Radio Control & Intercom via Your Smart Device
 

Use the RS-M500 app (for iOS™/Android™) to remotely control the IC-M510 through Wi-Fi®. Up to three smart devices can be used as a wireless microphone or remote controller in substitute for the COMMANDMIC™. Intercom function between your smart device and the radio is also available.

Integrated AIS Receiver*

AIS plotter screen

With its integrated AIS receiver* or external NMEA sentence (third party AIS receiver, transponder), the IC-M510 can show real-time AIS vessel traffic information on the display. You can directly make an individual DSC call to selected AIS targets from the AIS screen.

* AIS receiver is not included depending on the transceiver version.

Wide Viewing Angle Color TFT LCD

Menu screen

The color TFT LCD provides nearly a 180-degree viewing angle. The wide display has high-resolution characters and function icons. The night mode screen ensures good readability in low light conditions.

New Sleek Design

Panel mount example

The IC-M510 is slim (depth: 53.6 mm; 2.1 in) and easy to install in your boat. It’s all-new sleek design is suitable for either panel or trunnion mounting.

Simplified Navigation Function

Navigation screen

The Navigation function guides you to a specified waypoint or AIS target. You can assign up to 100 destinations as waypoints.

Provides Clear, Loud Audio

The IC-M510’s internal speaker enhances the received audio. The waterproof speaker provides superior sound quality with a wide frequency range for powerful, clear audio.

Interface BOX for NMEA 2000™ and Hailer
 

The optional CT-M500 wireless interface box provides NMEA 2000™ connectivity and Two-way Hailer/PA function. The CT-M500 and the radio can be connected through Wi-Fi®. This separate interface box option allows for flexibility in positioning the unit closer to the NMEA network connection point.

Prestigious iF Design Award 2022 Recipient
 

The IC-M510 is a winning product of the iF DESIGN AWARD 2022, the world-renowned design prize.  The IC-M510 VHF marine radio provides essential maritime communication and supports safety on the water. Integration with the newly developed RS-M500 smart-device app also enables an unprecedented onboard communication experience.

AIS Target Call with MA-510TR
 

When connected to the optional MA-510TR Class B AIS transponder, the AIS target call function allows you to make an individual DSC call without having to manually input an MMSI number.
