IC-M802k

 
You supply the boat, antenna, and RF ground, and DSR's ICM802k SSB kit does the rest. The M802's flexible three-piece design makes it easy to install: mount the separate control head & speaker at your nav/helm station where space is scarce, and squirrel away the main radio unit in a more seldom used locker or cubby hole. Both the control head and speaker have a generous bezel, making a good looking "flush mount" a snap, even for skippers who are not expert wood workers (requires MB-75 flush Mount Kit).

The ICM802k contains everything you need to for a complete SSB system:

  1. M802 marine SSB transceiver.
  2. AT-140 Antenna Tuner
  3. OPC-1147N tuner control cable (10M - 30+Feet).
  4. GPS data cable w/BNC connector (12').
  5. RG-8 double-shielded coaxial cable (Up to 30')*.
  6. GTO-15 antenna lead-in wire (Up to 20')*.
  7. The "G-TŌ Bug", GTO-15 to Backstay connector.
  8. Copper RF grounding foil (Up to 9', heavy-duty .011 thick 4-inch Wide - Won't dissolve in your bilge).
  9. T-4-500 "common mode" coaxial RF Choke.
  10. Double-male coaxial connector.
  11. RF chokes - FairRites (two XL type-31 snap-on ).
  12. The Sailors Quick-Start Guide to SSB Radio Installation & Operation (a DSR exclusive).
  13. 1-hour expert technical support included.

M802 DSC Antenna Kit

Digital Selective Calling is discussed in detail on pages 15-42 of the M802 Instruction Manual.
 

 DSC802-1

Rail Mount Fits 1" stainless rail

 

Is your M802 hooked-up to receive DSC (digital Selective Calling) emergency & routine calls?

If you have an unused coaxial antenna connector on the back of your M802 you need this kit. This is the antenna that connects to that unused second coaxial connector. What's connected to your DSC antenna connector?

The Icom M802 is actually two separate receivers inside one box; the regular SSB receiver for standard SSB communications, and a dedicated Digital Selective Calling (DSC) receiver. It is this second DSC receiver that listens for DSC calls addressed to your MMSI number (the number you've programmed into your M802). If you don't have an MMSI number DockSide Radio can file for one on your behalf - see FCC Licenses on this web site or call 941.661.4498).

Kit contents:
  1. METZ WEFAX/DSC antenna with mounting bracket.
  2. Rail mount for 1" or 7/8" stainless tubing.
  3. 40-feet RG8x coaxial cable with PL259 connectors on each end.

GPS Data Cable

 GPS-802

The GPS-802 Data Cable solves the problem of getting GPS data into your M802. Simply cut the 12-foot cable to the length you need. On the GPS end connect the center conductor to the GPS data out & the shield to GPS signal ground. On the M802 end simply connect the molded BNC connector to the GPS Input and you're "good-to-go".

The GPS-802 consists of twelve feet of RG-174 mini-coax with a BNC connector factory installed on one end, and wire to connect to GPS + & GPS - on the other end.

IC-M802

Icom M802

Digital SSB with detached control head and separate speaker.
Flexible installation and reliable performance.

A large LCD dial display, well spaced buttons, and large channel selector knobs make the Icom M802 a breeze to use even in rough seas. The Icom M802's "general coverage" receiver pulls in signals from 0.5 MHz to 29.999 MHz, giving you the tuning range that enables you to listen to standard commercial AM radio broadcast, Ham and Marine SSB radio, as well as long-distance shortwave news, weather, and sports (a great feature when at sea). Connect the proper radio modem to your Icom M802, and the M802 becomes the heart of a world-wide e-mail and weather FAX (WEFAX) system.
