IC-M25 VHF Marine Transceiver

Three color choices. Smart features.

Three color options plus great features and style are the traits of Icom’s M25 floating marine VHF radio, which floats and flashes when dropped into the water

Sporting a slim design, this handheld has the lightest body in the market for a floating VHF radio….just 7.8oz. New for an Icom marine handheld, this radio requires a USB connector for convenient charging from a variety of electronic devices!

The IC-M25’s LCD is 30% larger than its predecessor, the IC-M24 and shows clearly large channel number and status icons. The buttons on the front panel are well laid out and provide simple and straightforward operation.
