Icom IC-M510E EVO, VHF Marine Radio
High-Power Fixed-Mount VHF with GPS & DSC, Ideal for Commercial and Recreational Boating
Icom M510E EVO Overview
The Icom IC-M510E EVO is a rugged 25W fixed-mount VHF marine radio featuring a built-in GPS receiver and Class D DSC, designed for reliable communication and safety at sea. With power, performance, and usability in mind, it's ideal for fishing vessels, workboats, and leisure craft.
RWB (Icom's NZ distributor) has confirmed the M510E EVO has been the only version of the IC-M510E on sale in NZ and Australia since April 2025, replacing the original M510E.
Note: the EVO version includes updated features over the original M510E, understood to include AIS integration options and a revised display. We don't yet have the official EVO spec sheet confirming exactly what's changed, so the specification table below reflects only what's confirmed unchanged from the original model. Please supply the Icom EVO datasheet or brochure so the full specs can be updated accurately.
