ICOM IC-M804 tengeri BLU csomag

The IC-M804 marine BLU pack is an MF/HF (medium/high frequency) transceiver designed for long-distance maritime communications. It enables voice communications (SSB) and digital distress calls (DSC Class E), essential for safety and offshore navigation.

The IC-M804 transceiver offers a high output power of 125 W (PEP), ensuring extended communication range for marine applications.

The IC-M804 is equipped with a 4.3-inch TFT color LCD screen. This screen provides excellent visibility and an intuitive user interface to facilitate access to functions and information.

The main communication features of the IC-M804 include:

Single Side Band (SSB) voice communication for long-range use.Digital Selective Calling (DSC Class E) for distress and safety calls.An integrated GNSS receiver for location and DSC functions.

Yes, the IC-M804 is equipped with an integrated GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver. This allows it to determine its position accurately, which is essential for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functions and for sending distress messages.

The IC-M804 is certified to international standards for marine communication equipment, including:

ITU-R M.493-15 for Digital Selective Calling (DSC) systems. ETSI EN 300 338-4 Class E DSC, confirming compliance with European requirements for MF/HF DSC radios.

Yes, absolutely. As an MF/HF (medium/high frequency) transceiver, the IC-M804 is specifically designed for very long-range maritime communications, far beyond the range of VHF radios, making it ideal for offshore sailing.

The IC-M804 user interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, even at sea. It features a 4.3-inch TFT color LCD screen and a multifunction dial for quick and easy channel, menu, and setting selection.

The IC-M804 covers the following frequency bands:

Transmit (Tx): 1.6 MHz to 27.5 MHz (ITU maritime channels). Receive (Rx): 0.5 MHz to 29.999 MHz (general coverage).

Yes, to optimize transmission and reception performance of the IC-M804 across the different MF/HF frequency bands, it is strongly recommended to use an automatic antenna tuner. This device matches the antenna impedance to that of the transceiver to ensure maximum efficiency.

When wiring the IC-M804, several key points must be observed:

Use power cables with adequate cross-section to prevent voltage drops.Ensure a solid connection to the vessel’s ground for safety and performance.Protect all cables from interference and physical damage.Follow the installation manual instructions strictly for all connections (power, antenna, accessories).

Yes, the IC-M804 is compatible with maritime data communication systems. It supports NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 interfaces, enabling it to exchange information (such as GNSS position data) with other navigation and communication equipment onboard the vessel.

Yes, the IC-M804 has an audio output that allows connecting an external speaker. This can be useful to improve audio clarity in noisy environments or to route the sound to another area of the vessel.

Yes, thanks to its wide reception coverage (0.5 MHz to 29.999 MHz) and its MF/HF capabilities, the IC-M804 is perfectly suited to receive marine weather bulletins broadcast on the appropriate frequencies. It can also receive Maritime Safety Information (MSI) via the DSC system.

The IC-M804 is equipped with Class E DSC (Digital Selective Calling). In an emergency, it allows you to quickly send a digital distress call with position data (via the integrated GNSS) to other vessels and coastal stations. It can also receive and display distress calls from other units.
