Editorial Review:
A compact design, hourglass body-shape and comfortable side grips give the IC-M72 an outstanding ?form factor? - it's easy to use with just one hand!The M72's impressive audio output is loud enough to hear in most any marine environment - even over loud engine noise.The IC-M72 offers Icom's best-ever protection against water intrusion. This radio has been tested to survive after being submersed in 1.5m (4.9ft) depth of water for 30 minutes.A wide viewing angle, high intensity LCD is used in the IC-M72, offering bright, easy to read characters. The bright LCD backlighting and backlit keypad is great for night time operation.The IC-M72's antenna is engineered to perform with typical Icom efficiency even though it is nearly 30% shorter than previous Icom marine antenna.

Very useful
We now have 2 of these marine radios. They work very well and are easy to use and set up. We had to buy a separate "float" bag, however, because we were afraid the radio might fall out of our sailboat and sink. It does not float by itself--something you need to consider when using it. 2008-07-26
A real Marine Radio
Let's say you fall off your boat with one of these babies in your pocket - it will actually work - with a water removal system for the speaker. "Hey Honey, I kind of fell over the side - yes, off the stern - see me? Great! how come you're not turning around...? Anyone else out there?"
