Icom M25 Handheld Buoyant Floating VHF Radio
Product Description
We really like this compact handheld M25 VHF, it has so many great features to that its difficult to know where to begin but mixed with style are the the fact that this buoyant marine VHF radio floats and flashes when dropped into the water ensuring at least a slim chance of retrieving should it be dropped overboard. Sporting an elegant slim design, this new model has the lightest body in the market for a floating VHF radio, just 220g also new for an Icom, this new radio has a tidy USB connector for convenient charging from a variety of electronic devices.
