Meets GMDSS requirements
The IC-GM651 is a compact VHF radio telephone with Ch 70
watchkeeping receiver and CLASS A DSC functions. The
radio meets the GMDSS requirements as required for SOLAS
regulated commercial vessels engaging in international voy-
ages. With the optional PS-250 DC-DC power supply, the
IC-GM651 also meets MED 96/98/EC, “wheelmark” require-
ments for European merchant ships.
Built-in ITU Class A DSC
An independent DSC receiver constantly watches Ch 70 VHF
DSC channel, while using another channel. The Class A DSC
provides automated distress and safety communication. Re-
ceived distress signals can be relayed to a coast station. A total
of 100 MMSI IDs can be stored with a 10-character name.
PS-250 DC-DC power supply and
PS-240 AC-DC power supply available
The optional PS-250* DC-DC power supply offers stable
12.5V power to the IC-GM651 from a 12V/24V DC
(10.8–31.2V
DC)
power source and provides floating ground connection.
The optional PS-240 AC-DC power supply unit is also avail-
able with the PS-250. When connecting a storage battery to
the PS-240, the PS-240 automatically switches the power
source for backup, even if the AC power fails.
* The PS-250 MUST BE USED with the IC-GM651 for MED certification
compliance.

mote control function to control operating channel and trans-
mit power with dedicated buttons.
