Icom IC-M506EURO (Transponder Version) VHF/DSC Marine Transceiver with Class B AIS Transponder-DISCONTINUED

With the introduction of the CB2000 class B AIS transponder unit, the IC-M506EURO becomes an important piece of safety equipment, able to transmit and display real-time AIS vessel traffic information.


Class B AIS Transponder

The new solution aids collision avoidance by helping you track and contact anyone in your area. Whether you are keeping in touch with other vessels in the area or tracking a similar course, you will be able to share information between vessels, leading to improved safety. The transponder version of the IC-M506EURO gives you peace of mind by knowing that the other vessels around can see you and you can see them!


NMEA Connectivity

A typical installation will connect to your chart plotter using the NMEA2000™ protocol for AIS data transfer. This allows you to overlay received AIS data onto your chart plotter from your radio.

NMEA 0183 is used to interface GPS position data and received DSC information with your chart plotter. The IC-M506EURO can also share GPS (position, course (COG) and speed (SOG)), AIS report and DSC call information data and transmit radio frequency and PGN lists data over the NMEA2000 network.


Last Call Voice Recording

The last call voice recording function automatically saves the last two minutes of incoming calls. You can replay the received calls, and not miss any incoming messages.


Active Noise Cancelling

Using digital signal processing technology, the built-in bidirectional active noise cancelling provides superb performance. It can reduce background noise by up to 90% in the received signal and 30% in the transmitting signal. The function OFF (no digital processing of audio) is also possible.


Intuitive Menu-Driven User Interface

The intuitive software key functions provide easy and fast operation to control the multiple functions of the IC-M506EURO. The bottom line of the dot-matrix display shows the software key functions which can be toggled with the left and right buttons.


25W Two-Way Hailer

When connected to an external hailer horn, you can talk to people on the deck or shore from the radio’s microphone and can hear people’s reply via the hailer speaker. The RX hailer function allows you to monitor the received audio from the hailer horn. 25W amplifier increases your talk power making your communication loud and clear.


Built-in Horn (Automatic & Manual)

A foghorn feature is built-in via the external hailer horn. Four horn patterns are selectable for the automatic horn function.


ITU Class D DSC (Meets ITU-R M493-13)

The built-in DSC watch function monitors Ch. 70 (DSC channel) activity, even while you are receiving another channel. DSC functions include distress, individual, group, all ships, urgency, safety, position request report, polling request and DSC test calls. Up to 100 DSC address IDs can be programmed.
