Icom M73EURO Handheld VHF Radio – Rugged, High-Performance VHF for Demanding Marine Environments

The Icom M73EURO is a professional-grade handheld VHF radio designed for demanding maritime users who prioritise durability, clarity, and maximum transmission range. With 6W output power, a slim, tough body, and enhanced audio capabilities, the M73EURO is built to perform in commercial, racing, and offshore environments where reliable communication is non-negotiable.

Key Features:

• 6W High Transmit Power for Extended Range
  The M73EURO delivers 6 watts of RF output, providing extended communication range compared to standard 5W models—particularly valuable when operating in open water or around signal-obstructing terrain.
• Slim, Robust Construction
  Despite its high power and feature set, the M73EURO maintains a sleek, compact profile (only 52.5mm wide) and weighs just 320g. It’s built with a rugged aluminium chassis and designed to meet the rigours of heavy onboard use in both recreational and commercial settings.
• Superior Audio Performance
  Featuring 700mW of loud audio output, the M73EURO ensures that messages are heard clearly in noisy environments such as engine rooms, RIBs, or busy race pits. Icom’s Bridge-Tied Load (BTL) amplifier boosts speaker output, and the Active Noise Cancelling technology significantly reduces background noise during both transmission and reception.
• IPX8 Waterproof Protection
  Rated IPX8, the M73EURO is waterproof to 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes, making it one of the most water-resistant handheld VHFs available. Perfect for offshore conditions or heavy exposure on deck.
• Long Operating Time – Up to 18 Hours
  The supplied 2000mAh Li-ion battery offers impressive endurance, with up to 18 hours of typical use on a single charge—ideal for extended duty cycles or long racing days.
• AquaQuake™ Draining Function
  Automatically clears water from the speaker grille using low-frequency vibrations, helping maintain clear audio performance even after exposure to spray or immersion.

• Dual and Tri-Watch channel monitoring
• Instant access to Channel 16 and programmable call channel
