Global marine communication beyond VHF range.
Overview
The Icom IC-M804 MF/HF Marine Radio delivers global marine communications for vessels that operate beyond VHF range. VHF stops at the horizon, MF/HF keeps going, providing long-range marine voice and data communication for ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore contact, offshore and blue-water capability.
The IC-M804 includes Class E DSC for digital distress calling, with a dedicated DISTRESS button, automatic position reporting, and direct alerts to rescue authorities.
