ITU Class D DSC built-in
IC-M505 has built-in class D DSC. DSC uses a unique ID (MMSI code) similar to a telephone number, allowing you to make contact with a specific boater or group of boaters in your area. In an emergency situation, a formatted distress call can be emitted at the touch of the “Distress” button.
Position Request and Position Report
Over 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 navigation equipment with NMEA data format. In addition, the polling (request/reply) function checks whether a specific ship is in the communication range.
* External GPS receiver and navigation equipment which accepts NMEA0183 are required.Optional COMMANDMICIII™
The optional COMMANDMICIII™ provides 2nd station capability to the IC-M505, convenient for use in the fly bridge or cabin. All functions of the M505, including DSC, distress call, fog horn, as well as normal transmission and reception are available from up to 18.3m (60ft) away.
