The Icom IC-M25EURO EVO in black is an ultra-lightweight, high-performance floating marine walkie-talkie designed to ensure safe, reliable communication in the most demanding nautical environments. Specifically engineered for recreational boaters, sport fishing enthusiasts, and maritime professionals, this compact VHF transceiver combines robust safety features with modern, user-friendly technology. If dropped overboard, the IC-M25EURO EVO floats on the water’s surface and instantly triggers its integrated “Float’n Flash” red LED beacon. This high-visibility flashing light makes locating the radio effortless, even in rough swells, heavy rain, or complete pitch darkness, regardless of whether the unit is turned on or off.
Built to withstand harsh marine conditions, the walkie-talkie features an IPX7 waterproof rating, allowing it to remain safely submerged in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. To maintain optimal audio quality after exposure to water, it is equipped with Icom’s patented AquaQuake™ draining function. This feature emits a low-frequency buzzing sound that uses sound-wave vibrations to rapidly clear any water trapped inside the speaker grill. Additionally, the unit delivers a powerful 700 mW audio output, ensuring that incoming transmissions remain perfectly loud and intelligible even over loud engine noise, rushing wind, and crashing waves.
One of the most notable upgrades of the EVO edition is the integration of a modern, fast-charging USB Type-C™ port, allowing you to charge the radio quickly and efficiently using standard USB-C on-board chargers, power banks, or wall adapters. Power is supplied by a high-capacity 1500 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery that delivers up to 11 hours of active operation, or up to 14 hours of extended runtime when operating in power-saving Eco mode. With a clear, high-contrast backlit LCD screen, immediate access to Channel 16 distress frequencies, and dual/triple watch scanning modes, the IC-M25EURO EVO is an essential safety tool for every vessel.
