Icom IC-M400BB VHF Marine Transceiver
The ICOM M400BB VHF Marine Transceiver is loaded with special features all in a space saving two-piece design. All functions can be controlled from the hand piece which means the black box can be installed out of sight, freeing up valuable space for additional marine electronics.
Available as:
M400BB |
VHF marine fixed mount transceiver, with black CommandMic IV (HM-195B) |
M400BB SW |
VHF marine fixed mount transceiver, with white CommandMic IV (HM-195SW) |
The IC-M400BB is easy to use with its new intuitive user interface. The unit features an impressive built-in bidirectional noise cancelling system that reduces up to 90% of background noise. The 10 watt loud audio ensures radio transmissions are received loud and clear which is important in case of emergency situations. The ICOM IC-M400BB also has a public address function that allows you to use the microphone as a loud speaker as well as a fog horn. Even while you are receiving another channel, the built-in DCS monitors the DSC channel activity for your safety. DSC functions include distress, individual, group, all ships, urgency, safety, position request/report, polling request, and DSC test calls.
Additional features include connectivity to an external GPS receiver using the common NMEA interface which allows you to view your current Call for Help with Marine Electronics position and time on the hand piece. Information from another vessel can also be transferred to a navigational device using the NMEA 0183 connectivity. With the IC-M400BB you will not have to worry about audio quality. The unit is fully waterproof and features the unique AquaQuake draining system, which works by clearing water out of the speaker grill.All these features of the IC-M400BB will add a sense of safety and security to you boating experience.
Space-saving, two-piece configuration
The IC-M400BB consists of a two-piece, black box configuration. All function control including DSC operation, can be made from the COMMANDMIC IV™, HM-195B/SW, and the RF unit, IC-M400BB, can be installed in an out-of-sight place.
New intuitive user interface
The new menu system is shared with Icom’s latest models. The bottom line of the dot-matrix display shows the software key functions which can be toggled with the left and right buttons.
Active noise cancelling
The built-in bidirectional active noise cancelling reduces background noise to up to 90% and improves both your transmitted voice and incoming call. Hear and be heard more clearly.
10W Loud Audio, Public Address and Foghorn
The IC-M400BB has a built-in 10W amplifier that increases the audio output from an additional external speaker. The public address function allows you to make an announcement from the microphone like a loud speaker, and the foghorn can also be emitted from the external speaker.
Built-in Class D DSC
The built-in DSC watch function monitors Ch. 70 (DSC channel) activity, even while you are receiving another channel. DSC functions include: distress, individual, group, all ships, urgency, safety, position request/report, polling request and DSC test calls.
Common NMEA Interface
When connected to an external GPS receiver, current position and time are shown on the COMMANDMICTM display. When receiving DSC information from another vessel, the radio can transfer it to a navigational device via NMEA 0183 connectivity.
AIS Target Call with MA-500TR
