HANDHELD VHF MARINEIC-M1 photo TRANSCEIVER

Waterproof protection you can count on!

Waterproof construction

The IC-M1 is waterproof! Designed for reliable operation under severe marine conditions. Torrential downpours, heavy seas - no problem for this transceiver.

Easy-to-operate

A larger, easy-to-read display shows operating status at a glance. All switches are intuitively positioned and well spaced, allowing easy operation with only one hand - even while wearing gloves!

Ultra high speed scan functions

High-speed scanning of 28 channels/sec. provides quick and effective signal searching. In addition, the IC-M1 has an automatic scan start feature: after standing by for 30 sec., scan starts automatically.

The IC-M1 comes with:

  • Battery pack (BP-185)
  • Battery charger (AD-58)
  • AC adapter (BC-122A)
