Certified SOLAS and compliant with the EU Marine Equipment Directive (MED), bearing the \"wheel mark\", it is specifically intended for regulated commercial vessels operating on international voyages. This model is essential for maritime zones A2, A3, and A4, providing a robust and reliable solution for distress and safety communications at sea.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Performance and GMDSS Compliance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eBLU marine GMDSS GM800\u003c\/strong\u003e operates across extended frequency ranges: transmit from 1.6 to 27.5 MHz (ITU marine channels) and receive from 0.5 to 29.9999 MHz (continuous). Dedicated DSC frequencies include 2.1875, 4.2075, 6.3120, 8.4145, 12.5770, and 16.8045 MHz. It supports multiple transmission types: J3E (USB\/LSB), H3E (AM), J2B (AFSK), F1B (FSK), and A1A (CW) for transmit\/receive, and F1B for DSC. Its RF output power is 150 W PEP on 50 Ω at the radio terminal, with output powers of 125 W (4.0–27.5 MHz) and 85 W (1.6–3.999 MHz) at the coupler output. The required power supply is 24 V DC (21.6–31.2 V) with floating ground, integrating a 24 V DC-DC converter.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced DSC Features and User Interface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eBLU marine GMDSS GM800\u003c\/strong\u003e features a dedicated DSC watch receiver that rotates through the six distress channels. It can store up to 100 MMSI members with a 10-character identifier and offers a DSC multi-tasking function displaying up to seven DSC procedures. It can also send distress relay calls. The user interface is unified with that of the GM600 (VHF), simplifying operation. The 4.3-inch TFT LCD color screen offers a nearly 180-degree viewing angle, displaying high-resolution characters and function icons, with a night mode for optimal readability in low-light conditions. Its control panel is IPX7 certified for immersion to 1 meter for 30 minutes, ensuring durability in demanding maritime environments.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConnectivity, Audio, and Essential Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eBLU marine GMDSS GM800\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers 4 W audio power with an internal speaker (8 Ω) and 2 W with an external speaker (4 Ω), unlike the GM600 which delivers 10 W with an external speaker. It includes a remote distress alarm, a printer connector (Centronics IEEE1284), and an IEC 61162-1 interface for GNSS receivers, accepting input formats GGA, GNS, GLL, RMC, FSI and providing FSI, DSC, DSE outputs. For MED compliance, the AT-141 automatic antenna coupler is a mandatory accessory. Other accessories such as the HS-98 handset, HM-214H hand microphone (IPX7), SP-24E external speaker, and OPC-1465 shielded control cable are also available. The main unit measures 367 × 95 × 260 mm and weighs 8.6 kg, while the controller measures 274 × 114 × 86 mm and weighs 760 g.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICOM","offers":[{"title":"","offer_id":55718249922900,"sku":"GM800","price":6879.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/main_bfd95049-8bc9-4b83-9177-e413d50234e8.png?v=1778019353","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-us\/products\/blu-marine-gmdss-gm800","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
