|
Introducing the world's first*
5W VHF marine transceiver that floats! If you drop the
IC-M33 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 rugged waterproof body**, 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 actually floating, the base of the
radio is level with the water surface.
* First as a 5W VHF marine
handheld transceiver as researched by Icom as of October
2006.
** 1m depth for 30 minutes, equivalent to IPX7. The
IC-M33 is not designed to be used under the water.
