Unboxing the IC-M410BB with Ray Novak

Alright. Today, we're gonna look at the M four ten. Nicely tucked away in the gift box. Will be the M four ten five ten BB manual. Various cables the HM one ninety five, the OPC fifteen forty. The hardware kit to mount the cable inside here is a radio along with power cable and mounting screws. HM one ninety five command mic, The body of the m four ten b b, OPC fifteen forty, the DC power cable, the bulkhead mount kit for the microphone jack, which you have a cover for it when it's not in use. And then the remote mounting hardware for the body. And then we have the common manual for the M four ten BB and M five ten BB. The boxes are the same size, as well as the mounting hardware. So it makes the template for your bulk mount as well as where the radio can position on your flat surfaces. What we're going to do, use just a little bit of the cabling, to connect the microphone. It has a keyed mark, the same with the connection into the body of the radio. And it will have a lock point that you can feel it snap into place. So what we'll look at next is the bulkhead mount kit. Bulkhead mount kit comes with the bracket for the microphone, the command mic to snap into. As well as the bulkhead mount. The bulkhead mount works nicely with the nylon net kit here. And what allows you to do is everything lines up with a keyed spot, nylon nut back down to tighten it and mount the hardware. And then when the boat's in storage, you've got your cap that will secure and keep the elements out of it. One last connection worth talking about is the black in yellow wire coming off the OPC fifteen forty. This is for a remote speaker connection. So rather than it coming off the back of the radio, it's actually at the bulkhead where you can mount speaker close to where the captain will be on the boat.
