The Icom GM600 is a commercial GMDSS Class A DSC VHF marine transceiver manufactured by Icom Inc. in Japan. Engineered to comply with SOLAS requirements and the European Marine Equipment Directive (MED “Wheelmark”), the GM600 serves as a primary VHF voice communication and distress-alerting terminal on merchant ships, workboats, and high-seas commercial vessels.

Featuring a 4.3-inch color TFT LCD, the transceiver offers clear readability from wide viewing angles and includes a high-contrast night mode to preserve officer vision on dark bridges. It incorporates an independent, dedicated DSC receiver that continuously monitors Channel 70, ensuring immediate reception of distress, urgency, and safety calls without interrupting primary voice channels.

Key Features:
• GMDSS Class A DSC Certified: Fully meets ITU-R M.493-13 Class A DSC standards and MED 2014/90/EU Wheelmark certification for SOLAS vessels.
• 4.3-Inch Color TFT Display: Daylight-readable screen with intuitive soft-key menu navigation and night mode display setting.
• Independent CH70 DSC Receiver: Dedicated internal receiver monitors Channel 70 continuously for automated distress call processing.
• 10W High-Clarity Audio: Delivers powerful, intelligible audio when connected to an external speaker (such as the Icom SP-35) to cut through engine and ambient noise.
• Flexible Power Options: Operates on 12V or 24V DC shipboard power networks when paired with the PS-310 DC-DC power supply unit.
