An entry-level marine VHF transceiver has been released.
The transceiver, the IC-M411, completes Icom’s range of marine communication products, with the company now having a marine product to suit the budget of any boating enthusiast.
The transceiver has a strong IPX7 design, meaning the unit is waterproof to a depth of 1 m for 30 minutes. Class-D DSC is also featured.
Other features include the AquaQuake draining function, which emits a buzzing noise to clear water from the speaker, favourite channel function and dual/tri-watch functions.
The unit can also be connected to the MXA-5000 AIS (automatic identification system) receiver, allowing on-screen visual marine safety with a compatible chart plotter.
