If you’re considering purchasing an Icom M803 SSB radio, choosing the right dealer makes all the difference. At Sea-Tech Systems, we go beyond selling the radio—we provide a seamless setup experience, expert support, and added value you won’t find elsewhere. Here’s why buying your M803 from Sea-Tech Systems is the best decision for your long-range communications needs:
1. Pre-Programmed Radios for a Better Experience
Unlike other dealers, Sea-Tech Systems programs every Icom M803 SSB radio before it ships. This ensures you’re ready to hit the waves with all the features you need, right out of the box.
• Enabled Features: We unlock powerful capabilities like Speech Compression and VFO Tuning Mode, which are not enabled by the factory. These features significantly enhance the radio’s performance but require dealer programming to activate.
• Custom Channel Lists: We also pre-load a common list of nets and channels for your convenience. While other users may spend hours manually programming these one by one, Sea-Tech customers enjoy bulk-loaded settings that save time and effort.
You can view our custom channel list on our Marine SSB products page
2. Avoid Additional Costs and Hassles
Customers who purchase their M803 radios from other dealers often realize too late that they need these desired features and channels enabled. To get them, they must find a dealer who offers programming—like Sea-Tech Systems—and pay additional fees for programming services. Not to mention, they’ll need to cover the cost of shipping the radio back and forth for the upgrade.
When you buy from us, programming is free and included in the purchase price. No extra costs, no extra hassle.
3. Complete SSB Radio Packages
Sea-Tech Systems also offers complete SSB radio packages at discounted rates, including:
