Icom M424G Black VHF Radio Class D DSC Built-in GPS

Description

Professional Marine Communication with Built-in GPS

The ICOM M424G Black VHF Radio is a premium fixed-mount marine VHF transceiver engineered for boaters who demand dependable communication, enhanced safety and exceptional audio performance. Combining an integrated GPS receiver with Class D Digital Selective Calling (DSC), the M424G simplifies installation while ensuring your vessel is always ready to send position-enabled distress alerts whenever they're needed.

Ideal for leisure craft, fishing boats, sailing yachts and commercial workboats, the M424G delivers powerful 25-watt transmission, intuitive controls and a rugged waterproof design built to perform in demanding marine environments.

Built-in GPS for Simpler Installation

Unlike many fixed VHF radios that rely on an external GPS source, the M424G features an integrated GPS receiver that automatically provides position and time information for DSC functions. The radio can also use an external GPS input if preferred, offering greater flexibility for more advanced onboard electronics systems.

With GPS information always available, DSC distress alerts can immediately transmit your vessel's location to nearby vessels and emergency services, helping speed up rescue response when every second counts.

Class D DSC for Enhanced Safety

The M424G continuously monitors Channel 70 through its dedicated Class D DSC receiver, even while you're communicating on another channel. This ensures emergency calls are never missed and gives boaters access to a comprehensive range of digital calling functions, including:

• Distress Calling
• Individual Calling
• Group Calling
• Position Request & Position Report
• All Ships Calling
• Safety & Urgency Calls
• Polling Requests
• DSC Test Calls

These advanced safety features make the M424G an ideal communication solution for both recreational and professional marine users.

Active Noise Cancelling & Powerful 10W Audio

Whether you're cruising at speed or operating in rough weather, clear communication is essential. The M424G incorporates Active Noise Cancelling technology that significantly reduces background engine and wind noise on both transmitted and received audio, helping conversations remain clear in challenging conditions.

A built-in 10W audio amplifier drives an optional external PA speaker, enabling the radio to function as both a public address system and electronic foghorn. This added functionality makes the M424G particularly valuable for larger vessels and commercial applications.

Built for Life on the Water

Engineered specifically for marine use, the M424G carries an IPX7 waterproof rating, allowing it to withstand accidental immersion in up to one metre of water for 30 minutes. ICOM's AquaQuake™ speaker draining technology helps remove water from the speaker after exposure to heavy spray or rain, restoring clear audio quickly.

Its high-contrast white backlit LCD, laser-cut keypad and intuitive rotary control make operation straightforward in both bright daylight and low-light conditions.

Designed for Modern Marine Electronics

The M424G integrates easily with compatible onboard electronics using NMEA 0183 connectivity and supports optional accessories including the HM-195 COMMANDMIC™, allowing full control of the radio from a second station or flybridge. Compatibility with ICOM AIS transponders also enables convenient AIS target calling, further enhancing onboard communication capabilities.
