Compact, Stylish and Packed with Features
The slim IC-M430E combines a wide-view colour TFT display with NMEA 2000™ and NMEA 0183-HS connectivity. Its low-profile design suits modern helm consoles.

25 W RF Output with Class D DSC
Transmit at up to 25 W. Built-in Class D DSC provides a dedicated distress calling button and individual calling.
Slimmer Body Fits in Tight Spaces
The 202 × 82 × 52.6 mm housing leaves room for installation and cable management.
Simplified Flush Mounting
Direct mounting and snap-on covers conceal the fasteners for a clean console finish.

Three Display Modes
Light, Dark and Night display settings, a wide viewing angle, a one-touch Day/Night switch and illuminated keys aid operation in changing light.



Flexible System Integration
NMEA 2000™ and NMEA 0183-HS support data sharing with marine electronics. With the MA-510TR AIS transponder, an individual DSC call can be sent to a selected AIS target.
Remote Microphone Installation Options
The supplied microphone can connect at the front or, with the optional OPC-1000 extension, at the rear. The optional CommandMic™ supports a second control location and intercom operation. A 90° adapter is available for cable protection.
