Lightweight and Compact Body

The IC-M25 is the lightest weight floating marine radio* (218 g; 7.7 oz). Its slim depth (30.5 mm, 1.2 in) can be comfortably operated with one hand. These features make it easier to equip, carry and operate for a long time.
*As of June 2022, researched by Icom.

Float’n Flash™

If you accidentally drop the IC-M25 into the water, it will float, flash and sound an alarm. The buoyancy, the flashing light, and the sound reduce the risk of loss at sea.

11 Hours of Battery Life

The built-in 1570 mAh (typical) Li-ion battery realizes 5 Watts (approx.) output power and 11 hours of operation*. 
* Typical operation with Tx (Hi): Rx: Standby=5:5:90

700 mW Audio Output

The IC-M25 provides a powerful 700 mW (typical) audio output and received voice can be heard loud and clear. 

Easy-to-Use

On the front panel, the function keys are good-sized and simply laid out. The large display features big channel numbers supporting 4-digit channels and automatic backlighting.

USB Charging (Micro-B USB type)

The IC-M25 adopts a micro-B USB charger connector* widely used on mobile devices. The built-in Li-ion battery pack can be charged quickly in three hours (approx.).
*The IC-M25 accepts 5 V/1 A (Max.) input. Use of third-party products is not guaranteed.

Optional Speaker-Microphone, HM-213

The optional waterproof speaker-microphone, HM-213, provides commercial grade convenience while mounting the radio on the waist. The radio floats even when the HM-213 is attached.
