Internal

The Icom IC-M510 EVO is a fixed VHF marine radio with built-in class D DSC. It can be panel or trunnion mounted, is rated IP68 for 1 m of water for 60 minutes, and has an integrated GNSS receiver with an internal GPS antenna option. Up to three smart devices can serve as wireless microphones, and a 15 W speaker handles received audio. It measures 6.8 x 4.3 x 2.0 inches and runs on 13.8V DC. This version does not include an AIS receiver.

Our take

The IC-M510 EVO pairs class D DSC with an IP68 case rated for 1 m of water for 60 minutes, and up to three smart devices can act as wireless microphones. This version has no AIS receiver, so it does not show traffic on its own.
