Description
A reliable VHF radio is an important part of any boat's communication equipment. The Icom IC-M330G combines a compact design with the practical features boaters rely on, making it particularly well suited to smaller vessels and installations where space is limited.
From communicating with marinas to monitoring marine channels while underway, the IC-M330G provides straightforward VHF operation with integrated GPS and Digital Selective Calling (DSC) safety functionality.
Compact Enough for Almost Any Helm
The IC-M330G is designed to fit where larger radios may be difficult to install. Measuring approximately 6.2 inches wide, its compact housing makes efficient use of available dashboard space without sacrificing essential controls.
The backlit display and keypad provide good visibility in changing light conditions, while directional controls and programmable soft keys make commonly used features easy to access.
It's a convenient choice for center consoles, fishing boats, sailboats, and other vessels where keeping the helm organized is a priority.
Hear and Be Heard with Confidence
Clear audio is especially important in busy marinas, windy conditions, and around running engines.
The IC-M330G features a specially designed speaker that delivers strong, clear sound with reduced distortion, helping incoming communications remain easy to understand.
With selectable 25W and 1W transmit power, users can choose an appropriate output for their communication requirements. The radio's receiver is also engineered to handle demanding radio environments where multiple nearby transmissions may be present.
GPS-Enabled Safety Communication
The IC-M330G includes an integrated GPS receiver and a supplied external GPS antenna. Using GPS, GLONASS, and SBAS satellite systems, the radio can obtain position, speed, and bearing information.
This information can support the radio's built-in Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functions, including digital distress alerts.
A dedicated DSC receiver continuously monitors Channel 70, even when the radio is receiving voice communications on another channel.
When configured correctly with an MMSI number and valid GPS data, the radio can transmit position information as part of a DSC distress alert.
Everyday Features That Make Boating Easier
The IC-M330G includes a range of practical functions to support routine communications and channel monitoring.
Dualwatch and Tri-watch allow users to monitor Channel 16 alongside other selected channels, while priority scanning helps keep track of important transmissions.
Built-in weather channel access and alerts provide additional awareness when conditions change.
The radio also includes an NMEA interface for connecting compatible marine navigation equipment, along with an external speaker connection for installations requiring additional audio output.
Waterproof Protection for Marine Use
From heavy rain to unexpected spray, marine equipment is regularly exposed to challenging conditions.
The IC-M330G carries an IPX7 waterproof rating, providing protection against temporary immersion in up to 3.3 feet of water for 30 minutes.
Icom's AquaQuake™ function helps remove water trapped in the speaker grille, supporting consistent audio performance after exposure to moisture.
