All 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.
