Description
The IC-M73PLUS is the premium edition of Icom's professional handheld marine VHF range, matching the rugged build and core performance of the IC-M73EURO while adding three advanced audio features. A last-call voice recording function automatically captures the last incoming call for up to one minute so you never miss an important message, and Icom's bidirectional active noise cancelling reduces background noise by up to 90% to make both your transmitted and received audio clearer.
A Bass Boost function emphasises low-pitched sound for richer, more intelligible speech on transmit and receive. As with its sister model, the IC-M73PLUS delivers 6 watts of transmit power and a loud 700mW audio output, and is tested to IPX8 for submersion in 1.5m of water for 30 minutes. The slim, hourglass body houses a wide viewing-angle, high-intensity LCD, and the radio supports VOX hands-free operation with the optional OPC-1392 cable. Dual and Tri-Watch, AquaQuake draining, a four-level battery indicator and favourite channel and tag scan functions complete the package. A rapid BC-210 charger is supplied.
