The IC-M503 together with the HM-134B COMMANDMIC™ 'remote control microphone', allows full control (except DSC) of its associate unit, the IC-M503EURO VHF transceiver from a separate area up to 18 m away. This unique facility will give any large boat owner a higher level of flexibility and dependable communications in any environment.

The HM-134B COMMANDMIC™ provides complete radio operation of the IC-M503EURO (except DSC operation). This allows the user to operate the transceiver from many areas of the vessel such as from the deck or fly bridge with ease. With slim dimensions, the COMMANDMIC™ fits in the palm of your hand comfortably and with the sizeable LCD, allows you to control all functions of the main unit*. In addition, the HM-134B allows full intercom facility with the IC-M503EURO.

The IC-M503EURO retains all the functions of the IC-M501: all channel access (including private channels); dual and tri-watch; fast scanning; and a programmable ‘CALL’ channel.

With its optional DSC controller, DS-100, the IC-M503Euro meets 'class D' requirements. In addition the IC-M503EURO, DS-100 and COMMANDMIC™ are all waterproof to IPX-7 making them ideal for RIBS and open cockpit vessels. Featuring a 4 X 6-inch flush mountable front panel, the IC-M503EURO will easily blend into your cabin console or dashboard. The generous front panel provides large function buttons and a wide LCD. With full dot matrix characters, information can be read easily under any lighting condition. The IC-M503EURO also has an optional voice scrambler, which enables secure private communication (subject to local licencing conditions).

The optional DS-100 DSC controller has a 168-character full dot-matrix display that is very easy to read. Large, clearly labelled controls allow you to easily make routine individual, group and all ship calls. Up to 40 received messages (20 distress and 20 other calls) are stored, and a total of 70 address ID's (individual and Group ID) can be programmed in, a similar format to a mobile phone book. When connected to the GPS receiver (NMEA 0183 Ver.2.0), position data and universal/local times can also be displayed.
