If in an emergency situation, press the large independent Distress button to send an automated digital Distress signal. The digital distress signal with GPS coordinates calls for help from other ships or coast stations.
All functions of the Icom M605 VHF Marine Radio (including DSC and distress operation) can be remotely controlled with up to three controllers, RC-M600 COMMAND HEAD and/or HM-195 series COMMANDMIC, with an intercom function available among the main radio and controllers.
The Icom M423G Fixed Mount Marine VHF Radio is an enhanced version of the M423 fixed mount VHF/DSC and includes an integrated GPS Receiver, which allows current position and time to be used for DSC calls.
With the integrated AIS receiver, vessel traffic information is shown on the display. The AIS target call function allows you to easily set up a DSC individual call. Distress calls can be made with the rear panel button.
