Description détaillée
Description détaillée
The Icom IC-M73EURO portable VHF is a marine transceiver designed for reliable communication at sea. This model delivers 6 W RF power with extended battery life, all housed in an ergonomic and rugged chassis. It includes essential features for safety and convenience for marine users.
Audio Performance and RF Power
The Icom IC-M73EURO provides 700 mW audio output via its internal speaker, thanks to a BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier for clear sound. Its 6 W RF transmission power (adjustable to 3 W or 1 W) ensures extended communication range. Powered by a Li-Ion BP-245H battery, it offers up to 17 hours of operation in 5:5:90 duty cycle, or 20 hours for the base version. The wide-angle, high-intensity LCD display ensures optimal readability.
Durability and Technical Specifications
The IC-M73EURO meets advanced IPX8 waterproofing standards, allowing it to withstand immersion to 1.5 m depth for 30 minutes. Its rugged design also complies with MIL-STD-810G military standards, including tests for low and high temperature (502.5 I, II), thermal shock (503.5 I-C), vibration (514.6 I), and shock (516.6 I, IV). The frequency range is 156.000–161.450 MHz for transmission and 156.000–163.425 MHz for reception, with ±1.5 kHz stability. Dimensions are 52.5×125×30 mm and weight is 320 g (with BP-245H battery, FA-564V antenna, and MB-103 clip).
Positioning and Advanced Features
Unlike the IC-M73EURO PLUS model, which includes voice recording, active noise reduction, and bass enhancement, the IC-M73EURO focuses on core functionality with solid audio and RF performance, certified durability, and shared IPX8 waterproofing. It includes the AquaQuake water drainage function, dual/triple watch for channels 16 and calling, a 4-level battery indicator, favorite and labeled channel scanning, and support for four-digit marine channels since January 2017. The BC-210 fast charger is included.
