IC-M510 VHF Marine Transceiver | Class-D DSC

The IC-M510 Class-D DSC VHF Marine Transceiver combines advanced communication and navigation features in a compact, easy-to-install design. With built-in Wi-Fi, it can be remotely controlled using the RS-M500 app on up to three smart devices, which can function as wireless microphones or controllers with intercom capability. Its integrated AIS receiver (or external AIS input) displays real-time vessel traffic and allows direct DSC calls to selected targets. The high-resolution color TFT LCD offers a wide viewing angle, clear visibility in all conditions, and a night mode for low-light operation, while the slim profile supports flexible mounting options.

Designed for both performance and convenience, the IC-M510 includes navigation functions with up to 100 programmable waypoints and a powerful waterproof speaker that delivers clear, wide-range audio. Additional expandability is available through optional accessories, including the CT-M500 wireless interface box for NMEA 2000 connectivity and two-way hailer/PA functionality, and compatibility with the MA-510TR AIS transponder for simplified DSC calling without manual MMSI entry.
