Superior receiver performance
The IC-M603 has excellent receive specifications* which allows weak signals a better chance of being heard over engine or other background noise. The powerful 5.0W (typical) audio output from the front facing speaker further increases the audibility and quality of received calls.
* More than 75dB for intermodulation rejection, spurious response and adjacent channel selectivity, and –6dBµ (typical) high sensitivity.

Waterproof construction (1m depth for 30minutes)
The IC-M603, including the supplied microphone, withstands submersion in up to 1m depth of water for 30 minutes (equivalent to IPX7 waterproofing.*)

Built-in ITU Class-D DSC
No matter what channel you’re tuned to, a separate and independent receiver inside the IC-M603 continuously monitors Ch. 70. The 10 button keypad allows simple and efficient operation of the DSC emergency functions, vital for your safety at sea.

Position request and position report
Over and above the DSC, your own and other ships’ position data can be exchanged with the position request or position report functions. The received position information can be transferred to external GPS or navigation equipment*. In addition, the polling (request/ reply) function checks whether a specific ship is within the communications range.
* NMEA 0183 format is required.

Improved GPS information indication
When connecting to an external GPS receiver, the GPS information indication function shows course and speed data as well as position, date and time on the display.

High Resolution LCD with clear, easy to read characters
The large full dot-matrix display is designed for optimum readability in any lighting condition. With the extra large font, the channel number is maximised on the display and upper and lower case characters can be easily read.

Front and rear panel microphone connection
The speaker microphone can be detached from the front panel and can be connected to the rear panel without any modification. An optional 6.1m (20ft) microphone extension cable, OPC-1000 is available.

RX speaker function
The RX speaker function, “receiver-repeater” allows you to monitor the received radio audio from a hailer horn on the deck or tower. You can also make an announcement onboard from the microphone.
