   • The IC-M803 ensures reliable communication beyond the horizon.
   • It operates in the MF/HF frequency range and supports Class E DSC (Digital Selective Calling).
2. Integrated GPS Receiver:
   • The IC-M803 includes a GPS receiver that combines GPS, GLONASS, and SBAS functions.
   • It provides position data, course, speed, and UTC information.
   • You can output position data via the NMEA 0183 port for use with other devices.
3. Instant Replay Memory:
   • The Instant Replay function automatically saves received audio.
   • You won’t miss any incoming calls, as you can replay the audio.
4. Advanced RF Direct Sampling System:
   • The IC-M803 employs the latest digital signal processing system, enhancing receiver sensitivity and audio clarity compared to conventional radio systems.
5. HF E-mail Operation:
   • Set up to 160 e-mail frequency channels and connect terminals for a PC and e-mail modem.
   • Ideal for HF e-mail communication.
6. Companion to IC-M605:
