Detailed description

ICOM GM1600E nešiojamoji VHF yra gyvybiškai svarbus ryšio įrenginys, sukurtas atitikti griežtus Pasaulinės jūrinės gelbėjimo ir saugos sistemos (GMDSS) reikalavimus. Skirta gelbėjimo laiveliams, ji yra pagrindinis ryšio įrankis, kai patikimumas yra nekompromisiniu.

GMDSS atitikimas ir profesionalaus lygio tvirtumas

GM1600E visiškai atitinka GMDSS standartų keliamus temperatūros, šiluminio smūgio, vibracijos ir atsparumo kritimui (iš 1 metro aukščio) reikalavimus. Ji sertifikuota pagal IMO A.809 (19), A.694 (17) ir IEC 61097-12 normas. Ryškiai geltonas, gerai matomas korpusas ir IPX7 įšvėimas, užtikrinantis apsaugą nuo 1 metro gylio panardinimo 30 minučių, daro šį įrenginį idealiai tinkamą pačioms atšiauriausioms jūrinėms sąlygoms.

Optimalios radijo ryšio charakteristikos gelbėjimui

Skirtas pramoginių laivų nešiojamoms VHF, kurios gali pasiekti 6W, GM1600E veikia 2W (aukšta) arba 1W (žema) galia. Šis pasirinkimas yra sąmoningas, siekiant maksimaliai pailginti baterijos veikimo laiką avarinėje situacijoje. Dvigubos konversijos superheterodininis imtuvas užtikrina didelį jautrumą (0.25 μV tipiškai 12 dB SINAD), kad būtų galima priimti silpniausius signalus. Radijo dažnių diapazonas: siuntimas 156.000–161.450 MHz, priėmimas 156.000–163.425 MHz, įskaitant visus tarptautinius jūrininkystės kanalus.

Ergonomika ir techninės charakteristikos

Su matmenimis 65 × 145 × 44 mm ir svoriu 385 g (su baterija BP-234), GM1600E sukurta taip, kad būtų lengvai valdoma net su pirštinėmis. Naudotojo sąsaja supaprastinta, kad būtų galima greitai pasiekti kritines funkcijas, ypač 16 kanalą. Įrenginys veikia temperatūrose nuo -20°C iki +55°C ir maitinamas 7.2 V DC nominalia įtampa. Jo paskirtis aiški: kai ICOM IC-M94D siūlo papildomas funkcijas kaip AIS ir GPS, GM1600E koncentruojasi išimtinai į tvirtumą ir atitikimą gelbėjimo misijai.

« The GMDSS reference for survival situations »

The ICOM GM1600E VHF is not a recreational radio; it is a certified survival instrument. Its design adheres to an extremely rigorous GMDSS specification, 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 transmit 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, where 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 transmit power 2W, while other VHF sets go higher?

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 transmit power?

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

What is the reception system used by the GM1600E?

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

Is a lanyard provided with the VHF?

Yes, in compliance with safety equipment regulations, a neck lanyard is provided 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 GM1600E VHF is fitted with a standard 50 Ω antenna connector, meaning the antenna is removable. You can unscrew it for storage or replace it if necessary.

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 purpose of the monitor (MONI) function?

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