Introduction
|
Evolution of the Popular Marine Radio
The IC-M25 EVO is an upgraded model of the extremely popular IC-M25 floating VHF marine handheld transceiver. The IC-M25 EVO is designed with an improved grip texture for easier handling, and larger buttons for easier operation. Moreover, it has adopted a new power-saving Eco Mode which will allow approximately about 14 hours of operation, which is about a 30% improvement. Furthermore, a USB Type-C™ charging port is standard. The IC-M25 EVO still retains its compact and lightweight body, and industry leading Float'n Flash™ and submersible design. |
Features
| Float’n Flash™ | If the IC-M25 EVO is accidentally dropped into water, it floats, flashes, and emits an alarm, reducing the risk of loss during water activities. |
| Enhanced Practical Design | The IC-M25 EVO features an improved side grip texture for a secure, anti-slip hold even with wet hands. Large, user-friendly buttons ensure easy operation for channel navigation and many other functions. |
| Lightweight and Compact Body | Weighing just 228 g (8.0 oz) and with a slim body depth of 31.2 mm (1.2 in), the IC-M25 EVO is lightweight and easy to carry for extended periods. |
| USB Type-C™ Charging Port |
The USB Type-C™ port provides convenient charging and charges the battery pack in approximately three hours. Charging with portable batteries (user supplied) provides added convenience and mobility.
USB PD is not supported. |
| AquaQuake™ | The AquaQuake™ water draining function prevents audio degradation from a water-logged speaker. It removes water from the speaker grill by vibrating the speaker cone. |
| Loud and Clear Audio | With a powerful 700 mW audio output, the IC-M25 EVO delivers loud and clear sound, ensuring reliable communication even in noisy environments with engine noise or wind interference. |
| Extended Battery Life | The IC-M25 EVO offers up to approximately 14 hours of operation with its power-saving Eco Mode. |
| IPX7 Waterproof Construction | Waterproof protection equivalent to IPX7 (1 m depth of water for 30 minutes). |
| Battery Life Indicator | 4-step battery life indicator allows users to easily monitor remaining battery level. |
| Power Save Function | 2-step power save function helps reduce power consumption and extend operating time. |
| Weather Channel with Weather Alert | Built-in weather channel with weather alert function for monitoring weather conditions. |
| Dual/Tri-watch Functions | Allows monitoring of priority channels while receiving other channels. |
| Instant Access to CH 16 | Provides instant access to Channel 16 or a programmable call channel. |
| Favorite Channel Function | Allows quick access to frequently used channels. |
| Monitor Function | Opens noise squelch for monitoring weak signals. |
| Auto Scan Function | Automatically scans channels to locate active communications. |
