ICOM M801 v
M802
Although the M801E and
M802 look the same that is where the difference finishes.
The
M801E is housed in a more robust housing with
heavy duty connectors, ideal for the marine environment.
By using the latest
DSP technology, the M801E has better receiver
performance.
The M801E is a fully complaint class 'E' DSC unit offering a
full range of DSC features compared with the M802 limited range of DSC
functions.
The M801E is CE approved where
the M802 is not. |
IC-M802
The ICOM SSB transceiver
deploying Digital Signal Processor technology offers a high level of
communications performance while at sea.
The ICOM
M802 can be used for: -
- Distress and Safety communications with coastguard
- Talking to other yachtsmen
- Shore communications via coast radio stations
- Sending and receiving of email - requires pactor
modem
- Receiving world-wide short-wave radio broadcasts
- Receiving global weather broadcasts
- Fax, RTTY, Navtex - requires PC and software
Built-in digital selective calling (DSC) For added
safety at sea, the IC-M802 offers the ability to make and receive the following
DSC calls via HF SSB radio :-
- Distress alert
- Urgency
- Safety
- Individual
- Group
- Test
The advantage of DSC via HF SSB is that calls can be
made over a far greater range than can be achieved using VHF DSC.
M802
Basic specification
- Wide band receive coverage (0.5 - 29.9999MHz)
- Transmit 1.6 - 29.9999MHz
- All ITU channels plus 160 user programmable
channels
- Transmit output power 150 watts
- Power supply requirement : 13.6 Volts
- Consumption 3 Amp Receive, 30 Amp Transmit
Automatic Antenna Tuner (ATU)
The AT-140
easily connects to the IC-M802 and is used to tune the SSB antenna (backstay or
whip) to the transmit frequency. When the tuner cannot tune the antenna, the
IC-M802 bypasses the tuner and displays a warning indicator on the LCD.
M802 DIY package includes: -
- M802 transceiver
- AT-140 ATU
- 10 metre co-ax cable to go between M802 and ATU
- 10 metre remote tuning lead to go between M802 and ATU
·
- 1.5 metre NMEA GPS lead
- All leads supplied with plugs connected
- Installation guide and instructions
- Telephone technical support
Tested and working, only extras required is antennas
and 12 volts power supply.
We can even demonstrate the system working.
