Icom M605 VHF fixed mount with color display and rear mic connector
Model: M605 31 USAAll functions of the IC-M605 (including DSC and distress operation) can be remotely controlled with up to three controllers, RC-M600 COMMAND HEAD and/or HM-195 series COMMANDMICTM, with an intercom function available among the main radio and controllers. The system allows for maximum operating flexibility anywhere on your boat.
A combination of the directional keypad and soft keys provides simple operation. Most used functions are assigned to soft keys (at the bottom of the display) for quick one push function access. The large ten-key pad enables you to smoothly enter channel numbers, MMSI numbers with ID names and so on.
The IC-M605's internal speaker enhances intelligibility of received calls. The waterproof, paper speaker-cone provides superior sound quality with a wide frequency range and a flat frequency response for powerful, yet clear audio.
A weak signal adjacent to a strong signal can be clearly received by the IC-M605. Its commercial grade receiver performance (selectivity and IMD: more than 80 dB) provides reliable communication at all times.
The GNSS (GPS, GLONASS and SBAS) receiver is integrated in the IC-M605. Position information can be simply received with connection to the supplied GNSS antenna with 5 m cable, UX-241.
The Active Noise Canceling digitally removes background noise from both transmit and receive audio and provides clear communication in a noisy maritime environment.
When connected to the optional horn speaker, SP-37, you can talk with crews on the deck or shore from the radio's microphone and can hear any reply via the horn speaker. Also available the RX hailer function and four patterns of automatic foghorn.
The last call voice recording function automatically saves up to two minutes of an incoming call. Don't miss any incoming messages.
Using NMEA 2000TM connectivity, the radio can exchange GNSS, AIS reports, DSC call information data, radio frequency and PGN list data on the network. NMEA 0183/-HS GNSS position data can also be converted to NMEA 2000TM data for other equipment
With an optional voice scrambler unit, UT-112, the IC-M605 provides 32 tone secure conversation. This function is useful when you want to share private information with consort ships.

The Icom M605 25W VHF Rear Mic Connector is a fixed-mount VHF radio designed for maritime communication. It features a 4.3-inch wide color TFT LCD with a night mode for visibility in low-light conditions. This unit, identified by part number M605 31 USA, integrates NMEA2000 and NMEA0183 connectivity, making it suitable for integration into existing vessel navigation systems. It includes Class D DSC functionality, active noise cancelling, and a last call voice recording feature to enhance communication clarity and message retention. The M605 also offers a 30W listen-back hailer and a built-in horn/foghorn, addressing on-deck communication and safety signaling needs. Its IPX8 submersible rating ensures durability in marine environments, making it a viable option for commercial or recreational vessels requiring reliable, integrated VHF radio capabilities.
The Icom M605 provides NMEA2000 and NMEA0183 connectivity. This allows the radio to exchange GNSS, AIS reports, DSC call information, radio frequency, and PGN list data on a network, and convert NMEA 0183/-HS GNSS position data to NMEA 2000 data.
The Icom M605 is supplied with a speaker microphone (HM-205RB) that can be connected to the rear panel. It also includes a GNSS antenna with a 5-meter cable (UX-241) for position information.
Yes, all functions of the IC-M605, including DSC and distress operation, can be remotely controlled. This is possible with up to three optional controllers, such as the RC-M600 COMMAND HEAD and/or HM-195 series COMMANDMICTM, which also feature an intercom function.
The Icom M605 is designed to operate within a temperature range of -20 degrees Celsius to +60 degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to -4 degrees Fahrenheit to +140 degrees Fahrenheit.
