The Icom IC-M33, a handheld VHF marine transceiver that actually floats. If you drop the M33 into the water, it floats back to the surface so you can easily reterieve it. The radio has a rugged waterproof body which will continue to work even after being submerged, providing reliable marine communications in or out of the boat!!

Simple Operation
Designed with an easy-to-hold-rounded body that fits comfortably in your hand even when wearing gloves.  As with all Icom handhelds, it features a large, easy to read backlit LCD (32x16 mm) with a clear 2-digit channel number indication. The Volume and SQL levels are shown in the display. LCD and key backlighting are standard features, ideal for night time operation.

AquaQuake Function
Another innovative feature is the "AquaQuake" draining function - a vibrating sound from the loudspeaker clears water away from the speaker grille.

Favorite Channel Function
Quick channel selection with Favourite channel function. Tag your favourite or often used channels then push the “Fav” button, so that you can recall those channels, while ignoring untagged channels.

Lithium-Ion Battery
Li-Ion 980mAh battery pack and charger supplied as standard provide up to 9 hours of operating time.

Optional waterproof speaker-microphone HM-165 will still allow the IC-M33 to float when attached. The waterproof screw-type connector is provided to prevent water intrusion.
