Icom UK are pleased to introduce the IC-M73EURO to partner it’s recently launched IC-M73PLUS, which incorporates a voice recording function and Icom’s Active Noise Cancelling Technology. This new model has the basic functions of the “PLUS” version including IPX8 submersion rating, 6 watts high output, long battery life and a compact ergonomic body amongst many other features. As such, it will be ideal for all leisure and commercial customers who want a solid, dependable handheld VHF that they can rely on!

The IC-M73EURO and IC-M73PLUS professional VHF Marine Transceivers are both cosmetically identical. They retain the same durable and rugged body and advanced waterproof protection (1.5m depth for 30 minutes, equivalent to IPX8 rating). These are radios you can use in the rain, snow or any other severe weather conditions!

A lot more has been packed into the higher tier IC-M73PLUS. A “last call” voice recording function automatically saves the last incoming call for 1 minute, very important in clarifying important transmissions that may have been missed.

The IC-M73PLUS also features Icom’s Active Noise Cancelling Technology reducing background noise by up to 90%, making sure you are heard when you really need to, such as when weather conditions are poor or if engines are running. IC-M73PLUS features “Bass Boost” signal processing technology that emphasizes low pitched sound to provide a rich bass sound for both transmit and receive signals. …another enhancement to improved audio quality.

Both models feature excellent audio performance. The internal speaker delivers a loud 600mW output with clear sound even in noisy environments. In addition, a water draining function ejects water from the speaker grille with low frequency sound.

Both models comes as standard with a high capacity Lithium-Ion battery pack which provides up to 18 hours operating time.

These multi featured stylish VHF portables are ideal for any leisure boat owner. The advanced features will also appeal to a range of commercial operators, Marinas and Port Authorities. These durable VHF’s will stand up well for Search and Rescue organisations such as HM Coastguard, RNLI and National Coastwatch stations.
