Detailed description

The Icom VHF IC-M25EURO EVO is a next-generation floating handheld marine VHF radio designed for reliability and performance. An evolution of the IC-M25EURO, it features a modernized design, improved ergonomics, and optimized battery life while retaining popular features such as its large LCD screen, Float'n Flash™ system, and AquaQuake™ automatic drainage.

Optimized ergonomics and display

The IC-M25EURO EVO introduces a new design with improved grip, featuring a non-slip surface and larger buttons for easier operation. Available in black or blue, it includes a large LCD screen for clear and rapid reading of essential information.

Advanced power performance and connectivity

This VHF is equipped with a USB-C connector, enabling fast charging in approximately 3 hours. Its battery life is extended up to 14 hours in ECO mode, which automatically switches transmission power from 5 W to 2.5 W to conserve battery. A battery health indicator is integrated for proactive management. The RF output power is 5 W, complemented by a 700 mW audio output for optimal communication clarity. The operating temperature range is from -15°C to +55°C.

Safety, waterproofing, and compliance

The VHF IC-M25EURO EVO includes enhanced safety features, such as the Float'n Flash™ system, which makes it float and flash if dropped in water (manually deactivable), and the AquaQuake™ function for effective speaker drainage. Its construction is IPX7 certified, ensuring waterproofing up to 1 meter of immersion for 30 minutes (with antenna and covers attached). Fault alerts notify the user in case of VHF overheating or low battery voltage. The unit is compatible with the optional HM-213 waterproof microphone. The IC-M25EURO EVO complies with CE directives (Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU, RoHS 2011/65/EU, Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542), UKCA, and RF exposure limits set by the FCC and ISED for professional use.

Market positioning

The Icom IC-M25EURO EVO distinguishes itself from its predecessor, the IC-M25EURO, through refined ergonomics, extended battery life, and the inclusion of a USB-C port for universal charging. Within the segment of floating handheld VHF radios, it offers notable advantages over entry-level or mid-range models from brands like Standard Horizon or Garmin, thanks to its optimized 14-hour battery life in ECO mode and fast charging capability. It targets sailors seeking a reliable and robust communication solution, emphasizing technical performance and ease of use over additional features such as built-in GPS, positioning the IC-M25EURO EVO as a high-performance and durable option for daily navigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Is this VHF waterproof and does it float?

Yes, this VHF is perfectly suited for the marine environment. It has an IPX7 waterproof certification, which means it can be submerged at a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. Additionally, if it falls into the water, it floats and activates its Float’n Flash function (a bright light) to be easily located.

What is the AquaQuake function?

The AquaQuake function is a water drainage system. When the VHF has been wet, this function emits a low-frequency vibration that expels water from the speaker grille, helping to maintain clear and crisp audio quality.

Can an external microphone or speaker be connected?

Yes, there is a speaker/microphone jack, allowing you to connect compatible external audio accessories.

How do dual and triple watch modes work?

These modes allow you to monitor several important channels at the same time:

Dualwatch: Monitors channel 16 while listening to another channel of your choice. Tri-watch: Monitors channel 16 and a priority call channel in addition to the channel you are operating on.

How can I lock the keypad to prevent accidental presses?

To lock the keypad, simply press and hold the [HI/LO]/[P·O] key for one second. A key-shaped icon will appear on the screen to confirm the lock.

What should I do if the speaker sound is muffled after exposure to water?

If the sound becomes weak or muffled after immersion, activate the AquaQuake function. It will use vibrations to clear water from the speaker grille and restore optimal audio quality.

Is the screen sunlight readable?

Yes, the device allows you to adjust screen readability. You can set the contrast to a high (Hi) or low (Lo) level for optimal visibility depending on the lighting conditions.

What type of battery is integrated into the VHF?

The IC-M25EURO EVO VHF is powered by an internal rechargeable battery with a nominal voltage of 3.7 V DC.

What is ECO TX Power mode?

The ECO TX Power mode is an option that allows reducing the transmission power from 5 W to 2.5 W. This is an ideal intermediate setting to conserve battery life while maintaining good range.

Channel scan won't start, why?

Scanning can only start if at least two favorite channels have been previously configured. If no favorite channel is set, or only one, the scanning function will not activate.
