The IC-M411 DSC/VHF is a powerful, compact, class D DSC transceiver at a very competitive price.  Easy to use, with excellent receiver sensitivity and improved speaker audio the IC-M411 also features the AquaQuake draining function that emits a buzzing sound which clears water from the speaker system, clear communications even in the worst conditions.

Superior receiver sensitivity and speaker audio
The IC-M411 has excellent receiver performance. The efficient speaker also reproduces a low frequency audio composition for clear and crisp audio.

Simple operation
The large LCD shows a full sized channel number and 10 character scrolling channel comment. The 4 levels of LCD backlight make the screen easy to see in all conditions. 9 clearly labelled, well spaced buttons below the display allow easy operation even with wet and cold fingers. The “Distress” button is covered with a spring loaded plastic cover to prevent accidental distress call activation. The included remote-function microphone allows you to select channels and change output power directly.

Favourite channel function
This function allows for quicker channel selection. Set the “Tag” channel to the channels used most often. When pushing the up/down buttons on the hand microphone, only the tagged channels are selected, while untagged channels are skipped.

Class D DSC built-in
The IC-M411 has a built-in Ch 70 (DSC channel) receiver, which monitors activity, even while you are receiving another channel. When in an emergency situation, an automated distress call can be sent with a touch of a button. DSC uses a unique ID (MMSI code), so you can make contact with the intended ID station or group directly, or with all ships in the area. A total of 100 address IDs can be programmed with 10-character address name and up to 20 received DSC messages are stored. When connected to an external GPS receiver, the position request function allows you to exchange the ships position information. The polling (request/reply) function checks whether a specific boat is in the communication range.

NMEA input
When connected to an external GPS receiver, the IC-M411 displays the ship’s position. The IC-M411 supports NMEA 0183 Version 2.0 and 3.01. Supported sentence formats are RMC, GGA, GNS and GLL.
