Icom IC-M25 EURO Marine VHF Radio | Buoyant & Waterproof
If you are heading out on the water, staying connected is your top priority. The Icom IC-M25 EURO Marine VHF Radio in stylish grey offers the perfect blend of safety, convenience, and sleek design. Weighing just 220g, this ultra-lightweight transceiver is built to handle the unpredictable marine environment while keeping your communications crystal clear. Whether you are a leisure boater or a marine professional, this radio ensures you are always heard.
Why choose the Icom IC-M25 for marine use?
The IC-M25 is specifically engineered for life on the water. Its standout feature is its buoyancy—if you accidentally drop it overboard, the radio floats to the surface. To make retrieval even easier, it features a flashing red LED light on the rear panel, alongside a flashing LCD and key backlight, ensuring you can spot it quickly, even in the dark. It maintains this buoyancy even if you attach the optional HM-213 waterproof speaker microphone.
How long does the battery last, and how do I charge it?
You can rely on the built-in 1500mAh lithium-ion battery to provide approximately 11 hours of continuous operation, giving you peace of mind during long trips. When it is time to recharge, the IC-M25 makes it incredibly easy with a standard Micro-B USB connector. You can charge it in about three hours using the supplied AC adaptor, or conveniently top it up using third-party USB chargers like cigarette lighter adapters or mobile power banks.
Is the radio easy to operate in rough conditions?
Absolutely. Despite its slim 30.5mm profile, the radio features a large LCD display that is 30% larger than previous models, making channel numbers and status icons easy to read at a glance. The laser-cut, curved buttons are intuitively laid out for straightforward operation. Plus, with a powerful 550mW audio output, incoming voices are loud and clear over engine noise or crashing waves. You also get instant access to Channel 16 for emergencies.
