The ICOM IC-M510BB is a new VHF marine radio that’s full of features to keep you safe and connected while on the water. It’s the smart choice for boat enthusiasts who want radio comms that are both powerful and easy to use.

Modular Design

One of the most impressive features of the IC-M510BB is its modular design. The radio itself is a small black box that can be installed out of sight, freeing up helm space. The radio controls are located on a remote-control microphone, which can be placed anywhere on your boat. This makes it easy to communicate with other vessels, even if you’re not at the helm.

The remote-control microphone is waterproof, therefore you can use it even in the harshest of conditions. It also has a built-in speaker, which means you can hear radio transmissions without having to hold the microphone up to your ear.

Built-in AIS Receiver

The Icom IC-M510BB radio comms device also has a built in AIS receiver, which can display both the position, along with other critical information of nearby vessels. This is a great safety feature, as it allows you to see where other boats are, potentially avoiding collisions while on the water.

The AIS receiver also has a number of other features, such as the ability to track other vessels’ movements, and to receive distress signals. This makes it a valuable tool for both safety and situational awareness.

Built-in GPS

The IC-M510BB also has a built-in GPS, therefore you always know your position on the water. This is an imperative feature, as it allows you to easily find your way back to your home port, or to a specific location.

The GPS also has a number of other features, such as the ability to track your speed and course, creating navigational waypoints.

Weather Forecast Function

The IC-M510BB also has a weather forecast function, therefore you can stay up to date with the latest weather conditions. This is a valuable safety feature, as it allows you to make informed decisions about your voyage.

The weather forecast function also has several other features, such as the ability to receive storm warnings, and to track weather systems. This makes it a valuable tool for both safety and planning.

In addition to the aforementioned, the IC-M510BB also offers several other compelling features, such as:
