ICOM IC-M73 VHF Marine Transceiver — 6W, IPX8 Submersible, Made in Japan

Serious handheld VHF performance with loud, clear audio and rugged waterproof reliability.
The ICOM IC-M73 is a professional-grade handheld VHF built for real marine use—compact, durable, and easy to operate one-handed. It’s known for its slim “hourglass” shape that sits comfortably in the hand, a bright, wide-view LCD that’s easy to read on deck, and strong transmit performance for dependable communication on the water.
 
Selectable 1/3/6W output lets you prioritize range when you need it or conserve battery when you don’t. Calls come through loud and clear thanks to a high-output speaker amplifier, and Icom’s active noise-cancelling helps reduce engine and wind noise so transmissions stay intelligible. With an IPX8 submersible rating and AquaQuake water-draining function, it’s built to keep working after spray, rain, or an accidental dunk.
