Marine Radios

Marine radios for commercial vessels, workboats and recreational boating.

This range covers fixed-mount marine VHF radios such as the GME GX400 and GX700 and ICOM IC-M510E, waterproof handheld radios including the Icom IC-M37E and Uniden MHS157UV, GMDSS-certified handhelds like the Entel HT649P2, and long-range options including the Icom IC-M804 MF/HF transceiver and the IC-SAT100M satellite push-to-talk radio.

When choosing a marine radio, check DSC (digital selective calling) and GPS support, waterproof and floating ratings, and whether your vessel needs GMDSS-approved equipment. VHF marine radios need an operator’s certificate in Australia.

Marine radios for reliable communication at sea

When you’re out on the water, clear, dependable communication can be the difference between routine operations and emergency response. Marine radios ensure safe navigation, vessel coordination and compliance with maritime regulations, whether you’re running a commercial fleet, skippering a fishing vessel or enjoying recreational boating.

At Radio Industries, we supply marine-grade VHF radios trusted for their long-range performance, rugged durability and clarity in harsh maritime conditions. Many of the marine radios we stock are built to IP67 to IP68 ingress protection, so they’re waterproof, submersible and resistant to dust, even in rough seas or heavy spray.

Marine compliance and safety

In Australia, marine VHF radios fall under ACMA regulations and need an operator’s certificate for transmitting on marine channels. Commercial vessels may also have equipment requirements set by AMSA. We help make sure your radios meet Australian requirements, are correctly programmed for local marine channels and include safety features suited to your vessel.

Marine Radios FAQs

Do I need a licence for a marine VHF radio?

In Australia you need a marine radio operator's certificate to transmit on VHF marine channels. See the ACMA for details.

What is DSC on a marine radio?

Digital Selective Calling lets you send an automated distress alert with your vessel's identity and, with GPS, your position, at the press of a button.

Should I choose a handheld or fixed-mount marine radio?

A fixed-mount radio has more power and range with an external antenna. A waterproof handheld is ideal as a backup or for tenders and small craft. Many vessels carry both.

Do any marine radios float?

Yes. Selected handheld models are designed to float, which helps prevent loss if dropped overboard. Check the product details.

Do you supply GMDSS radios?

Yes, including the Entel HT649P2. Call 1300 266 682 to confirm what your vessel requires.
