The Icom MA-510TR is a Class B AIS transponder designed to enhance maritime safety by automatically receiving information from other AIS-equipped vessels and base stations, while transmitting your vessel's static and dynamic data. This dual-channel receiver processes both Class A and Class B AIS signals simultaneously, providing comprehensive situational awareness.
- 4.3-inch Color TFT LCD Display: Features a wide viewing angle and high resolution, with day and night modes for optimal readability in various lighting conditions.
- AIS Target List and Details: Displays all detected AIS-equipped vessels and targets, with the 'Danger' list highlighting vessels within six nautical miles (CPA) and 60 minutes (TCPA) of your position.
- Simplified Navigation Function: Guides you to specified waypoints or AIS targets, allowing up to 100 favorite destinations to be stored.
- Man Overboard (MOB) Navigation: Activates the MOB function by holding the [WPT/MOB] button, marking your current position and navigating to the incident location.
- Individual DSC Call: Enables transmission of individual DSC calls by selecting an AIS target and voice channel, requiring a compatible Icom VHF radio.
- USB Connectivity: Allows AIS data output via a USB cable connected to the rear panel, compatible with third-party applications.
- Integrated GPS Receiver and Antenna: Includes a GPS receiver with SBAS function and a GPS antenna with a 10-meter cable for precise positioning.
- NMEA 2000™ & NMEA 0183/-HS Connectivity: Supports plug-and-play functionality with NMEA 2000™ for easy integration with external chart plotters, marine radars, and VHF radios, and compatibility with NMEA 0183/-HS for connection with other compatible equipment.
- Collision Alarm Function: Alerts you when a vessel enters the CPA or TCPA range, with visual and audible warnings, and can be connected to external audio equipment for alerts when away from the transponder.
- Silent Mode: Temporarily disables the AIS transmitter to stop transmitting your vessel's position, useful for privacy, while still receiving other vessels' AIS reports.
- Anchor Watch Function: Sounds an alarm if your vessel drifts while anchored.
