Class B AIS Transponder Receiving Both Class A and B AIS Signals!

The MA-510TR is a class B AIS transponder that offers modern navigation safety with an output power of 2 watts. The MA-510TR automatically shares your vessel information with other AIS transponders and receivers (Class B data). The 510TR has a 4.3” color TFT LCD with wide viewing angles to show navigational details clearly and accurately. If you want to contact another vessel, you no longer need to locate and type in its 9-digit MMSI number - the MA-510TR does this automatically.

If you’re looking to share the AIS data on a larger screen, the MA-510TR is capable of sharing information with third party chartplotters and other Nav Gear via NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183. When you want the best, get the best. Get Icom. Simply the best.

If you want to keep your fishing spots and location private, you can take advantage of the silent mode function. This allows you to temporarily stop sending out position location by switching off the AIS transmitter.

The MA-510TR is a Class B AIS transponder for Non-SOLAS vessels such as pleasure craft, work-boat and small vessels. Your vessels information will automatically be transmitted at fixed intervals or under base station control. The MA-510TR receives dual AIS channels (Ch. 87B and Ch. 88B) simultaneously and receives both Class A and Class B AIS information.

The Plotter display looks like a marine radar display. North-up, course-up and range zoom from 0.125 NM to 24 NM are supported. The Target list display shows all detected AIS equipped vessels and targets. The Danger list display shows a list of vessels that are within 6 NM CPA and 60 minutes TCPA from your vessel. The Danger list can be sorted by CPA or TCPA order. In addition to these display types, the Detail screen shows various information about the selected AIS target.

When connected to a compatible Icom VHF radio. It's easy to make an individual DSC call. Select a vessel using the MA-510TR's cursor keys and then push the "DSC" button on the MA-510TR. It is not required to input an MMSI number manually.

Up to 100 waypoints can be stored on the waypoint list. The "MOB" button allows you to set a waypoint on your current position instantly.
