Handheld VHF radio ICOM IC-M73 EURO

The ICOM IC-M73 EURO VHF handheld radio: slim, good-looking, powerful and with professional features.

The design of the radio is not only modern, but also ergonomic and therefore easy to operate. Thanks to the sturdy housing, it is a durable and reliable device. Its high-contrast LC display can be read from a wide viewing angle.

Waterproof according to IPX8
The IC-M73 EURO offers the best possible protection against water penetration. It could be submerged in 1.5 m of water for up to 30 minutes without damage.

700 mW AF power
A bridge-tied-load (BTL) AF amplifier is used, which can deliver 700 mW of AF power to the loudspeaker, making the remote station intelligible even in noisy environments.

6 W HF output power
The output power of 6 W enables a large radio range. The powerful BP-245H Li-ion battery allows up to 18 / 16 hours of operation (basic / plus version) under normal conditions.

The IC-M73 EURO PLUS version has the following additional functions:

• Active Noise-Canceller for the suppression of disturbing ambient noise. The built-in electronics are effective during transmission and reception and can reduce background noise by up to 90 %. This increases intelligibility - hear better and be heard better.
• Last call voice recording: Up to one minute of the last incoming call is automatically recorded so that important calls are not missed. Recording can also be started manually.
• The bass booster function provides a clear bass sound during reception and transmission.  A signal processor boosts the low-frequency part of the voice signal spectrum, optimising the sound of the voice on the transmitting and receiving end.
