The compact IC-M330E/GE measures only 156.5 (W) × 66.5 (H) × 110.1 (D) mm making it ideal for a cockpit where space is limited. Installation can be carried out by means of the provided U-shaped mounting bracket (base / substructure) or with the optional mounting kit MBF-5 (for installation in an instrument panel; see above). A combination of the directional keypad and soft keys provides simple, smooth operation. Most used functions are assigned to soft keys for quick one push function access. The IC-M330E/GE’s receiver provides reliable communication in RF busy environment like a marina.

The radio monitors CH 70 continuously, even while you are receiving another channel. DSC functions include: distress, individual, group, all ships, urgency, safety, position request/report, polling request and DSC test calls. A built-in GPS receiver provides your location, bearing and speed by using information from GPS, GLONASS and SBAS. The acquired position information can be used for DSC calls. When the IC-M330GE is connected to the optional MA-500TR Class B AIS transponder, the AIS Destination Call feature allows you to make an individual DSC call from the MA-500TR without manual MMSI number on the transceiver to capture.
