M94D VHF Marine Radio with AIS & DSC & GPS
Icom's M94D VHF Marine Transceiver is the world's first handheld to possess the power of AIS. With a class-leading 1500 mW speaker and ocean-conscious features, the M94D is perfect for small boats and leisure craft looking to stay safe and informed on the ocean.
Simplified AIS and DSC in One Package
The simplified AIS and DSC functions add further assurance for safety at sea. With the integrated AIS receiver, real-time AIS vessel traffic information is shown on the display. The AIS target call function allows you to easily set up a DSC individual call. Distress calls can be made with the rear panel button.
6W RF Output Power and 10 Hours of Operating Time
The IC-M94D’s 6 watts *1 of transmit power provides an extended communication range for the user. Supplied 2400 mAh (typical) high capacity Li-ion battery, BP-306 provides 10 hours of operating time, under normal conditions *2.
*1 5 W for AUS version/*2 Approximate, typical operation with 5:5:90 duty ratio.
Class-Leading 1500 mW Audio Output
Icom’s custom high-power capacity speaker delivers a loud 1500 mW (typical) audio output with improved acoustic sound clarity for noisy maritime environments.
Simplified Navigation Function
The Navigation function guides you to a specified waypoint. You can assign a maximum of 50 favorite fishing spots or destinations as waypoints.
Float’n Flash and MOB Auto Set Functions
The radio floats with a flashing LED light to help you retrieve it from the water. Pressing the distress button while Float’n Flash is working will transmit the MOB distress signal, rather than the plain undesignated one for better protection of sailors.
