Product Details

The Icom M803 is a powerful 150-watt single sideband (SSB) marine radio designed for long-range communication on both marine and amateur radio frequencies. With Class E DSC MF/HF certification, this advanced radio covers 0.5-29.99 MHz and provides reliable communication for cruisers and offshore mariners.

Key Features:

  • 150W output power for extended range communication
  • 830 channels including 160 programmable, 72 ITU SSB duplex, 249 ITU SSB simplex, 193 ITU FSK duplex, and 160 email channels
  • Built-in GPS receiver with GPS, GLONASS, and SBAS support for position data and UTC information
  • Large 4.3-inch color TFT display with nearly 180-degree wide viewing angle and night mode
  • IPX7 waterproof controller for reliable operation in marine environments
  • Advanced RF direct sampling system for improved receiver sensitivity and audio quality

Digital Selective Calling and Safety Features:

The M803 includes a dedicated DSC watch-keeping receiver that continuously monitors six distress channels. The spring-loaded emergency distress button sends digital distress signals with GPS coordinates to nearby vessels and coast stations. Store up to 100 MMSI numbers (75 individual, 25 group) with 10-character names for quick DSC calling. The Multiple Task Mode allows you to switch between calls if another DSC call is received during an active conversation.

User-Friendly Operation:

Navigate functions easily with the large main dial, full alphanumeric keypad, and programmable keys on both the head unit and microphone. The intuitive interface shares design similarities with Icom's M605 VHF radio for seamless operation between radios. The two-minute Instant Replay function continuously records and allows playback of recent audio, useful for reviewing missed information.

Additional Capabilities:

  • HF email operation with frequency, mode, and bandwidth memorization
  • NMEA 0183 Version 4.10 data input/output (4800-38400 bps)
  • Position data output for use with chartplotters and other navigation devices
  • Programmable software keys for customized quick access to frequently used functions

The M803 provides professional-grade communication capabilities for recreational cruisers and offshore sailors who demand reliable long-range radio performance.

My old Single Sideband radio, burned out its screen and no replacement was available. I searched all the avenues I was aware of, then a friend mentioned autoplicity, which I was not aware of. Not only was the price better, but the radio arrived in only 24 hours. I will always check them for future purchases.
