The Icom IC-GM1600 meets GMDSS specifications for survival craft and uses the latest Search & Rescue technology to survive and function in the extreme environmental conditions found in marine emergencies.
The submersible GM1600 has a rugged construction and a newly developed speed water removal system which removes water from the speaker grill for high quality audio in all conditions.
Since 1999, all SOLAS convention ships operating internationally should have complied with the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) carriage requirements. These include specifications for survival craft handheld radios, requiring a minimum of 2 sets of such radios to be carried on cargo vessels of 300 to 500 GT; and a minimum of 3 sets to be carried on cargo vessels over 500 GT, as well as all passenger ships.
Available as this standard (NiCad battery only) pack, or as a MED approved pack which includes the additional BP-234 Lithium battery. Both packs contain the radio, NiCad battery, desktop charger, hand-strap, belt clip, antenna & handbook. ONLY the MED pack has the additional 5yr Lithium Battery which is not rechargeable.
The IC-GM1600 meets temperature, thermal shock, vibration and drop resistant (from 1 m height) requirements. After passing those environmental tests, the IC-GM1600 retains 1m depth waterproof construction as specified by IMO resolutions A.809(19), A.694(17) and IEC 61097-12.
