VHF przenośna IC-M94DE

The IC-M94DE handheld VHF is the world’s first to integrate both an AIS receiver and Class H ASN (DSC) functionality. This unique combination, typically reserved for fixed VHF units, allows you to display surrounding maritime traffic and transmit geolocated distress calls, providing an unmatched level of safety for a handheld device.

The BP-306 battery has an autonomy of approximately 10 hours in standard use (5% transmit cycle, 5% receive, 90% standby). The full charge time is approximately 4 hours.

The built-in AIS receiver displays real-time information about maritime traffic around your position directly on the VHF screen. You can see other vessels equipped with an AIS transmitter, which significantly improves safety and situational awareness.

Yes, it is equipped with a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver that uses the GPS and GLONASS constellations. This ensures fast and accurate position acquisition for navigation functions, waypoints, and especially for ASN (DSC) distress calls.

The MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number, consisting of 9 digits, must be programmed by the user. Note: you can only enter this code once, during the initial commissioning of the device. It is therefore crucial not to make an error when entering it.

Yes, it is possible to connect an external watertight speaker microphone, such as the Icom HM-165 or HM-228 models. The VHF has a dedicated port for audio accessories.

The AquaQuake™ function emits a low-frequency vibration to expel water that may have entered the speaker grille after exposure to green water or immersion. This restores clear, unmuffled sound quickly.

Yes, thanks to its integrated GNSS receiver (GPS/GLONASS), you can record your current position or other points of interest such as waypoints. The device also features a simple navigation function to guide you to a selected waypoint.

The IC-M94DE VHF has standard watch functions to monitor multiple channels:

Dual watch: monitors channel 16 and one other channel of your choice. Triple watch: monitors channel 16, the calling channel (usually channel 9), and one other channel of your choice. It also features channel scanning (scan).

To recharge the VHF onboard, you can use the CP-25H cigarette lighter cable (sold separately) which plugs into a 12V DC socket on your boat.

The IC-M94DE uses a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery pack, model BP-306. It operates on a voltage of 7.2 V and has a typical capacity of 2400 mAh, providing excellent battery life.

The VHF is equipped with a high-contrast LCD screen and adjustable backlighting, designed to ensure good readability in various lighting conditions, including full sunlight.

The IC-M94DE is a multi-band receiver that covers:

Marine VHF channels (156.000–163.425 MHz)The dedicated ASN/DSC calling channel (156.525 MHz)The dedicated AIS channel (162.025 MHz)GPS (1575.42 MHz) and GLONASS satellite frequencies
