ICOM IC-GM1600E

Stay Safe with the GM600 GMDSS VHF RadioThe GM600 is a GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) VHF radiotelephone that meets the requirements of SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) and national maritime regulations. When combined with the optional GM800 MF/HF radio, the GM600 provides a complete GMDSS radio station for VHF, MF, and HF frequencies.Built to Last in Harsh Marine EnvironmentsThe GM600 is designed to withstand the rigors of the marine environment. Its rugged construction and corrosion-resistant coating on the back panel ensure long life. The front panel is IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can be submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.Automated Distress and Safety CommunicationThe built-in Class A DSC provides automated distress and safety communication. The dedicated DSC watch receiver continuously monitors the DSC calling channel (Channel 70). Up to 100 MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) numbers for DSC calls (75 individual IDs and 25 group IDs) can be stored with 10-character ID names. The DSC Task mode provides straightforward DSC operation.Large Color Display for Optimal VisibilityThe 4.3-inch TFT color display offers a wide viewing angle of almost 180 degrees and displays high-resolution characters and function icons. This allows for easy viewing of information from various angles, even when the radio is installed below deck. The night mode display ensures good readability in dark conditions.Exceptional Sound QualityThe GM600's internal speaker delivers clear and intelligible audio. With a new waterproof paper cone, the speaker provides superior sound quality with a wide frequency range and flat frequency response. Additionally, the radio delivers powerful 10W audio output when connected to an external speaker.Intuitive User InterfaceA combination of directional keypad and soft keys provides simple operation. The 12 main functions are assigned to soft keys (at the bottom of the display) and can be selected using the arrow keys. The clearly labeled keypad allows for direct input of information. The CH16 key provides quick access to Channel 16, the international emergency channel.Stable Power SupplyThe optional PS-310 DC-DC converter provides a stable 12.6V power supply to the GM600 from either a 12V or 24V power source (depending on version) and offers floating ground. The PS-310 protects the radio from momentary power interruptions. The PS-310 is required for MED (Marine Equipment Directive) certification.Additional FeaturesIEC 61162-1 interface for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiverSupports new four-digit marine channels effective from January 1, 2017: 1078, 2078, 1019, 2019, 1079, 2079, 1020, and 2020Scope of delivery:Hand-held microphone HM-214VMounting bracketPower supply cableAttention: Meets the GMDSS requirements for SOLAS vessels and complies with the MED “Wheelmark” requirements when using the optional DC-DC converter PS-310 (#11 or #12)!

The Icom GM800 is a rugged and reliable MF/HF marine transceiver specifically designed for the demanding requirements of commercial vessels engaged in international voyages. It is packed with advanced features to ensure safe and effective communication at sea, even in the harshest environments.Unmatched Safety and ComplianceMeets SOLAS and MED Requirements: The GM800 complies with the stringent standards of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), fulfilling SOLAS requirements for SOLAS-regulated commercial vessels. It also adheres to the MED ("Wheel Mark") directives for European merchant ships.Integrated Class A DSC: Featuring a dedicated DSC watch receiver, the GM800 continuously monitors the six distress channels. It can store up to 100 MMSI members with 10-character ID names. The DSC multitasking function clearly displays up to seven DSC procedures simultaneously. In case of an emergency, the GM800 can even relay a distress call.Bridge Alert Management (BAM): This function allows the bridge crew to focus entirely on safe vessel operation while immediately identifying any critical alert situations. The GM800 can be connected to the central alarm system (CAM) and transfer BAM messages via the IEC 61162-1 interface.Exceptional Clarity and Visibility4.3-inch Wide Viewing Angle Color Display: The large color TFT LCD provides high-resolution characters and function icons, ensuring clear visibility from almost any viewing angle, even when mounted flush on the instrument panel. A night mode display further enhances readability in low-light conditions.Superior Audio QualityWaterproof Speaker: Utilizing a new waterproof paper cone design, the speaker delivers outstanding sound quality with a wide frequency range for clear and intelligible communication.Intuitive Operation and Unified DesignUnified User Interface: The GM800 shares a common design concept with the GM600 VHF radio, offering a consistent and user-friendly experience. A combination of directional keypad and soft keys provides straightforward operation. Frequently used functions are assigned to soft keys at the bottom of the display for quick one-touch access, while the large ten-key pad facilitates easy input of channel numbers, MMSI numbers with ID names, and other information.Comprehensive Features for Enhanced FunctionalityRemote Distress AlarmPrinter Connection (Centronics IEEE1284)IEC 61162-1 Interface for GNSS ReceiverHigh Output Power: 150 W* PEP into 50 Ω (at radio terminal)Built-in 24V DC-DC Converter125 W (4.0–27.5 MHz) (at tuner output), 85 W (1.6–3.999 MHz) (at tuner output)The Icom GM800 stands as a testament to Icom's commitment to providing reliable and innovative marine communication solutions.
