Icom IC-M510 PLUS VHF Marine Radio with AIS Receiver
The Icom IC-M510 PLUS is a slim-profile, fixed-mount 25W Class D DSC VHF that adds
something genuinely useful at the helm: an integrated AIS receiver with AIS target viewing right on the
radio’s color screen. It’s a strong upgrade for boaters who want better awareness of nearby traffic without adding a
dedicated AIS display.
A big part of the M510 PLUS story is control and convenience: built-in WLAN lets you use Icom’s
RS-M500 app (iOS/Android) so your phone/tablet can act as a wireless remote, wireless mic, and intercom
station—handy when you’re not standing at the main radio.
Milltech Take:
If you want a modern VHF that’s easy to live with day-to-day, the M510 PLUS is a favorite—big color screen, simple UI,
and smart-device control that actually gets used. The built-in AIS receiver is the real win: it adds traffic awareness
without committing you to a full AIS transponder system.
Integrated AIS Target Display
With its built-in AIS receiver, the IC-M510 PLUS can display nearby AIS vessel traffic on the radio screen.
You can also place an individual DSC call to a selected AIS target directly from the AIS display.
Wireless Control + Intercom via Smart Devices
Use the RS-M500 app (iOS/Android) to control the radio over WLAN. You can connect up to
three smart devices to function as a wireless microphone, a remote controller, and/or an intercom station
between the device and the radio.
Compact, Modern Fixed-Mount VHF
The M510 PLUS is designed for clean installations, including tighter helms where depth behind the panel is limited.
The 3.5" color TFT display and straightforward interface make it a great fit for both casual and
serious boaters.
