Slim, Stylish, Powerful VHF with Professional Features
M73 Features
Slim, hourglass body and wide viewing angle LCD
The M73 has a stylish, ergonomic design. A durable and rugged body provides
for user-friendly operation and long life. A wide viewing angle, high
intensity LCD offers bright, easy to read characters.
IPX8 Submersible Plus™
The M73 continues to offer Icom’s best waterproof protection. The radio has
been tested to survive after being submersed in 1.5m (4.9ft) depth of water
for 30 minutes.
700mW Loud audio
The M73 uses a BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier that doubles the audio
output. Its internal speaker delivers a loud 700mW audio output with clear
sound.
6W RF Output power
The M73’s 6 Watts of transmit power will provide extended communication
range for the user. A large capacity Lithium-Ion battery allows for 16 hours
of operation, under normal conditions
*.
*Typical operation with 5:5:90 duty ratio. 18 hours
for basic version.
M73PLUS Features
Active noise cancelling technology
The built-in bidirectional active noise cancelling reduces background noise
to up to 90% and improves both your transmitted voice and incoming call. You
will hear better and clearer!
Bass boost function
The signal processing technology emphasizes low-pitched sound to provide a
rich bass sound for both transmit and receive signals.

incoming call for 1 minute. You can also start recording manually. You will
not miss an important call.
