Not Water Resistant.
Mine was past the warranty when it was dropped on the water’s surface. It floated for less than 10 seconds before being retrieved. Water penetrated the case and bricked the radio as the main body seal was not compressed at the antenna end of the case. The groove for the seal was too deep for the case edge to compress the seal at that end. Dunk yours experimentally when it is brand new and still under warranty. We will no longer be using these for shore parties on our expedition boat. ICOM used to deliver better products and support, but no more.

Great radio for inland lakes and waterways!
Great radio! Just a bit of a learning curve to grasp all this radio can do. Floats well and strong signal and battery life. Worth the $$.

Leicht, praktisch und ausdauernd
Das IC-M25 ist sehr leicht und passt ganz gut in eine Ölzeug-Seitentasche, die Antenne ragt dann etwas heraus. Man kann es aber so gut mit sich führen. Eingehende Funksprüche sind gut zu verstehen, die Bedienung realtive einfach, für ein paar Features sollte man sich allerdings die Anleitung von der ICOM Seite herunterladen, da diese in der mitgelieferten Anleitung nicht beschrieben werden. Man kann es so programmieren, dass die meist genutzen Kanäle der Reihe nach angewählt werden, alle anderen werden übersprungen. Das vereinfacht die Bedienung, weil man nicht endlose Kanallisten hoch oder runterwandern muss, sondern mit 2-3 x Knopfdrücken vom Anruf- zum Kommunikationskanal wechseln kann. Ich bin oft einhand unterwegs und kann dann nicht in die Kajüte zum Funken, von daher sinnvolle Ergänzung meiner Sicherheitsausrüstung.Anm1: Ich habe das Gerät auf Standby angestellt gelassen, nach 2 Wochen Dauerstandby ! immer noch halbvoller Akku. Habe auch ab und zu Funk empfangen, das Gerät hat also gearbeitet. Insgesamt Super Leistung.

Great Portable VHF for Marine Use
It’s always a great idea to have a spare portable VHF on your boat. I like to have one stashed in my ditch bag or clipped to my belt/vest when away from the boat. I’ve owned several iCOM radios and they’ve all been great. Compact, good battery life, waterproof enough to survive brief dunkings, and a good feature set. Handy addition to your boat!

Icom is the best
After buying standard Horizon junk, I bought this model from all the great reviews and I love it. Will work great at home for all the weather channels and on our big lake. This unit has excellent reception and power. Unless you’re an professional, this unit should work great for you. Buy it.

Great Brand and Good Product
Icom product, quality MFG and easy to use for what I bought it for, does not have a long range considering what it is but if you want a VHF that can be useful buy this little guy but long range you need a mount with an antenna not a portable.

This radio is a great value. The feel is solid and of good quallity. It’s easy to use, and of a good size to be easily held by a variety of hand sizes. I have been very impressed by the battery life. The adjustments like squelch are easily accomplished and work well. Highly recommended.

Best hand held radio for the price
Because i have a pontoon boat a traditional radio was impractical.Dealer recommended a hand held instead.Very convenient and just as powerful

Calidad y seguridad en el mar
Bueno producto, marca icom garatia de calidad. Se carga con un cable como el del movil. Se escucha bien y fuerte. Lo mejor es que la antena de puede sacar y cambiar en caso de rotura (mi antigua radio no lo tenia y tuve que comprar esta por ese motivo)

VENDEDOR ESTAFA, MUCHO CUIDADO, TE DICE QUE SE HAN MOJADO, SON MARINAS, MANDA HUEVOS.
a la semana de comprarlas y estar en los barcos a veces se mojan y de 7 3 dejaron de funcionar, las enviamos a la casa, se quedan el dinero y te dicen que no cubre la garantía porque se han mojado, en principio las icom son acuáticas y deben aguantar hasta 1 minuto en el agua, en nuestro caso van el en chaleco se mojan solo por raciones, el vendedor te amenaza y se queda el dinero y las emisoras,estamos mirando de recuperar el dinero o las emisoras que funcionen tarea por ahora difícil.-

Great marine radio
Awesome little radio. Does everything I need it to. Volume gets very load so you can here it over the engine and wind noise. Love the one button switch between weather and ch. 16. Looks great as well.

Battery doesn’t hold a charge
I purchased this radio in June of 2020. Everything was working fine. Beginning in the middle of October 2020, the radio battery will not hold a charge. It dies on me as soon as I press the transmit button. Very disappointed in this radio. Would not buy again. Wish I could return it and get my money back.

Great for weather reports but if you need to make a radio call it is pretty much worthless, especially for the price. Hope I never need it for an emergency.

USB charging port is a fatal flaw
This radio has a lot of good features for a very reasonable price (although not so reasonable at Amazon). But it has a couple of features I found annoying (I use a VHF attached to my PFD for sea kayaking), and one problem with waterproofness which prevents me from recommending it.The good:*Slim and lightweight, fits easily into a PFD pocket*AquaQuake™ draining function*Large LCD with LCD auto backlighting – easy to read*Good audio output*Battery life seems very good, kept its charge for a 7 day off shore kayak expedition paddling about 4-5 hours a day.*battery life indicator*weather alert – loud, piercing beep warns of hazardous weather even when not monitoring the Wx channel.*Dual/Tri-watch functionsThe annoying:* Float ‘n Flash – This feature can cause the unit to function sporadically when it gets wet, perhaps mostly when the battery isn’t at full charge. (I had the same problem with the IC M72)* On/off Volume control – push buttons almost impossible to use if paddling in cold conditions and wearing full fingered gloves. They also require looking at the panel, so it doesn’t work to leave it attached to your shoulder: you need to take it off to look at it, which requires a sufficiently long tether. (My next PFD will have better placed pockets, but current one would require putting it in a chest pocket, which risks damaging the unit when performing a rear-deck rescue.)The death knell:The USB charging port seems very convenient at first, and for the life of the product it (surprisingly) never leaked. Until the door popped open when I was performing a roll (may have dragged against my paddle shaft or spray skirt). Instantly fried electronics. Major design flaw – I will stick with base unit chargers from now on.
