Icom has created one of the smallest fixed VHF/DSC radios in the world with a front face so compact that it matches the size of a modern smartphone.
The combination of directional keypad and soft keys provides a simple and smooth operation. The most-used functions are assigned to soft keys for quick one-push function access.
The newly designed speaker offers distortion-free and clear audio, even when it's at full volume. It will provide dynamic and clear audio over a wide bass and treble range.
The radio will also monitor 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.
The 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.
