Features

The optical fiber advantage
Icom's IC-M810 will change how you think about remote control. The optical fiber advantage gives you direct, immediate, independent and multiple control over the IC-M810. Optical fiber cables send information instantly through beams of light. And they completely eliminate RF feedback from engine noise, refrigeration, etc.

Compact, independent controller
The compact IC-M810 remote controller is completely splash resistant and measures just 287(W) x 112 (H) x 62 (D) mm (11.3 (W) x 4.4 (H) x 2.4 (D) in.). A total of 4 separate remote controllers can be connected to the transceiver, allowing you transceiver control from many places onboard (*++An optional EX-804 EXPANDER UNIT and EX-803 controllers are necessary). Each remote controller can control the transceiver.

160 user-programmable memory channels
Up to 160 memory channels can be programmed into the IC-M810. Each memory channel stores transmit and receive frequencies and operation mode. Also, up to 7 letter and numeral comments can be stored in each memory channel for your reference. Name each memory channel for its function (WX, fax, office, etc.).

848 ITU channels
The IC-M810 is designed with 848 pre-programmed ITU channels. 242 channels are equipped for SSB, 462 channels for FSK modes, and 144 for Simplex operation.

Fully covers all marine bands
The IC-M810 features full transmit and receive coverage of all marine bands from 2.000 through 26.5000 MHz. The IC-M810 is also a full coverage receiver from 0.5 through 30 MHz covering broadcasts, news agency weather information and other frequencies.

150 W output power
The transceiver has 150 W (PEP) output power in all modes (60 W above 23 MHz).

All mode capability
High seas transmission is possible in SSB, AM, CW and FSK modes.

SITOR capability
The IC-M810 is designed for SITOR operation.

Noise blanker
The IC-M810 noise banker eliminates pulse-type noise, such as ignition noise from an engine or motor.

Intercom function*
The remote controllers can also be linked as an intercom system. *An optional EX-804 EXPANDER UNIT and EX-803 controllers are necessary.

Easy-to-read function display
Quickly view all information required for operation using the large, easy-to-read function display. The function display has an adjustable backlight for nighttime operation and can be turned off when not needed.
