Icom M510 VHF Bundle with CT-M500

Fixed Mount VHF with Wireless Smart Device Operation

Icom’s new Class D DSC fixed mount VHF marine transceiver, the M510 is a tech-laden powerhouse . The M510 is nearly half the depth of the M506, allowing installation in more confined spaces. The large color display has a simple user interface allowing casual and serious boaters alike with plenty of options to communicate. Additionally, command and control using iOS® and Android™ smart devices with class leading features such as wireless calling.

Output Power:		25W
Waterproof Rating:		IP68
Hailer:		Optional with CT-M500
Horn/Foghorn:		Optional
GPS:		Built-in
WLAN:		Built-in
NMEA:		NMEA 0183/-HS Built-in, NMEA 2000™ optional with CT-M500

Large Color Display

The M510 includes a full color 3.5" TFT LCD screen with a near 180-degree viewing angles. The standard marine user interface is enhanced with animated functions and night mode for optimal viewing in the dark.

Command and Control

The RS-M500 app allows you to connect three iOS® or Android™ smart devices to function as a wireless command speaker/microphone. Use the push-to-talk features, scroll/scan channels, as well as use the M510’s intercom function from the comfort of the captain’s seat. Additionally, one COMMANDMIC™ can connect while 3 other smart devices are linked.

CT-M500 Wireless Interface w/NMEA 2000™

Connect to NMEA 2000 with the optional CT-M500 wireless interface box. If the NMEA connection is on a different part of the boat, the CT-M500 can wirelessly connect with the M510, providing flexibility on placement. Additionally, with the optional SP-37 horn speaker, the CT-M500 can access the two-way hailer/PA functions.
