Icom UK to showcase IC-GM600 and IC-GM800 transceivers at Seawork

The commercial marine and workboat event, taking place between 14 and 16 June at Mayflower Park in Southampton, will give those attending a chance to see Icom's forthcoming transceivers – built to the Class A DSC technical standard and satisfying Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) requirements for SOLAS regulated commercial vessels engaging in international voyage.

Both radios also feature a user interface and a 4.3-inch colour LCD with day and night mode operation. Icom's new IC-M93D handheld radio is Class D DSC compliant and features Float'n Flash technology, a bright internal red LED that automatically flashes when it comes into contact with water, and a built-in GPS.

Enhanced audio functions include voice recording and playback, 700mW loud audio, and active noise cancelling. All three radios will also be officially launched at a later date. Also on show will be Icom’s IP Advanced Radio System. This provides full hands free duplex two-way radio communication over an existing or new IP/WLAN network, even at sea on Super Yachts, cruise ships or cargo vessels.
