Icom IC-M25 EVO Handheld VHF Radio - Black [M25 EVO BLACK 61 USA]

The black Icom IC-M25 EVO is a compact, floating handheld marine VHF radio with Float’n Flash™ recovery features, USB Type-C™ charging, and up to 14 hours of operation in Eco Mode. An upgrade to the IC-M25, it combines an improved side-grip texture with larger buttons for easier handling and channel navigation, even with wet hands.

Floating, waterproof design

If dropped into water, the IC-M25 EVO floats, flashes, and emits an alarm to help you locate it. Icom introduced this technology with the IC-M33 in 2006. Its IPX7 waterproof construction is rated for immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.

Compact handling and clear audio

The radio weighs 228 g (8.0 oz) and has a body depth of 31.2 mm (1.2 inches), making it easy to carry and operate with one hand. Its 700 mW audio output provides loud, clear sound in environments with engine or wind noise. AquaQuake™ uses speaker-cone vibration to remove water from the speaker grille and help restore audio after splashes or rain.
