Description and Specifications
IC-M803 SSB Radio (requires tuner)
The IC-M803 is a long-range digital communication radio for any cruiser. Reach both marine and ham frequencies with the Class E DSC MF/HF certification. It is packed with features to keep users safe, such as a distress call button, audio replay, GPS, and more. The intuitive interface of the color TFT display and the similarity of the user interface of the M605 allow for easy operation between the two radios. The IC-M803 also includes an advanced RF direct simple sampling system that improves receiver sensitivity and higher quality audio.
Features:
- Output Power: 150W
- Frequencies: 0.5-29.99 MHz

Users will like the large 4.3" wide viewing angle color TFT display. Clearly see the high-resolution display icons on the LCD screen from numerous positions with the nearly 180-degree wide viewing angle, which provides various installation placement possibilities. The night mode display offers readability in low-light conditions.
Intuitive User Interface
Smoothly operate and sail with the IC-M803’s large main dial and keys to access functions such as accessing MMSI numbers, vessel numbers, and channels with the full alphanumeric keypad. Assign one of the software key functions to the microphone’s programmable button for quick access. Additionally, the head unit offers programmable keys for customizable access.
Emergency Distress Button
The IC-M803’s big and easily identifiable emergency distress button is encased in a spring-loaded cover. Once pressed, a digital distress signal is sent with GPS coordinates and calls for help to other ships or coast stations. The GPS receiver offers GPS, GLONASS, SBAS, position data, speed, and UTC data when using the supplied GPS antenna. Position data may be output from the NMEA 0183 port for use with other devices.
Dedicated DSC Scanning
The dedicated DSC watch-keeping receiver continuously scans the six distress channels in rotation. If you are in process with a DSC call and receive another call, the IC-M803 can switch between calls with the Multiple Task Mode function. 100 MMSI numbers (75 individual/25 group) for DSC calls can be stored with a 10-character name.
Two Minute Memory Instant Replay Memory
The Instant Replay Function allows users to replay up to two minutes of previous conversations or calls. The function constantly loops and records over older audio.
Additional Features:
- NMEA 0183 Version 4.10 data input/output (4800-38400 bps)
- HF email operation with frequency, mode, and bandwidth memorization*

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
When will my order ship?
For in-stock items, orders placed by 4:00 PM EST are eligible to ship the same day. If any item in the order is not currently in stock, shipment timing will depend on availability.
What is your return window?
Eligible merchandise may be returned within 30 days from the date of receipt. All returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before anything is sent back. For the smoothest experience, we ask customers to contact Salina Vita first so we can coordinate the request properly. Returned merchandise must be complete, in its original packaging, and in resalable condition. Items that arrive incomplete, improperly packed, or not suitable for resale may not qualify for return approval.
Are restocking fees possible?
Yes. Approved returns may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 15%. Non-stock items may not be returned. In addition, opened or unsealed DVDs, CDs, and cartography products are non-returnable unless defective. If the product falls into CWR’s excluded media categories—such as opened or unsealed cartography, DVDs, or CDs—it is not returnable unless defective.
If my unit needs warranty service, should I send it back to Salina Vita?
No. Units requiring service, whether under warranty or otherwise, should be returned directly to the appropriate manufacturer, not to Salina Vita. We are always happy to help guide you to the correct manufacturer support path. Absolutely. While the service destination is the manufacturer, we can help you identify the proper support channel and make the process feel more straightforward and well-managed. Units that require service themselves, however, should go directly to the manufacturer under CWR’s policy.
I still have more Questions, can we contact you?
At Salina Vita, we believe premium marine commerce should feel measured, transparent, and reassuring. If you have a question about a shipment, return eligibility, or manufacturer service, contact us before taking the next step and we will guide you with the discretion and clarity your vessel deserves.
