Last month, we were out covering some of the new communications gear hitting the marine world at the 73rd annual Seattle Boat Show in New York City.
One of the most anticipated radios that launched at the show was ICOM’s new Single Side Band (SSB) radio, the M803.
The ICOM M803 is a long-range digital communications radio for both marine and ham frequencies.
The radio features include a distress call button, dedicated DSC scanning, GPS, twominute instant replay audio function, and HF email capabilities. The M803 also includes an advanced RF direct simple sampling system that improves higher receiver sensitivity and higher quality audio. According to ICOM.
