Icom pioneered the floating VHF marine radio, and others followed. Setting a new trend yet again, the IC-M24 floats and lets you know where it is with the flashing feature. The radio flashes in the water, even when the power is off! And for a floating radio, it is small and lightweight and easy to carry around.
Float'n flash*
With its innovative 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.
Small and lightweight body
As a floating VHF marine transceiver, the ICM24 is small and lightweight and easy to carry around.
Energy-saving 3.7V circuitry
The IC-M24 is powered by the 3.7V Lithium-Ion battery pack, BP-266, to reduce the capacity and weight of the radio. A newly developed PA circuit provides 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. US patent: 8,295,796.
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.
