M424G Fixed-Mount VHF Radio with GPS Receiver

M424G is a GPS-enabled, compact, and affordable radio offering top performance and great value, along with ICOM’s most intuitive user interface.

This advanced marine VHF radio combines powerful communication technology with intelligent features for safer, clearer conversations at sea. Active noise-canceling software reduces background noise by up to 90 percent on both incoming and outgoing calls, ensuring crystal-clear audio even in windy or high-engine environments. The built-in GPS receiver displays your exact position and time, enabling accurate DSC calls when needed. A “smart touch” soft-key interface provides intuitive operation, while AquaQuake™ technology helps clear water from the speaker for optimal sound. With an IPX7 waterproof rating, it’s ready for full immersion protection, and it integrates directly with ICOM’s MA-500TR AIS transponder for enhanced situational awareness. Designed for reliability and ease of use, this radio is an essential tool for safety, navigation, and clear communication on the water.

Key Features

• Built-in GPS Receiver: The built-in GPS receiver shows your current position and time and can be used for DSC calls. The GPS data source is selectable from internal and external GPS (and GPS-OFF setting).
• Intuitive User Interface: Icom’s standard Marine Family User Interface offers simple operation for boat owners. A rotary selector and directional keypad provide intuitive operation. The high-definition dot-matrix display provides clear, easy-to-read viewing of all information.
• Built-in Class D DSC: The built-in DSC watch function monitors Ch. 70 (DSC channel) activity, even while you are receiving another channel. DSC functions include: distress, individual, group, all ships, urgency, safety, position request/report, polling request, and DSC test calls.
• Common NMEA Interface: When receiving DSC information from another vessel, the M424G can transfer it to a navigational device via NMEA 0183 connectivity.
• Compatible with MA-500TR Class B AIS Transceiver: The M424G can be integrated with the MA-500TR Class B AIS Transponder, which allows you to transmit DSC individual calls to a selected vessel instantly without manual MMSI entry. It is convenient if you are waiting to contact vessels on the AIS screen - an essential safety feature in an emergency.
• IPX7 Submersible Protection: The M424G withstands submersion in up to 1.0m depth of water for 30 minutes.
• Favorite Channel Function: This function promotes quick channel selection. Set the “Tag” channel to the channels used most often. When pushing the up/down buttons on the hand microphone, only the tagged channels are selected, while untagged channels are skipped.
