icom M510BB Black Box VHF with HM195GW White CommandMic
Model: M510 BB GW 21 USAIcom's M510BB is perfect for boats that need AIS receive functionality without taking up precious helm space. The supplied CommandMicTM provides all the safety and communication functions for commercial and leisure boaters.
The M510BB consists of a CommandMicTM and black box RF unit. Use the CommandMicTM for all operations including DSC. Install the RF unit out of sight, place up to 60 ft (18.3 m)* away from the CommandMicTM.
Add up to two additional CommandMicTM microphones for boats requiring two or three comms stations. Extend communication points around the boat including the cockpit, fly bridge, and tower. Access the intercom functions for one-to-all or one-to-one communications on the boat.
The M510BB includes an integrated AIS receiver, perfect for remote station information via the CommandMicTM, or integrated into the NMEA 2000(R) bus to display radar and chart plotter information on an MFD (Multi-Function Display).
In addition to the conveniently located DSC button on the back of every CommandMicTM, the M510BB introduces a dedicated DSC Remote Control (EN 300 338-8 compatible) terminal, allowing a connection to an external device to centralize emergency communications control.
The M510BB has a last call voice recording function automatically saves up to two minutes of an incoming call.
The NMEA 2000(R) network provides plug-and-play data communication to inter-connect other marine equipment such as an MFD (Multi-Function Display). The radio can send AIS, GNSS (GPS) position, DSC call, and radio channels to other equipment.
On the back of every CommandMicTM is a conveniently located DSC button. Once triggered, the M510BB transmits a DSC alert signal to nearby vessels with the MMSI* and GPS location of your vessel. *MMSI number must be obtained and programmed for each vessel/radio.
The built-in 15W amplifier increases the audio output of an external hailer speaker. The one-way RX hailer function enables you to broadcast radio traffic through the hailer speaker to listen to radio traffic on the deck or tower. You can also sound foghorn patterns from the hailer speaker.
The Active Noise Cancelling function digitally removes background noise from transmitting and receiving audio to provide clear communications in noisy maritime environments.

The Icom M510BB Black Box VHF with HM195GW White is a marine communication system designed for vessels requiring AIS receive functionality without occupying significant helm space. This system consists of an RF black box unit and a CommandMic, allowing the RF unit to be installed out of sight, up to 60 feet away from the CommandMic. It is suitable for commercial and leisure boaters who need reliable safety and communication features. The M510BB includes an integrated AIS receiver, which can display information on the CommandMic or integrate with a NMEA 2000 bus for display on a Multi-Function Display. It supports up to two additional CommandMics, enabling multiple communication points and intercom functions. Key features include a dedicated DSC Remote Control terminal, a last call voice recording function for up to two minutes, and Active Noise Cancelling for clear audio in noisy environments. The M510BB GW 21 USA also offers a built-in 15W amplifier for an external hailer speaker, supporting RX hailer and foghorn patterns.
The Icom M510BB includes the M510BB Black Box VHF RF unit and one HM195GW White CommandMic. Additional CommandMics can be added separately.
The CommandMic can be installed up to 60 feet (18.3 meters) away from the RF black box unit, allowing for flexible placement on a vessel.
Yes, the M510BB features NMEA 2000 network connectivity, enabling plug-and-play data communication to inter-connect with other marine equipment such as MFDs (Multi-Function Displays) to send AIS, GNSS (GPS) position, DSC call, and radio channels.
The transmitter offers two power output options: 25 W (High power) and 1 W (Low power) at 13.8V DC.
