Icom IC-M710 HF SSB Radio with AT-130 Automatic Tuner Unit

Reliable long distance offshore communication

Looking at travelling offshore? The Icom IC-M710 HF SSB Radio is a high frequency radio that enables you to communicate effectively over very long distances. If you are looking at cruising or sailing to Australia, the Pacific Islands or even further abroad a high frequency radio, like the Icom IC-M710 , is your safety essential and life line should trouble come knocking. With the addition of the AT-130 Automatic Tuning Unit you will automatically get tuned into the appropriate channels for your area, no more time spent scanning through and manually setting it up. Perfect for when you need to transmit in a hurry.

The Icom IC-M710 HF SSB Radio can even be set up to read and display basic text e-mails, giving you an extra way to communicate back home.

Rugged construction
The highest quality components are used throughout. Constructed in a die-cast aluminum chassis with surface mount components, the Icom IC-M710 HF SSB Radio is designed for long hours of operation in the harsh marine environment.

Alphanumeric readout
The large, easy-to-read display shoes status at a glance. Seven characters can be programmed into each memory channel to conveniently display station names, ship names, etc.

150 W of output
A full 150 W (PEP) of output power is available for reliable long distance communication. A large cooling fan, in combination with the aluminum chassis, allows continuous transmission at full output power—even during demanding RTTY (radio teletype) and NBDP (narrow band direct printing) operation.

Automatic tuning function
An automatic tuning function is available when using the Icom IC-M710 HF SSB Radio in combination with the optional AT-140 for quick and easy antenna tuning. Tuning is fully automatic. When you push the PTT on a new frequency, the antenna tuner quickly tunes the antenna automatically.

1136 channels
160 programmable, 242 ITU SSB duplex, 72 ITU SSB simplex and 662 ITU FSK duplex channels are available.

Easy to use
Two large memory and frequency dials allow quick and easy operation.
