Detailed description

ICOM GM1600E sõidukivaba VHF on eluohtlike olukordade sidevahend, mis vastab Rangeeritud Meretrahvi ja Ohutuse Süsteemi (GMDSS) rangedale nõuetele. Mõeldud päästepaatide jaoks, see on viimane sidevahend, kui usaldusväärsus pole läbi mõelda.

GMDSS vastavus ja professionaalse taseme vastupidavus

GM1600E vastab täielikult GMDSS nõuetele temperatuuri, soojusliku šoki, vibratsiooni ja vastupidavuse osas langekujudele (1 meetri kõrguselt). See on sertifitseeritud IMO A.809 (19), A.694 (17) ja IEC 61097-12 järgi. Kollane kõrge nähtavuse korpus ja IPX7 veekindlus (kaitse 1 meetri sügavusel 30 minutit) teevad sellest seadme, mis sobib kõige vaenulikemate mereolude jaoks.

Raadiotehnilised näitajad ellujäämiseks optimeeritud

Erinevalt puhkpõhjalistest sõidukivabast VHF-st, mis võib saavutada 6W, töötab GM1600E 2W (kõrge) või 1W (madal) väljundvõimsusega. See valik on teadlikult tehtud, et maksimeerida akupatarei tööpäevust hädaolukorras. Topeltmuundusega superheterodüün vastuvõtja tagab kõrge tundlikkuse (0,25 μV tüüpiline 12 dB SINAD juures) nõrkade signaalide püüdmiseks. Raadio katab 156,000–161,450 MHz edastus- ja 156,000–163,425 MHz vastuvõtuala, hõlmates kõiki rahvusvahelisi merekanaleid.

Ergonoomika ja tehnilised andmed

Mõõtmetega 65 × 145 × 44 mm ja kaaluga 385 g (akuga BP-234), on GM1600E disainitud lihtsaks kasutamiseks ka kindaga. Kasutajaliides on lihtsustatud kiireks juurdepääsuks kriitilistele funktsioonidele, sealhulgas kanalile 16. Seade töötab temperatuurivahemikus -20°C kuni +55°C ja seda toidetakse 7,2 V alalisvooluga. Tema positsioneerimine on selge: kui ICOM IC-M94D pakub mugavusfunktsioone nagu AIS ja GPS, siis GM1600E keskendub ainult vastupidavusele ja vastavusele ellujäämise missiooni jaoks.

« The GMDSS reference for survival situations »

The ICOM GM1600E VHF is not a recreational radio; it is a certified survival instrument. Its design meets the extremely rigorous GMDSS specifications, where every component is tested to withstand the harshest conditions: drops, vibrations, thermal shocks. Its interface is deliberately minimalist to ensure flawless operation under stress, even with gloves. The 2W transmission power is a standard feature for this type of equipment, designed to maximize battery life—a critical factor in distress situations. This is the reference equipment for commercial fleets and offshore navigators subject to SOLAS regulations, for whom compliance and absolute reliability take precedence over all other considerations.

Frequently asked questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the primary use of the ICOM GM1600E handheld VHF?

The ICOM GM1600E VHF is specifically designed as a survival communication device for distress situations at sea. It meets the strict requirements of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and is intended for use in lifeboats and life rafts.

Why is the transmission power 2W, while other VHFs go higher?

The output power is deliberately limited to 2 Watts (high) and 1 Watt (low) to comply with GMDSS requirements. This power level is optimized to maximize battery life in a survival situation, where communication duration is more critical than maximum range.

Can an external microphone or speaker be connected?

Yes, the VHF is equipped with an accessory port [MIC/SP] that allows connection of a remote microphone-speaker or other compatible audio accessories.

How to switch between high and low transmission power?

You can change the transmission power by pressing the [HI/LO] button. A "LOW" indicator appears on the screen when low power (1W) is selected. No indication is displayed for high power (2W).

What is the reception system used by the GM1600E?

The VHF uses a high-quality superheterodyne dual-conversion reception system, ensuring excellent sensitivity and selectivity to pick up weak signals.

Is a lanyard supplied with the VHF?

Yes, in compliance with regulations for life-saving equipment, a neck lanyard is supplied with the GM1600E VHF to keep it securely attached to the user.

What is the audio power of the speaker?

The VHF’s internal speaker delivers an audio power of 0.20 Watt into an 8 Ω load, sufficient for clear listening in noisy environments.

Is the antenna removable?

Yes, the VHF GM1600E is fitted with a standard 50 Ω antenna connector, meaning the antenna is removable. You can unscrew it for storage or replace it if needed.

What is the audio output power of the speaker?

The internal speaker of the GM1600E VHF radio delivers an audio output power of 0.20 W with an 8 Ω load, ensuring clear listening of received communications.

What is the MONI (monitor) function used for?

The MONI (monitor) function, activated via the [SQL•MONI] key, temporarily opens the squelch. This is useful for listening to very weak transmissions that may fall below the squelch trigger threshold, ensuring no important communication is missed.
