Long Range Communications
Beyond the Horizon
The IC-M803 is designed
to be a companion to our
VHF transceiver IC-M605.
The front panel layout, colour TFT display and user interface
are similar to each other. Take advantage of the shared
functionality to complete your communications needs.
Distress Button for Emergency
If in an emergency situation, press the large
independent Distress button to send an
automated digital Distress signal. The digital
distress signal with GPS coordinates calls for
help from other ships or coast stations.
4.3 inch Wide Viewing Angle Color TFT Display
The 4.3 inch color TFT display provides an almost 180 degree
very wide viewing angle and displays high resolution characters
and function icons. You can clearly see the display information
from various viewing angles. So the radio can be installed
without choosing the installation place. The night mode display
ensures good readability in low light conditions.
Built-in DSC Watch-Keeping Receiver
with the Multiple Task Mode
The dedicated DSC watch-keeping receiver continuously scans
the six distress channels in rotation. A total of 100 MMSI numbers
(75 Individuals and 25 Groups) for DSC calls can be stored with
a 10-character ID name. When you receive a DSC call, while
you are in process with another DSC call, the IC-M803 can hold
both DSC procedures to switch between the DSC calls with the
Multiple Task Mode function
Integrated GPS Receiver
The GPS receiver which includes GPS, GLONASS and SBAS
function, is integrated into the IC-M803. Your position data,
course, speed and UTC data can be
received with a simple connection
to the supplied GPS antenna. The
position data can be output from the
NMEA 0183 port for use with other
devices.
Intuitive User Interface
A combination of the large main dial and software keys at the
bottom of the display provides simple operation and easy
access to often-used functions. You can smoothly
enter channel numbers, MMSI numbers, and vessel names with the alpha-numeric
keypad. In addition, one of the software key
functions can be assigned to the microphone’s
programmable button for quick access
