Intended for use in lifeboats, it is the ultimate communication tool when reliability is paramount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003e GMDSS compliance and professional-grade robustness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The GM1600E fully complies with the temperature, thermal shock, vibration, and drop resistance (from a height of 1 meter) requirements specified by the GMDSS standards. It is certified to IMO A.809 (19), A.694 (17), and IEC 61097-12. Its high-visibility yellow casing and IPX7 water resistance, guaranteeing protection against immersion at a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes, make it perfectly suited to the harshest marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003ch3\u003eRadio performance optimized for survival\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Unlike recreational handheld VHF radios that can reach 6W, the GM1600E operates at a power output of 2W (high) or 1W (low). This choice is deliberate to maximize battery life in an emergency. The superheterodyne double-conversion receiver ensures high sensitivity (0.25 μV typ. at 12 dB SINAD) for picking up even the weakest signals. The radio covers the transmit frequency range of 156.000 to 161.450 MHz and the receive frequency range of 156.000 to 163.425 MHz, including all international maritime channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Ergonomics and technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWith dimensions of 65 × 145 × 44 mm and a weight of 385 g (with the BP-234 battery), the GM1600E is designed for easy handling, even with gloves. The user interface is simplified for quick access to critical functions, including channel 16. It operates in a temperature range of -20°C to +55°C and is powered by a nominal voltage of 7.2 V DC. Its positioning is clear: where an ICOM IC-M94D offers convenience features like AIS and GPS, the GM1600E focuses exclusively on ruggedness and compliance for its survival mission.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICOM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53723852964180,"sku":"IC-GM1600E","price":589.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/vhf-portative-gm1600e-marine-gmdss_ic-gm1600e-1.jpg?v=1773354520","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en\/products\/icom-portable-vhf-gm1600e-marine-gmdss","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
