Detailed description

Technical specifications of the Icom IC-M510E EVO VHF

The Icom IC-M510E EVO fixed marine VHF is a Class D DSC transceiver measuring 175 x 110 x 53 mm and weighing 750 g. Its shallow 5.3 cm mounting depth allows flush installation on modern consoles. It operates on a transmit frequency range of 156.025 to 157.425 MHz and a receive frequency range of 156.050 to 163.275 MHz, with selectable output power of 1 W or 25 W. This model features an integrated GNSS receiver with an antenna built into the housing, while retaining connectivity for an optional external UX-241 antenna. The entire front panel and chassis meet IP68 waterproofing standards, ensuring resistance to immersion under 1 meter of water for 60 minutes.

Positioning within the product range and network connectivity

Unlike the IC-M510EAIS EVO model in the same range, which includes a native AIS receiver, this standard IC-M510E EVO version focuses solely on communication functions. This positioning makes it specifically suitable for vessels already equipped with an independent AIS transponder or a multiplexed network. The EVO designation reflects the technical evolution of this series through native integration of the NMEA 2000 protocol, in addition to NMEA 0183. The integrated WiFi module (WLAN) supports simultaneous connection of up to three mobile devices via the free RS-M500 app (iOS and Android). This interface turns a smartphone into a wireless microphone, remote control, and enables intercom functionality between the VHF and the phone. The device can also be operated from the optional wired remote station HM-195GB.

Audio functions, display, and navigation

The user interface is based on a color TFT LCD screen with a viewing angle of nearly 180 degrees, complemented by a dedicated night mode and white backlit buttons. The embedded computer system offers simplified navigation capable of guiding the vessel to 100 waypoints. Sound reproduction uses an internal 15 W waterproof speaker with active noise reduction (Active Noise Cancelling) that digitally filters background noise during both transmission and reception. Water drainage from the speaker grille is handled by the AquaQuake function through low-frequency emission. Finally, the radio includes a 25 W amplifier for bidirectional hailer function (Two-Way Hailer) and 20 W in receive mode (RX Hailer), enabling automated fog horn signals when connected to an external SP-37 speaker.

Expert opinion

« The reference connected VHF with AIS and Wi-Fi for centralized safety »

The ICOM IC-M510E EVO VHF radio sets itself apart as a true modern communication hub for recreational and commercial vessels. The integration of an autonomous AIS receiver and an internal GPS significantly simplifies the onboard network architecture, reducing the need for dedicated antennas and external modules. Its standout feature is its hybrid connectivity: the NMEA 2000 port ensures reliable and rapid transmission of AIS targets and position data to multifunction displays, while the integrated Wi-Fi module allows remote control of the VHF via the RS-M500 app on a smartphone, offering unprecedented navigation flexibility. With its IP68 certification and powerful 15W audio amplifier handling the public address system and fog horn, it is an uncompromising safety device designed to withstand the harshest maritime conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Is this VHF waterproof?

Yes, the IC-M510E EVO VHF complies with IP68 waterproofing standards, meaning it is protected against prolonged immersion according to defined specifications.

Does the ICOM IC-M510E EVO VHF radio include a GPS receiver?

Yes, this unit includes its own GPS receiver. It is SBAS-compatible and receives on 1575.42 MHz for precise positioning.

Does this model have an integrated AIS receiver?

No, the standard IC-M510E EVO version does not include an integrated AIS receiver. This feature is exclusive to the IC-M510EAIS EVO version. It allows you to display nearby AIS targets directly on the VHF screen or transmit them to a compatible multifunction display.

How can I connect this VHF to my onboard network?

You can integrate the IC-M510E EVO VHF into your navigation system in several ways:

NMEA 2000: For a modern and simple connection with other compatible devices.NMEA 0183: For compatibility with equipment (version 2.0 or higher required).Wi-Fi: For wireless connection to devices such as smartphones or tablets.

What is the transmission power of this VHF?

The IC-M510E EVO VHF offers two selectable transmission power levels:

High power: 25 WattsLow power: 1 Watt

Can I remotely control the VHF from my tablet or smartphone?

Yes, thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi connectivity (IEEE802.11 b/g/n), you can remotely control the VHF using the RS-M500 software application on your compatible mobile device.

What power supply voltage does this device require?

The IC-M510E EVO VHF radio must be powered by a 12 V DC source with a negative ground. The accepted operating voltage range is 10.8 V to 15.6 V DC.
