iCom IC-M400BB Black Box VHF with DSC and Command Mic

The iCom IC-M400BB black box marine vhf radio can be installed out of sight, which is important, where space is at a premium or for example on ribs and power boats.

The radio is then controlled by the Icom HM-195 Command Mic which is easy to use with a new intuitive user interface. The HM-195 fist mic allows operation of all radio functions including DSC, radio, foghorn, hailer horn from the cockpit or fly bridge.

More Detailed Info

Active Noise Cancelling Technology

The built-in bidirectional active noise canceller reduces background noise to up to 90% and improves both your transmitted voice and incoming calls.

10W Loud Audio, Public Address and Foghorn

A built-in 10W amplifier that increases the audio output from an additional external speaker (not included). The public address function allows you to make an announcement from the microphone like a loud speaker, and the foghorn can also be emitted from the external speaker.

Built-in Class D DSC

The IC-M400BB vhf radio meets the latest Class D regulation (ITU-R M493-13 and EN 300 338-3). The built-in DSC watch function monitors Ch. 70 (DSC channel) activity, even while you are receiving another channel. The DSC 'Distress' button is easy to access from the back of the CommandMic.

NMEA 0183 Input /Output for Common GPS/NAV Interface

When connected to an external GPS receiver, current position and time are shown on the CommandMic display. When receiving position information from another vessel, the radio can transfer it to a navigational device via NMEA 0183 connectivity.

AIS Target Call with MA-500TR

The IC-M400BB can be integrated with the MA-500TR Class B AIS Transponder allowing you to transmit DSC individual calls to a selected vessel instantly without manual MMSI entry.

MarineCommander Compatible

When connected to the MarineCommander, the received DSC message pops up on the multi-function display.

IPX7 Waterproof Protection (1.0m depth for 30 minutes)

The IC-M400BB and HM-195B/SW withstand submersion in up to 1.0m depth of water for 30 minutes.
