ICOM GM651 KLASSE A DSC VHF (12/24V VERSION)

Icom is pleased to launch the new IC-GM651 VHF/DSC marine transceiver which meets ITU Class A DSC requirements and European MED 96/98/EC “Wheel mark” approval. Together with Icom's IC-M801GMDSS MF/HF radio and IC-GM1600E survival craft handheld radio, Icom now provides a full GMDSS radio line-up for the commercial marine market place. Meets GMDSS requirements The IC-GM651 is designed for Class A DSC operation. The IC-GM651 provides a complete GMDSS VHF communication system as required for Commercial SOLAS regulated vessels engaging in international voyages. The radio also meets MED 96/98/EC, “wheel mark” approval for European merchant ships. For use as MED equipment, the PS-250 DC-DC power Supply is required. Built-in ITU Class A DSC An independent DSC receiver constantly watches “CH 70” VHF DSC channel, while using another channel. The class A DSC not only emits distress signal, but also relays received distress signal to a coast station.

 

A total of 100 MMSI IDs can be stored with a 10-character name. PS-250 DC-DC power supply The PS-250 DC-DC power supply accepts a 12V/24V DC (10.8–31.2V DC) power source and provides floating ground connection. With the optional PS-240 AC-DC power supply unit, 85–264V AC power source can be connected to the PS-250. When connected to a lead acid storage battery, the PS-240 automatically switches to the battery if the AC power source fails.
