ICOM MA-500TR
Class B AIS
Transponder and Receiver

The MA-500TR is a class B AIS transponder that offers modern navigation safety while matching the clean look of Icom’s award-winning VHF and SSB radios. Give your helm a handsome, harmonious look for fraction of the price. The MA-500TR automatically shares your vessel information with other AIS transponders. If you want to contact another vessel, you no longer need to locate and punch in its 9-digit MMSI number – the MA-500TR does it automatically. AIS information is displayed on the MA-500TR’s own modest (yet clear and bold) screen or, for those who want a larger screen, in an NMEA-standard data stream for use by third-party chart plotters or other onboard navigation gear. When you want the best, get the best. Get Icom. Simply the best.

Because each ICOM MA-500TR AIS Transponder and Receiver can only be programmed once with your personal MMSI number and other information, these units are NOT CANCELABLE or RETURNABLE once your order has been placed. Please fill out the details below. You will need to determine the position of the GPS antenna on board the vessel. You can round the distance to the nearest meter.
