiver provides excellent resistance to
intermodulation and allows you to catch a weak signal between strong
stations.
Excellent Audio Output Power
The extra large speaker is mounted
into a well spaced housing, producing greater sound than the specified
4.5W output power. You can get clear and loud reception without
requiring repetition of the message, even over the engine or other
background noise.
25W Hailer/RX Speaker and
Auto Foghorn
When connected to a hailer horn or
external speaker on the deck or tower, you can make an announcement
on-board from the microphone. The RX speaker function,
“receiver-repeater”, allows you to monitor the received audio. Four
foghorn patterns are also available for the automatic foghorn.
Full Control 2nd Station
Capability
The COMMAND MIC-III is a remote
control for the IC-M504 that may be positioned up to 18.3m (60ft) away
from the radio. All M504 functions, including distress call, DSC, and
foghorn, are available. The COMMAND MIC-III may also be used as an
intercom with the IC-M504.
