The Icom IC-M220 is a fixed-mount VHF marine transceiver specially designed to provide reliable and efficient communication at sea. With a transmission power of up to 25 watts, IPX7 waterproof protection, and an integrated Class D DSC safety function, the IC-M220 is an ideal choice for private boats, fishing vessels, charter boats, and commercial vessels that require a powerful and easy-to-operate marine communication radio. Its core specifications include a 25/1-watt output, dedicated Channel 70 DSC monitoring, NMEA connectivity, and a compact design.
Powerful 25-watt transmission output for a wide communication range, with a 1-watt low-power option for short-distance communication or use in harbor areas.
IPX7 waterproof protection, allowing the radio to withstand immersion at a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for harsh marine environments exposed to water splashes and rain.
Integrated Class D DSC with a dedicated Channel 70 receiver, enhancing maritime safety through digital distress calls, individual calls, and other safety-related communication functions.
AquaQuake function, which helps remove water from the speaker so audio remains clear even when the speaker is exposed to water.
NMEA 0183 interface for integration with external GPS/NAV equipment. This allows the vessel’s position to be displayed and transmitted through the radio, improving safety and navigation efficiency.
Compact design with a front-facing speaker, allowing flexible installation while ensuring clear audio even when the radio is mounted on a narrow console.
The following are the main specifications of the Icom IC-M220 VHF marine radio:
Tx (Transmit): 156.025–157.425 MHz
Rx (Receive): 156.050–163.275 MHz
Channel 70 (DSC): 156.525 MHz
High: 25 watts
Low: 1 watt
156.5 × 66.5 × 110.1 mm
(W × H × D, excluding projections)
Waterproof rating: IPX7, resistant to immersion at a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.
Operating temperature: –20°C to +60°C (–4°F to +140°F), making it suitable for various marine weather conditions.
4.5 watts typical to an external 4-ohm speaker.
Approximately 2 watts to the internal speaker, providing loud and clear audio in noisy vessel environments.
Input: RMC, GGA, GNS, GLL, VTG
Output: DSC, DSE, RMC, GSA, GSV
Power supply: 13.8 V DC (11.7–15.9 V DC), with approximately 5 A current consumption during 25-watt transmission.
Antenna impedance: 50 Ω, using an SO-239 connector, allowing easy integration with standard VHF marine antennas.
The Icom IC-M220 is not only powerful; it also offers a wide range of safety and user-friendly features.
The radio automatically monitors Channel 70 for DSC signals even while receiving another channel. This enables the transmission and reception of digital distress calls, individual calls, group calls, and safety calls, improving the speed and reliability of communication during critical situations at sea.
The IC-M220 provides weather channels with alerts, allowing users to monitor marine weather information and receive early storm warnings. This feature is highly useful for improving sailing safety.
The AquaQuake function helps remove water from the speaker through a special audio vibration. It prevents reduced audio quality caused by a wet speaker and helps ensure clear communication during heavy rain or when the vessel’s deck is wet.
With NMEA 0183 support, the IC-M220 can be connected to an external GPS or navigation system to receive and transmit position data. This feature is useful for Class B AIS systems and other navigation equipment that require position-data integration with the marine radio.
