VHF Marine Transceiver M506 with AIS Receiver Combo and NMEA 2000 Connectivity - M506EURO-V27 - ICOM

Fixed Mount VHF and AIS Receiver Combo with NMEA 2000™ Connectivity

Integrated AIS Receiver

With an integrated AIS receiver, the IC-M506 can show real-time AIS vessel traffic information on the display. The AIS target call function allows you to easily set up a DSC individual call. The Plotter, Target list and Danger list can be toggled on the display.

NMEA 2000™ Connectivity

With the plug-and-play functionality of NMEA 2000, the IC-M506 can easily connect to a NMEA 2000 network. The ICM506 can receive and transmit GPS (position, course (COG) and speed (SOG)), AIS report and DSC call information data and transmit radio frequency and PGN list data on the network. Using this function, the IC-M506 can convert NMEA 0183 GPS data to NMEA 2000 data for other equipment.

Last Call Voice Recording

The last call voice recording function automatically saves the last two minutes of the last incoming call. You can replay the received call, and not miss any incoming call.

Active Noise Cancelling

Using digital signal processing technology, the built-in bidirectional active noise canceling provides superb performance. It reduces background noise to up to 90% in the received signal and 30% fixed in the transmitting signal. The function OFF setting is also possible.

Intuitive Menu-Driven User Interface

The intuitive software key functions provide easy and fast operation to control the multiple functions of the IC-M506. The bottom line of the dot-matrix display shows the software key functions which can be toggled with the left and right buttons.

25 W Two-Way Hailer

When connected to the optional horn speaker, SP-37, you can talk with crews on the deck or shore from the radio’s microphone and can hear any reply via the horn speaker. The RX hailer function allows you to monitor the received audio from the horn speaker. The built-in 25 W amplifier increases your talk power, making it loud and clear.

Built-in Horn (Automatic & Manual)

When connected to the optional horn speaker, SP-37, four horn patterns are selectable for the automatic horn function.

ITU Class D DSC (Meets ITU-R M493-14)

The built-in DSC watch function monitors Ch. 70 (DSC channel) activity, 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. Up to 100 DSC address IDs can be programmed.

GPS Receiver Built-in

A built-in GPS receiver with an external antenna provides your location, bearing and speed by using information from GPS and GLONASS. The acquired position information can be used for DSC calls

IPX8 Advanced Waterproof

The IC-M506GE and supplied HM-205B microphone can withstand 1m (3.2 ft) depth of water for 60 minutes.
