Description

The ICOM IC-M73 EURO PLUS is a slim, powerful VHF handheld radio with professional features.

The design of the radio is not only modern, but also ergonomic and therefore easy to operate. Thanks to its sturdy housing, it is a durable and reliable device. Its high-contrast LC display can be read from a wide viewing angle.

Waterproof according to IPX8
The IC-M73 EURO PLUS offers the best possible protection against water ingress. It can be immersed in water at a depth of 1.5 m for up to 30 minutes without being damaged.

700 mW AF power
A BTL (Bridge-Tied-Load) AF amplifier is used, which can deliver an AF power of 700 mW to the loudspeaker so that the remote station can be heard even in noisy environments.

6 W HF output power
The output power of 6 W enables a large radio range. The powerful Li-ion battery BP-245H enables up to 16 operating hours under normal conditions.

Active Noise-Canceller
for the suppression of disturbing ambient noise. The built-in electronics work during transmission and reception and can reduce background noise by up to 90 %. This increases intelligibility - hear better and be heard better.

Recording function / Last call voice recording
Up to one minute of the last incoming radio call is automatically recorded so that important calls are not missed. Recording can also be started manually.

Bass booster function
It delivers a clearly intelligible bass sound when receiving and transmitting. A signal processor boosts the low-frequency part of the voice signal spectrum, which optimizes the sound of the voice on the transmitting and receiving side.

If you have an ATIS number for inland radio, you can store it in your handheld radio. In countries such as the Netherlands or Belgium, the handheld radio may also be used without restrictions in inland areas.

In Germany (or France), on the other hand, it is forbidden to use handheld radios in a traffic area other than "radio on board" and this in turn is taboo for small vessels (<20m). This means that recreational boaters are de facto prohibited from using a handheld radio in the German inland area.

Anyone who does so anyway is committing an administrative offense (offence no. 22.240510). This may result in a warning fine (55 euros) or even a higher fine.
