Submersible PLUS (1.5m depth for 30 minutes)
The IC-M504/M505 withstands submersion in up to 1.5m depth of water for 30 minutes. It is equivalent to the IPX8 standard.
ITU Class D DSC built-in
The IC-M504/M505 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 if the need arises.
Large LCD with dot-matrix characters
The IC-M504/M505 has a 168-character, full-dot matrix display that allows you to easily view a variety of information, such as GPS data, DSC emergency data, etc. It is same size as the ICM602/M601 display. The large buttons and knobs provide user friendly operation.
Position Request and Position Report
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 communication range.
* External GPS receiver and navigation equipment which accepts NMEA 0183 format is required.
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.
4x6-inch flush mount body
The IC-M504/M505 stays with the popular 4-inch (110 mm) tall design. When used with the ICM802 or M801E HF/MF marine transceiver, a complete communications station can be neatly installed in the instrument panel.
Superior receiver performance
The IC-M504 has 0.22µV (typical) superior sensitivity. The IC-M504 has class-leading superior receiver performance for sensitivity, adjacent channel selectivity, intermodulation and spurious response.
Excellent audio output power
The extra large speaker is mounted into a well-spaced housing, producing greater sound than the specified 4.5W (typical)* output power. You can get clear and loud reception without requiring repetition of the message, even over the engine or other background noise.
