ICOM’S COMMANDMICIII
18th February 2006
Miami, FL (February 16, 2006) - At the 2006 International Miami Boat Show, Icom America proudly introduces the third generation of its popular remote control option: the COMMANDMICIII™. The “CM3” offers full control of Icom’s new M504 fixed mount VHF – including its Class D DSC!Perhaps the first thing boaters will notice about the CM3 is its size. The plug and play second station option is notably larger than its predecessor, and offers a fantastic ‘form factor”. That is, the CM3 feels great to hold. The LCD display is large and bright, and offers 168 full dot-matrix characters, making DSC position sharing easy to see.
Full control 2nd station capability
The COMMANDMICIII is a remote control for the IC-M504 that may be positioned up to 18.3m (60ft) away from the IC-M504. All M504 functions, including distress call, DSC, and foghorn, are available. The CM3 may also be used as an intercom with the IC-M504.
Multi function “Jog” dial
A newly designed multi function Jog dial gives you quick and easy access to many M504 settings, including operating channel, volume, squelch, menu settings and more.
Submersible PLUS (IP-X8)
The COMMANDMICIII is tested to survive submersion 50% deeper than its predecessor, and receives the highest possible rating for waterproofness.
Other features
- Full dot-matrix LCD with 7-step dimmer setting
- 2.8 watt (typical) external speaker terminal
- DSC button on back panel, under protective flip-top cover
