Icom MA-510TR Class B AIS Transponder with GPS + NMEA 2000®
The Icom MA-510TR is a full-featured Class B AIS transponder with a bright 4.3"
color display, integrated GPS navigation functions, and built-in NMEA 2000® + NMEA 0183/-HS connectivity.
It both transmits and receives AIS signals (Class A and Class B), allowing your vessel to be seen
while providing real-time target awareness at the helm.
Designed for recreational, cruising, and light commercial vessels, the MA-510TR provides collision awareness,
simplified waypoint navigation, and standalone AIS display capability without requiring a separate MFD.
Milltech Take:
The MA-510TR is one of the cleanest standalone AIS transponder solutions on the market.
Large color screen, proper networking (NMEA 2000 + 0183), real transmit power, and simple navigation tools built in.
If you want AIS visibility without relying entirely on your chartplotter, this is a very solid helm upgrade.
True Class B AIS Transmit + Receive (2W)
The MA-510TR transmits your vessel’s position, course, speed, and identity at
2 watts output power, while simultaneously receiving both
Class A and Class B AIS targets.
Making your vessel visible to commercial traffic dramatically increases situational awareness,
particularly at night, offshore, in poor visibility, or in high-traffic waterways.
Large 4.3" Color TFT Display
The bright 4.3" color TFT LCD offers wide viewing angles with
day and night modes. Potential collision vessels are highlighted clearly,
and vessels within user-defined CPA/TCPA limits are sorted into alert categories.
- Danger vessels within CPA/TCPA thresholds are clearly marked
- Friend vessels can be registered and displayed distinctly
- Day mode for direct sunlight visibility
- Night mode for comfortable low-light operation
Built-in GPS Navigation Function
The integrated navigation function allows you to guide to waypoints or AIS targets directly
from the display. Store up to 100 waypoints, including fishing spots,
rendezvous points, or racing marks.
Silent Mode
Silent mode allows you to temporarily disable AIS transmission while continuing to
receive AIS targets. This is useful in specific operational scenarios where you
need privacy while maintaining awareness.
Advanced Safety Features
- Collision Alarm — Visual and audible alerts when vessels enter CPA/TCPA limits
- Anchor Watch — Alarm triggers if your vessel drifts beyond preset limits
- Man Overboard (MOB) — Automatically sets MOB target as navigation destination
NMEA 2000® + NMEA 0183/-HS Connectivity
The MA-510TR supports both NMEA 2000® and NMEA 0183/-HS networking.
It can integrate with chartplotters, radar systems, VHF radios, and other onboard electronics.
- NMEA 2000® backbone connection
- NMEA 0183 / 0183-HS high-speed interface
- Compatible with Icom VHF radios for AIS-initiated DSC calls (with proper cabling)
