Icom UK is pleased to announce that the all-new IC-M430E fixed VHF/DSC marine radio is now available from authorised Icom marine dealers throughout the UK and Ireland.

Whether you're fitting out a sailing yacht, powerboat, commercial workboat or an open RIB, modern helms and consoles are busier than ever. Finding enough depth behind the dashboard for electronics can be a real headache. The IC-M430E is designed to take that stress away measuring just 52.6 mm deep, it’s less than half the depth of previous models like the IC-M423GE and easily fits into tight spaces where standard radios simply can’t go.

Fitting it is straightforward, too. A simple front-mounting setup with snap-on edge trims means you can secure it neatly from the front of the console…no more awkward fiddling with brackets in blind spaces behind the dashboard.

Despite its slim size, the IC-M430E delivers the full power, build quality, and comprehensive features you expect from a top-tier fixed VHF:

  • Vibrant Colour TFT Screen: Easy to read at wide angles, with simple switching between bright daytime view and a dedicated night mode that won't ruin your night vision on the water.
  • Built-in GPS & Easy Networking: Features an internal GNSS receiver and antenna as standard, with plug-and-play NMEA 2000® and NMEA 0183-HS connectivity to share data smoothly with your chartplotter or MFD.
  • Dual-Station Flexibility: Add an optional HM-195 CommandMic™ to run full radio controls, DSC distress calling, and an onboard intercom from a flybridge, second helm, or cockpit.
  • Clear, Dependable Safety Tools: Packed with 25 W output, Class D DSC, Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), a 25 W two-way hailer with automatic foghorn patterns, and a built-in antenna check to keep an eye on your setup’s health.
  • Everyday Protection: For open consoles, open dayboats, and RIBs, the optional MBZ-3 silicone cover keeps salt spray and harsh UV rays off the front panel when not in use.
The IC-M430E carries a suggested retail price of £475.00 (inc. VAT) and is available to order now.
