Icom M430E Fixed DSC VHF Radio

A New Generation of Stylish and Compact Communication

The IC-M430 is a stylish and compact VHF marine transceiver designed for modern vessels. Featuring a slimmer body with a sleek new flush mount method, it blends seamlessly into any helm layout. The color TFT LCD with a wide viewing angle and three display modes — Light, Dark, and Night — ensures clear visibility in any condition. With NMEA 2000™ and NMEA 0183-HS connectivity, the IC-M430 integrates effortlessly into your onboard network.

25 W RF Output with Class D DSC

For safety on the water, the IC-M430 offers 25 watts of transmit power. It provides built-in Class D DSC functionality for the distress calling button and direct calling.

Slimmer Body Fits in Tight Spaces

The compact 202 x 82 x 52.6 mm (8.0 x 3.2 x 2.1 inch) body provides exceptional installation flexibility. The slim depth profile enables installation in limited spaces while maintaining ample clearance behind the radio for proper cable management.

Simplified Flush Mounting

The radio features MFD-style mounting for elegant installation. Screw the radio directly into place, and snap-on body covers hide all mounting hardware for a clean finish. This mounting method is ideal for side pod installations on center console hard tops.

Three Display Modes for Comfortable Operation

First* color display in class. The wide viewing angle and bright screen deliver exceptional readability in any environment. Choose from Light mode, Dark mode, or Night mode, whether operating in direct sunlight or complete darkness, the display remains clearly visible. Seamlessly switch between Day and Night modes with a one-touch button. Backlit operation keys ensure confident operation in the dark.

Flexible System Integration

The radio offers plug-and-play installation via the NMEA 2000™, and also supports NMEA 0183-HS network, enabling data sharing between the radio and other marine electronics. Compatible with Icom MA-510TR, and you can transmit an Individual DSC call to a selected AIS target.

Remote Microphone Installation Options

The included hand microphone can be mounted directly to the front panel or rear-mounted using the extension cable OPC-1000*. For dual-station capability, the CommandMic™* provides full remote control from a second location (cable extension up to 60 ft/18.3 m) and supports intercom functionality between stations. Ideal for sailboat installations requiring a second control position at the helm. A 90° L-type adapter* is a useful addition that helps prevent connector damage.

Built-in GNSS (GPS) Antenna

The IC-M430 features a built-in GNSS receiver with an internal antenna. For installations where satellite reception is limited, such as when mounted inside a cabin or enclosed area, an optional external GNSS antenna UX-241 is available.
