Pack BLU marin IC-M803

The IC-M803 marine HF SSB transceiver is a single sideband (SSB) marine radio transceiver, also known as MF/HF or SSB (Single Side Band). It is designed for long-distance maritime communications, allowing sailors to establish voice and data contacts well beyond VHF radio range.

It is particularly useful for offshore passages and areas where VHF coverage is unavailable.

The IC-M803 is equipped with a 4.3-inch TFT LCD color screen. This display offers excellent readability and features day and night modes to adapt to varying lighting conditions at sea.

Yes, the IC-M803 integrates Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Class E. This function allows sending distress calls with GPS coordinates, individual or group calls, and sharing position with other DSC-equipped vessels.

Yes, the IC-M803 is equipped with an integrated GPS receiver that supports GPS, GLONASS, and SBAS systems. A GPS antenna is included in the package to ensure precise positioning signal reception.

The IC-M803 is equipped with a digital noise reduction system (DSP) that improves communication clarity by reducing ambient noise. It also features a voice recording function to replay incoming calls.

Yes, the IC-M803 integrates a voice recording function that allows you to record incoming calls. This function is useful for reviewing important information or missed messages.

The IC-M803 operates on MF/HF (Medium Frequency/High Frequency) and SSB (Single Side Band) frequencies. It allows transmission from 1.6 to 27.5 MHz and reception from 0.5 to 29.999 MHz, covering all ITU international channels.

The large rotating dial of the IC-M803 is designed for quick and intuitive selection of channels, frequencies, and menu options. It provides easy handling even in harsh marine conditions.

Yes, the IC-M803's 4.3-inch TFT LCD color display has day and night display modes. The night mode reduces brightness and adjusts colors to minimize eye strain and preserve night vision.

Yes, thanks to its Class E DSC function and integrated GPS receiver, the IC-M803 is an essential tool for distress communications at sea. It allows you to quickly send a distress call with precise position coordinates to coastal stations and nearby vessels.

The IC-M803 display has a 4.3-inch diagonal. For the exact dimensions of the control unit and main unit, consult the product’s detailed user manual.

The IC-M803 offers two main mounting options for its control unit:

Flush mount: The control unit can be integrated directly into a dashboard. Bracket mount: The control unit can be secured using the supplied mounting bracket, allowing installation on a flat surface.

Yes, to achieve the best transmission and reception performance with an HF radio such as the IC-M803, it is strongly recommended to use an automatic antenna tuner (for example, an Icom AT-140). The antenna tuner adjusts the antenna impedance to match that of the radio for maximum efficiency.

The external GPS antenna supplied with the IC-M803 connects to the main unit via a coaxial cable and a specific connector. It is important to mount the antenna in a clear, unobstructed location to ensure optimal reception of satellite signals.

Yes, the IC-M803 has a dedicated audio output for connecting an external speaker. This can be useful for improving sound clarity or listening to communications from another location aboard the vessel.

Yes, the IC-M803 is designed to integrate seamlessly with other Icom equipment, including automatic antenna tuners like the AT-140, which are specifically built to work with Icom HF radios to optimize antenna performance.
