At SEANAV, we provide expert repair, servicing, and replacement for the IC-GM1600E, helping maritime operators stay compliant and ready for emergencies.

This transceiver features a waterproof design, high-visibility display, and robust battery life. Because of these features, it performs reliably during critical situations.

Our technicians resolve these issues efficiently and ensure the unit meets SOLAS and GMDSS standards. Moreover, we provide certified service reports after each repair or inspection.

For added convenience, we also supply accessories such as chargers, antennas, and battery packs. These ensure your transceiver is always ready for deployment. Whether you are a fleet manager or vessel operator, SEANAV offers end-to-end support to keep your communication systems operational.
