ICOM IC-M34 VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER

It floats!

Introducing the world/'/s first*1 5W VHF marine transceiver that floats! If you drop the IC-M34 into water, the radio comes up to the surface so that you can easily retrieve it from out of the water. As the radio has a rugged submersible body*2, it will keep on working even after it has been submerged. Reliable marine communications that won/'/t let you down in or out of your boat!

When floating in calm water, the base of the radio is level with the water surface.

*1 First as a 5W VHF marine handheld transceiver as researched by Icom as of November 2006.
*2 1m depth for 30 minutes, equivalent to IPX7. The IC-M34 is not designed to be used under water.
