The ICOM IC-M73PLUS builds on many of the features that made the ICOM IC-M71 the choice of many maritime professionals across the globe but also incorporates two new important features:

New Voice Recording function

The last call voice recording function automatically saves the last incoming call for up to 1 minute. You can also start recording manually. You will not miss an important call.

Active Noise Cancelling Technology

The built-in bi-directional active noise cancelling reduces background noise by up to 90% and improves both your transmitted voice and incoming calls. You will hear and be heard better and clearer.

In addition to the two features above the ICOM IC-M73 PLUS also includes the following features and functions:

Bass Boost Function

The signal processing technology emphasizes low pitched sound to provide a rich bass sound for both transmit and receive signals.

700mW Loud Audio

The IC-M73PLUS uses a BTL (bridge-tied load) amplifier that doubles the audio output. Its internal speaker delivers a loud 700mW audio output with clear sound even in noisy environments.

6W RF Output Power

The IC-M73PLUS’s 6 Watts of transmit power will provide extended communication range for the user.
*Typical operation with 5:5:90 duty ratio.

IPX8 Advanced Waterproofing
