Icom at Hines Marine —
Communications you can hear over the hauler.
Icom is on more wheelhouses than any other radio brand, and it is what we fit as standard. We program MMSI, wire the DSC and AIS to the plotter, and mount antennas so they actually make range.
The Icom gear on our boats.
Not a catalogue — this is what actually goes into the packages we build, pulled from the vessels on our fleet page.
M605 VHF/AIS Transceiver
Icom's flagship fixed-mount VHF. Up to three stations (Command Head or CommandMic) with intercom, an integrated AIS receiver, active noise cancelling, and a 4.3" color TFT with night mode. We wire it into the NMEA 2000 backbone so GNSS, AIS and DSC data flow to the chart.
M510 Evo DSC VHF
The everyday radio on our installs. Class D DSC, clear audio in a noisy house, and NMEA 2000 position sharing so distress calls carry a fix.
MA-510TR AIS Transponder
Class B AIS that puts you on other boats' screens and their targets on your chart. The built-in plotter shows surrounding traffic at a glance, and we feed it into TimeZero and the radar overlay so everything lands on one screen.
M330G / M330 DSC VHF
Icom's palm-sized fixed-mount VHF — Class D DSC, clear audio over a noisy wheelhouse, and a built-in GPS receiver on the M330G so distress calls carry a position fix without an external feed. Fits where panel space is tight.
Radio, AIS and chart on the same wire.
We tie the VHF and AIS into the NMEA 2000 backbone so position flows to the radio and targets flow to the chart and radar overlay. One network, properly terminated and labelled — not a pile of adapters behind the dash.
