Description
The Icom GM800 is a GMDSS MF/HF marine transceiver with Class A DSC, providing a complete GMDSS MF/HF communication system for commercial SOLAS regulated vessels. It meets the UK Marine Equipment Regulation (MER) Red Ensign mark and the European Marine Equipment Directive (MED) wheel mark, and works alongside the GM600 VHF radio to deliver a full VHF, MF and HF GMDSS radio station.
A dedicated DSC watch-keeping receiver continuously scans the six distress channels, the DSC Multitask function shows up to seven DSC procedures and the radio can send a distress relay call. The space-saving design pairs a waterproof remote head, which mounts neatly on the bridge, with a discreetly installed black box controller. A 4.3 inch wide viewing angle colour TFT LCD with directional keypad and soft keys keeps operation clear, while a built-in 24 V DC-DC converter, printer connector and IEC 61162-1 GNSS interface suit demanding commercial installations. The AT-141 antenna tuner must be used for MER/MED certification compliance.
