Sporting an elegant slim design, this new model has the lightest body in the market for a floating VHF radio....just 220g. New for an Icom, this new radio has a tidy USB connector for convenient charging from a variety of electronic devices. Available in two colours, metallic grey and marine blue, the IC-M25 buoyant marine VHF is extremely comfortable to handle. Its large LCD display and laser cut, curved shape buttons are well laid out and provide simple and straightforward operation. In fact, the IC-M25 LCD screen is 30% larger than its predecessor, the IC-M23, allowing you to clearly see the channel number and status icons.
The IC-M25 provides 5 Watts of transmit power on typical use and allows up to 11 hours of operating time with its internally sealed 1500mAh lithium-ion battery which provides even greater waterproof integrity.
Costumer review about Icom M25 Waterproof Handheld VHF Marine Radio - Blue
Superb product from Icom with convenient USB charging very light and great radio performance, I never go to Sea withought my VHF radio I have Standard Horizon also but the Icom quality is amazing with regards to transmission and reception quality. Battery life more than adequate and can now charge very easily with portable power bank or in car as and when required.I would thoroughly recommend based upon price performance, and if you don't have VHF and you go to Sea you are risking your life to do so mobile phones don't always work and no matter what any manufacturer says I would not rely on any mobile phone surviving a dunking overboard and it certainly won't float like this radio will.
