VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER IC-M72
Powerful, Stylish, Submersible Plus More
Compact body, great "form factor"
A compact design, hourglass body-shape, and comfortable side grips give the IC-M72 an outstanding "form factor" - it's easy to use with just one hand!
6W RF output, long lasting battery
The IC-M72's 6W of transmit power can carry a conversation a long way. A large capacity 2000mAh Lithium-Ion battery allows for 15-16 hours of operation under normal conditions*.
*Tx:Rx:Stand-by=5:5:90 with BP-245/N.
Impressive Force5Audio™
The M72's impressive audio output (600mW typ.*) is loud enough to hear in most any marine environment - even over loud engine noise. (* 10% distortion, 8Ω load)
Submersible PLUS (IPX8)
The IC-M72 offers Icom's best-ever protection against water intrusion. This radio has been tested to survive after being submersed in 1.5m (4.9ft) depth of water for 30 minutes.
