M505 - £410.00

Between the team here at The Bosun's Locker we've a wealth of experience on all things sea, and rarely do we agree on anything! There is one thing however, and that is that the Icom M505 is the best, most user-friendly fixed VHF any of us have ever used.

The new IC-M505 VHF/DSC marine transceiver is inspired by the design of the popular IC-M503E, and provides unrivalled features and performance.

The IC-M505 has an improved waterproof construction to IPX8: (1.5 meter/30 min). This gives it a waterproofing level greater than anything else currently in the market.

Stylish, ergonomic design The IC-M505 retains 4’ x 6’ dimensions while reducing case depth by 15.6mm. The IC-M505 features large buttons and knobs, which are ergonomically laid out for easy, user-friendly operation. They are also backlit for night time use.

When connected to a two-way hailer horn, communication with other boats and deck or dock hands is easy. The built-in amplifier increases talk power to 25W making your message loud and clear. Four fog horn patterns are available for the automatic fog horn, adding further to the safety of the vessel.

The IC-M505 has a built-in Ch 70 receiver, which monitors activity, even while you are receiving another channel. When in an emergency situation, an automated distress call can be sent with a touch of a button.

When connected to an external GPS receiver, the position request and position report functions allow you to exchange ship’s position information. Connected to a suitable GPS potter will allow a visual display of incoming DSC distress alert and position request.

The IC-M505 has a capability of up to 168- character full dot-matrix display that allows a variety of information such as GPS data and DSC emergency data etc. to be seen instantly and easily. With the backlit display, the large 10-keypad buttons and knobs, the IC-M505 is easy to operate.

The IC-M505 features a large speaker that can produce very loud and clear reception without requiring repetition of the message, even over engine or other background noise. The IC-M505 has excellent receiver performance and calls are remarkably clear and free from noise. The powerful audio output from the front facing speaker further increases the clarity of received calls.

The unique features and stunning design of the IC-M505 make it an ideal VHF/DSC for a variety of commercial and leisure users. These include motorboat & yacht owners, small commercial boats, fishing boats, HM Coast guard, marine police, small rescue organisations etc.
