Evolution of the Popular Marine Radio
The IC-M25 EVO is an upgraded model of the extremely popular IC-M25 floating VHF marine handheld transceiver. The IC-M25 EVO is designed with an improved grip texture for easier handling, and larger buttons for easier operation. Moreover, it has adopted a new power-saving Eco Mode which will allow approximately about 14 hours of operation, which is about a 30% improvement. Furthermore, a USB Type-C™ charging port is standard. The IC-M25 EVO still retains its compact and lightweight body, and industry leading Float'n Flash™ and submersible design.
Float’n Flash™
If the IC-M25 EVO is accidentally dropped into water, it floats, flashes, and emits an alarm, reducing the risk of loss during water activities. Icom has led the marine handheld radio industry with this technology since the introduction of the IC-M33 in 2006.
Enhanced Practical Design
The IC-M25 EVO is built for practicality, featuring an improved side grip texture for a secure, anti-slip hold even with wet hands. Enlarged user-friendly buttons ensure easy operation for channel navigation.
Lightweight and Compact Body
Weighing just 228 g (8.0 oz) and with a slim body depth of 31.2 mm (1.2 in), the IC-M25 EVO is lightweight and easy to carry for extended periods. Its compact body allows for seamless one-handed operation during activities.
Power Saving Eco Mode Realizes 14 Hours Operation
The IC-M25 EVO offers up to 14 hours* of extended operation with its power-saving Eco Mode. By reducing transmit power to 2.5 W, the operating time increases by approximately 30% compared to the standard 5 W output. This long battery life makes it ideal for your adventures.
* Typical operation with Tx (Mid): Rx: Standby=5:5:90
Two Color Selections
The IC-M25 EVO has two color options: Black or Marine Blue. You can choose one to match your style and adapt to different operating conditions. Whether you prefer the versatility of Black or the high visibility of Marine Blue, these choices ensure both functionality and style on the water.
USB Type-C™ Charging Port
Adopting a USB Type-C™ port, which is commonly used worldwide, it charges the battery pack in approximately three hours. Additionally, charging with portable batteries* (user supplied), provides added convenience and mobility.
* USB PD is not supported.
AquaQuake™
The AquaQuake™ draining function prevents audio degradation from a water-logged speaker. This function removes water from the speaker grill by vibrating the speaker cone. Even if you get splashed by rain or waves, you can quickly restore the clear audio with AquaQuake™.
Loud and Clear Audio
With a powerful 700 mW audio output, the IC-M25 EVO delivers loud and clear sound, ensuring reliable communication even in noisy environments with engine noise or wind interference.

CloseCloseIngress Protection (IP) Code
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings define the level of protection provided by enclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects (dust) and liquid into the electrical equipment.
International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealing characteristics of electrical equipment.
The classification system uses the “IP” code, or “Ingress Protection” code, to define the level of seal.
An IP number contains two numbers (i.e. IP67) in most instances which relate to the level of protection provided by an enclosure or housing.
Either number may be shown as “X” (i.e. IPX6 / IP7X) to indicate the “X” part is not tested.
Degrees of Solid Particle Protection – 1st Digit
| IP6x | No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact. (Dust tight) |
|---|---|
| IP5x | Protected from the amount of dust that would interfere with normal operation. (Dust protected) |
Degrees of Liquid Ingress Protection – 2nd Digit
| IPx8 | Protected against continuous immersion in water. Depth and duration specified by model. |
|---|---|
| IPx7 | Protected against temporary immersion in water for 1 m (3.3 ft) for 30 minutes |
| IPx6 | Protected against water projected by powerful jets from any direction. 100 L per minute by a powerful jets (12.5 mm) for 3 minutes. |
| IPx5 | Protected against water projected by jets from any direction. 12.5 L per minute by a nozzle (6.3 mm) for 3 minutes. |
| IPx4 | Protected against water splashed against the equipment from any direction |
