ICOM IC-M421

VHF Marine Transceiver

One Powerful, Compact Class D DSC Radio

ICOM IC-M421

Built-in Class D DSC.

The IC-M421 has a built-in Ch 70 (DSC channel) receiver, which monitors
Ch 70 activity, even while you are receiving another channel.
In an emergency situation, an automated distress call can be sent at
the touch of a button.

Digital selective calling features.

The DSC uses a unique ID (MMSI code) similar to a telephone number. So you can make a contact with the intended ID station or group directly or with al ships in the area. When connected to an external GPS receiver, the position request and position report functions allow you to exchange the ship’s information. The polling (request/reply) function checks whether a specific ship is in the communication range. A total of 100 address IDs can be programmed with 10-character address name and up to 40 received DSC messages are stored.

(20 distress and 20 other calls)

Large LCD with Dot-matrix Characters.

The IC-M421 has a full dot-matrix display with up to 168-character capability that allows you to see a host of information such as channel number, channel name, position and DSC data etc. With the backlit display, large buttons and knobs, the IC-M421 is easy to operate, even at night.
