The Icom M510BB is a professional black box VHF marine transceiver designed for vessels requiring AIS receive functionality without sacrificing valuable helm space. This space-saving system consists of a compact black box RF unit and one waterproof HM-195GW CommandMic (white), providing comprehensive safety and communication features for both commercial and recreational boaters.
Space-Saving Black Box Design:
The RF unit can be installed out of sight in any convenient location, while the CommandMic remains within easy reach at the helm. The black box can be mounted up to 60 feet away from the CommandMic, ensuring a clutter-free helm area and flexible installation options throughout the vessel.
Multiple Station Capability:
The M510BB supports up to three CommandMic stations total, allowing you to add two additional CommandMics for multiple communication points throughout your boat. Perfect for larger vessels with cockpit, flybridge, and tower stations. The intercom function enables both one-to-all and one-to-one communications between stations.
Integrated AIS Receiver:
The built-in AIS receiver monitors the position of nearby AIS-equipped vessels, providing enhanced situational awareness and collision avoidance alerts. View AIS information directly on the CommandMic display or integrate it with your chartplotter via NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183-HS connections.
