A special capability of the Series 9100 digital headset system that enhances boat crew communication, versatility and exibility is the ability to seamlessly integrate wireless headset technology, such as David Clark’s Series 9900 wireless headset system. It’s based on the latest digital enhanced cordless technology or DECT. It provides crewmembers with enhanced freedom and mobility to move about the craft without being tethered to intercoms or equipment, while providing hands-free communication for a hybrid (wired/wireless) system solution.

A vessel operator that wants a “tech-laden powerhouse” for their next VHF radio, might check out the xed-mount Class D ICOM M510. The system includes a 3.5” full-color TFT (thin lm transistor) display with TFT’s image clarity across a nearly 180° viewing angle, and a night mode function for the display when operating in the dark. There’s also a wireless interface to National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) 2000 bus with optional foghorn and hailer. The M510 AIS version allows you to stay up to date on nearby vessel traf c. That gives you two navigation units in one, thus saving space in the wheelhouse.
“Tech-laden powerhouse” is also how Marine Electronics
Journal refers to the ICOM M510 in its July/August 2022 issue where the ICOM M510 was the recipient of the National Marine Electronics Association’s 2022 Product of Excellence Award for marine VHF radios.
ICOM’s future offerings will be two new black box radios, the M510BB and the M410BB. The M410BB will be capable of two remote stations with GPS and internal NMEA 2000. The M510BB is capable of three remote stations with GPS and NMEA 2000 internal, plus AIS receiver and remote disc control. Both radios have an automatic last two-minute record function.
