Icom pioneered the floating VHF marine radio and others followed. Setting a
new trend yet again, The IC-M24 has a flashing light feature that activates
when the radio hits water, even if the power is off! If you drop this
floating radio overboard, it's easier to find than ever, day or night.
Float 'n flash*
With its innovate flashing red LED light, an overboard IC-M24 is easy to
find, day or night. The light flashes even if the radio is turned off.
* US patent pending.
AquaQuake draining function
The vibrating "buzz" sound clears water away from the speaker grill.
Smallest and lightest in the world
As a 5W VHF marine transceiver, the IC-M24 has the smallest and lightest
body in the world.*
* As of December, 2010, researched by Icom.
Energy-saving 3.7V circuitry
The IC-M24 is powered by the 3.7V Lithium-Ion battery pack, BP-266, to
reduce the volume and weight of the radio. A newly developed PA circuit
produces 5W (approx.) RF output and powerful 600mW (typ.) audio even at this
low voltage, while saving battery consumption for 10 hours of operating
time. *
Typical operation with Tx (Hi): Rx: standby=5:5:90.
Easy to see large LCD
The large, easy to see LCD (32 × 16 mm) offers a clear 2-digit channel
number indication.
Built-in regular charger circuitry
Recharge the IC-M24 by plugging the wall charger directly in to the
radio. By eliminating exposed metal charging points, the IC-M24 is even more
protected from water damage.
Volume loud and mute functions
The volume loud/mute functions temporarily change the volume to the
maximum/minimum level with two touches of a button. Depending on the
background noise level, you can easily change the volume level to capture
the received message.
