To install the transceiver for dashboard mounting, attach the supplied rubber feet to the mounting bracket as above so that the transceiver can be moved to suit your operation needs; or use the supplied hardware as shown at left for fixed installation.

Rear panel connections

The transceiver requires at least 4 cable connections:

  • Supplied DC power cable (OPC-077)
  • Ground cable
  • Antenna coaxial cable
  • Supplied microphone (EM-48)

(1) DC power cable

Connect the cable to a 13.6 V DC power source (at least 30 A) directly. See the diagram below and p. 8 for details.

(2) Ground cable

The transceiver MUST have an adequate ground connection. See p. 8 for details.

(3) Antenna coaxial cable

Connect a 50 Ω coaxial cable with a PL-259 connector. See p. 8 for details.

2 INSTALLATION

■ Installation example

The following diagrams show a typical installation of the IC-M600 with the AT-120E. Installation consists of the following 5 major components:

  • IC-M600 HF MARINE TRANSCEIVER
  • AT-120E HF AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER
  • DC power source
  • Antenna
  • Ground

(1) IC-M600 installation

See pgs. 5 and 6 for installation and connections.

(2) Optional AT-120E installation

The AT-120E ensures a matched condition between the transceiver and antenna at all times. See p. 9 for installation and connection procedures.

(3) DC power source

The IC-M600 requires regulated DC power; 13.6 V and at least 30 A. See p. 8 for the power cable connections.

(4) Antenna

The AT-120E requires an antenna wire or element at least 7.6 m (25 ft.) long for covering all HF marine bands. See pgs. 8 and 9 for more information.

(5) Ground

Proper grounding is very important. See p. 8 for a transceiver and tuner ground system example.

• Installation example with the optional AT-120E
AT-120E Ground Coaxial cable IC-M600 to [ANT] AT-120E to [TUNER] Ground (See p. 8) AT-120E control cable

Ground connections

The transceiver and antenna tuner MUST have an adequate ground connection. Otherwise, the overall efficiency of the transceiver and antenna tuner installation will be reduced. Electrical shocks and interference from other equipment could also occur.

For best results, use the heaviest gauge wire or strap available and make the connection as short as possible.

For wooden or fiberglass boats, make the ground connection to the engine block or other large metal objects, or use a copper ground plate, etc. See the diagram at right for an example of grounding.

  • Ground system example
    ICOM ICM600 - Ground connections - 1

Antenna connections

Most stations operate with a whip or long wire (insulated backstay) antenna. However, these antennas cannot be connected directly to the transceiver since their antenna impedance is not matched with the transceiver antenna connector. Keep the following procedures in mind:

  • Whip or long wire antennas require an optional AT-120E HF AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER or an optional MN-100 or MN-100L ANTENNA MATCHER. (p. 9)
  • A 50 Ω impedance antenna is required. Ask your Icom Dealer for details.

• PL-259 connector attachment
Coupling ring 30 mm 10 mm (Soft solder)

1) Slide the coupling ring over the coaxial cable.

3) Slide the connector body onto the cable and solder.

ICOM ICM600 - Antenna connections - 4
4) Screw the coupling ring onto the connector body.
1 mm = 1/32 in

Power source

The IC-M600 requires regulated DC power: 13.6 V and at least 30 A. There are 3 ways to supply power:

  • Connect the power cable directly to the 12 V battery in the boat.
  • Connect an optional PS-60 DC POWER SUPPLY to use an AC outlet.
  • Connect an optional PS-66 DC-DC CONVERTER to use a 19\~32 V DC power source.

CAUTION: The supplied DC power cable MUST be used to provide power to the transceiver. AVOID exceeding the 3 m (10 ft.) of length of the DC power cable. If it is necessary to make a run of over 3 m, use #6 or a similar cable instead of the supplied DC power cable for a maximum run of 6 m (20 ft.).

• DC power cable connection

CAUTION: Cables MUST be connected to the terminals of a 12 V battery when using a battery as the power source.

OPERATING RULES AND GUIDELINES

Before transmitting, monitor the channel you wish to use so as to avoid interrupting transmissions already in progress.

(1) Call procedures

Calls must be properly identified and time limits must be respected.

1) Give your call sign each time you call another vessel or coastal station. If you have no call sign, identify the station by giving your vessel name and the name of the licensee.
2) Give your call sign at the end of each transmission that lasts more than 3 min.
3) You must break and give your call sign at least once every 15 min. during long ship-to-shore calls.
4) Keep your unanswered calls short, less than 30 sec. Do not repeat a call for 2 min.
5) Unnecessary transmissions are not allowed.

(2) Priorities

1) Read all the rules and regulations pertaining to priorities and keep an up-to-date copy handy. Safety and distress calls take priority over all others.
2) False or fraudulent distress signals are prohibited and punishable by law.

(3) Privacy

1) Information overheard but not intended for you cannot lawfully be used in any way.
2) Indecent or profane language is prohibited.

(4) Logs

1) All distress, emergency and safety calls must be recorded in complete detail. Log data activity is usually recorded in 24 hour time. Universal Time (also known as UTC) is frequently used.
2) Adjustments, repairs, channel frequency changes and authorized modifications affecting electrical operation of the equipment must be kept in the maintenance log; entries must be signed by the authorized licensed technician performing or supervising the work.

(5) Radio licenses

SHIP STATION LICENSE

When your craft is equipped with an HF marine transceiver such as the IC-M600 you must have a current radio station license before using the equipment. It is unlawful to operate a ship station which is not licensed.

Inquire through your Icom Dealer or the appropriate government agency for a Ship Radiotelephone License application. This government-issued license states the call sign which is your craft's identification for radio purposes.

OPERATOR'S LICENSE

A Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit is the license most often held by small vessel radio operators when a radio is not required for safety purposes. You can usually obtain this permit by mail.

The Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit must be posted or kept with the operator. Only a licensed radio operator may operate a transceiver.

However, non-licensed individuals may talk over a transceiver if a licensed operator starts, supervises, and ends the call, and makes the necessary log entries.

Keep a copy of the current government rules and regulations handy.
