IC-M73EURO portable VHF

The IC-M73EURO portable VHF offers adjustable RF output power in three levels: 6 W (high), 3 W (medium) or 1 W (low). This allows you to adapt communication range to specific conditions and save battery if lower power is sufficient.

The IC-M73EURO is powered by a high-capacity Lithium-Ion BP-245H battery. It provides up to 17 hours of typical use (based on a 5:5:90 cycle: 5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby). Base versions may reach 20 hours of battery life.

Yes, the IC-M73EURO features advanced waterproofing compliant with IPX8 standards. This means it is designed to survive immersion to a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes.

The dimensions of the VHF IC-M73EURO (width × height × depth) are 52.5 × 125 × 30 mm, excluding projections. Its weight is approximately 320 g, including the BP-245H battery, FA-564V antenna, and MB-103 clip.

The IC-M73EURO handheld VHF supports INT (international) and USA channel groups. It is also compatible with the new four-digit marine channels introduced on January 1, 2017.

Yes, the IC-M73EURO is compliant with the U.S. military MIL-STD-810G standard. This ensures its resistance to shocks, vibrations, extreme temperatures (-15°C to +55°C), humidity, and salt spray, making it suitable for demanding marine environments.

The IC-M73EURO’s transmit (Tx) frequency range is 156.000 to 161.450 MHz. The receive (Rx) frequency range is 156.000 to 163.425 MHz, covering all international marine channels.

The AquaQuake™ function is a water drainage technology built into the IC-M73EURO. It emits a sound vibration to expel water from the speaker, ensuring audio clarity is maintained even after the unit has been exposed to water or immersion.

Yes, the IC-M73EURO features a wide-view LCD screen with high brightness. The screen displays bright, easy-to-read characters, ensuring good visibility of information even in bright sunlight or low-light conditions.

The IC-M73EURO VHF includes Dual/Tri-Watch functions. These allow simultaneous monitoring of channel 16 (the emergency channel) and/or a selected calling channel, in addition to the working channel, ensuring no important communication is missed.

The IC-M73EURO VHF is a robust and efficient solution focused on essentials. Unlike its counterpart, the IC-M73EURO PLUS, it does not include voice recording, bidirectional active noise reduction, or bass boost. The IC-M73EURO prioritizes durability and communication power without these additional features.

The IC-M73EURO handheld VHF uses an SMA-type antenna connector with a 50 Ω impedance. This allows connection of the supplied antenna or other antennas compatible with this standard.

Yes, the IC-M73EURO VHF has an external speaker output. It can deliver 200 mW of audio power to an external speaker (at 10% distortion, 8 Ω load), which is useful in very noisy environments or for more comfortable listening.

The IC-M73EURO VHF’s BP-245H Lithium-Ion battery is recharged using the supplied BC-210 fast charger. Simply insert the VHF (with the battery) into the charging cradle to start recharging.

Yes, the IC-M73EURO VHF radio includes an automatic power-saving function. This feature extends battery life by optimizing power consumption when the device is in standby or receive mode without compromising performance.

Yes, the IC-M73EURO portable VHF is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. For specific details regarding warranty duration and conditions, please refer to the information provided with the product or contact customer service.

Yes, the IC-M73EURO VHF is designed to be ready for use quickly after receipt. It is supplied with its Lithium-Ion battery BP-245H, an antenna, and a fast charger BC-210, allowing you to put it into service after an initial charge.
