The Icom M72 VHF Marine Transceiver features six watts of power and extra durability, in an easy-to-use format and at an outstanding value. 
Compact Body, Great "Form Factor"
A compact design, hourglass body-shape and comfortable side grips give the IC-M72 an outstanding "form factor" - it's easy to use with just one hand!
Highest available power! 6 Watts
The IC-M72's 6 Watts of transmit power can carry a conversation a long way. A large capacity 2000mAh Lithium-Ion battery allows for 15-16 hours of operation, under normal conditions (2 5% Transmit, 5% Receive, 90% Stand-by).
Impressive Force5Audio
The M72's impressive audio output (600mW typ. - 10% distortion, 8ohm load) is loud enough to hear in most any marine environment - even over loud engine noise.
Submersible PLUS (IPX8)
The IC-M72 offers Icom's best-ever protection against water intrusion. This radio has been tested to survive after being submersed in 1.5m (4.9ft) depth of water for 30 minutes.
Wide Viewing Angle LCD
A wide viewing angle, high intensity LCD is used in the IC-M72, offering bright, easy to read characters. The bright LCD backlighting and backlit keypad is great for night time operation.
30% Shorter Antenna
The IC-M72's antenna is engineered to perform with typical Icom efficiency even though it is nearly 30% shorter than previous Icom marine antenna. IC-M72's antenna length is 115mm, or just over 4.5".
