The Icom IC-M605 wins the NMEA Award a fifth year in a row.

At this year’s NMEA Product of Excellence Awards Banquet, Icom’s IC-M605 was presented the Marine VHF of the Year award for the fifth year in a row, keeping our eight-year streak alive. The IC-M506 previously received this award from 2014 – 2016.

The IC-M605 is not just a radio. It is an on-board communications system that allows smooth operation essentially anywhere on the vessel. By being able to remotely control up to three controllers with the HM-195 series COMMANDMIC™, the IC-M605 gives boaters flexibility and never have to be tied to one station again. The reason the IC-M605 continues to be popular year after year is because it has top-of-the-line features and functions such as a 4.3-inch LCD color display with a near 180-degree viewing angle for the highest visibility, an integrated AIS receiver, and an intuitive user interface.
