ICOM
IC-M801GMDSS & IC-M801E
The latest ICOM SSB transceiver deploying
Digital Signal Processor technology offers a high level of communications
performance while at sea.
The ICOM M801E can be used for: -
- Distress and Safety communications with
coastguard
- Talking to other yachtsmen
- Shore communications via coast radio stations
- Sending and receiving email via SSB - requires
pactor modem
- Receiving world-wide short-wave radio broadcasts
- Receiving global weather broadcasts
- Fax, RTTY, Navtex - requires PC and software
Built-in digital selective calling (DSC), Class
A or Class E
The IC-M801GMDSS has a Class A DSC operation and will
meet GMDSS requirements and MED 96/98/CE, required for SOLAS regulated vessels
(commercial vessel).
The IC-M801E will meet Class E standards for
non-SOLAS vessels and is ideal for fitting to the average yacht and the M801E
offers the ability to make and receive the following DSC calls via HF SSB radio
:-
- Distress alert
- Distress relay
- Urgency
- Safety
- Individual
- Group
- Test calls
- Semi/Auto calls
The advantage of DSC via HF SSB is that calls can
be made over a far greater range than can be achieved using VHF DSC.
- Receive 500 kHz to 30000 kHz
- Transmits on MF/HF marine bands
- Operation mode USB-J3E, AM-H3E, CW-J2A & FSK-F1B.
- 1195 channels
- 125 watts power PEP output
- Supply 12 or 24 volts options
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to eliminate noise
and interference
- Built in DSC; class A DSC meeting GMDSS requirements
and MED 96/98/EC requirements for SOLAS regulated vessels and class E DSC for
non-SOLAS regulated vessels.
- Auxiliary socket for connection to SCS Pactor modem
- ICOM AT141 antenna tuning unit (ATU)
- Ideal for use with Pacific SSB Aerials Antenna
accessories. Supplied with installation application note
Automatic Antenna Tuner (ATU)
The
AT-141 easily connects to the IC-M801 and is used to tune the SSB antenna
(backstay or whip) to the transmit frequency. When the tuner cannot tune the
antenna, the IC-M801 bypasses the tuner and displays a warning indicator on the
LCD.
M801 DIY package includes: -
- M801 transceiver
- AT-141 ATU
- 10 metre co-ax cable to go between M801 and ATU
- 10 metre remote tuning lead to go between M801 and
ATU ·
- 1.5 metre NMEA GPS lead
- All leads supplied with plugs connected
- Installation guide and instructions
- Telephone technical support
Tested and working, only extras required is
antennas and 12 volts power supply.
We can even demonstrate the system
working. |

ICOM M801 v
M802
Although the M801E and M802 look the same that is where the
difference finishes.
The M801 is housed in a more robust housing with heavy
duty connectors, ideal for the marine environment.
By using the latest DSP
technology, the M801E has better receiver performance.
The M801E is a fully
compliant class 'E' DSC unit offering a full range of DSC features compared
with the M802 limited range of DSC functions.
The M801E is CE approved
where the M802 is not.
