    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:

  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

This is Icom's latest model VHF with both 0183 and NMEA 2000 interfaces, plus a built in AIS receiver. It also includes active noise cancellation and the ability to replay up to the last 2 minutes of reception. This last feature is a great way to listen again to something that you didn't quite catch the first time. The built in AIS receiver picks up Class A and Class B ships, displays them on an LCD screen on the VHF, and transmits the info over the NMEA 2000 bus for display on your chart plotter, radar, or any other compatible device. It has a front-mount mic, and provision to connect a remote mic as well.

This is a really nice VHF. I have two of them installed on my boat, but they are the non-AIS models since I have a full AIS transceiver. This AIS model was purchased as an experiment, but we decided not to mix the AIS receiver with a transceiver, so this one is now for sale. It was installed and used for about a week, but I have all the factory accessories, brackets, packaging, etc. The MMSI number has been factory reset by an Icom service center so you can enter in your own MMSI. It has been upgraded to V1.002 which fixes a number of NMEA 2000 bugs and will save you a $50 service charge (that's what I paid). Please note that the outer box is from my last non-AIS M506, not this exact unit. But all packaging and accessories are the same.

These sell for around $550, and I'm asking $400. If you have been eying one of these, or considering a new VHF with an integrated AIS receiver, here's a chance to save some cash and get a really nice unit.

I've been looking at these too. I'd like to hear more about why you didn't keep this one.

I like the display of AIS data and other features, but I have an AIS transceiver on the NMEA 2000 bus already, and wondered what would happen if I added another receiver like this.

Ideally, I'd want this radio, with the AIS target display, but without the receiver.
