IC-M24 VHF Marine Transceiver

Float ' N Flash Icom pioneered the floating VHF marine radio and others followed. Setting a new trend yet again, The IC-M24 has a flashing light feature that activates when the radio hits water, even if the power is off! If you drop this floating radio overboard, it' s easier to find than ever, day or night. Float ' n flash* With its innovate flashing red LED light, an overboard IC-M24 is easy to find, day or night. The light flashes even if the radio is turned off. * US patent pending. AquaQuake draining function The vibrating " buzz" sound clears water away from the speaker grill. Smallest and lightest in the world As a 5W VHF marine transceiver, the IC-M24 has the smallest and lightest body in the world.* * As of December, 2010, researched by Icom. Energy-saving 3.7V circuitry The IC-M24 is powered by the 3.7V Lithium-Ion battery pack, BP-266, to reduce the volume and weight of the radio. A newly developed PA circuit produces 5W ( approx.) RF output and powerful 600mW ( typ.) audio even at this low voltage, while saving battery consumption for 10 hours of operating time. * Typical operation with Tx ( Hi) : Rx: standby= 5: 5: 90. Easy to see large LCD The large, easy to see LCD ( 32 × 16 mm) offers a clear 2-digit channel number indication. Built-in regular charger circuitry Recharge the IC-M24 by plugging the wall charger directly in to the radio. By eliminating exposed metal charging points, the IC-M24 is even more protected from water damage. Volume loud and mute functions The volume loud/ mute functions temporarily change the volume to the maximum/ minimum level with two touches of a button. Depending on the background noise level, you can easily change the volume level to capture the received message.
