Icom M25 EVO Floating VHF Handheld Transceiver - Black Frequenty Asked Questions:Q. Is the Icom M25 EVO fully waterproof and suitable for use in all UK weather conditions?A. Yes, the Icom M25 EVO is rated IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can be submerged in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes without damage. This makes it ideal for UK marine conditions, whether you're boating inland, along the coast, or out at sea. It's designed to withstand rain, splashes, and even accidental drops overboard. Q. What is the battery life of the Icom M25 EVO, and how long does it take to recharge?A. The built-in lithium-ion battery offers an impressive up to 11 hours of operating time on a single charge (at 5W transmit, 1:1:8 duty cycle). The radio recharges fully in approximately 3 hours using the included USB Type-C cable and charger. You can also charge it via a USB port onboard, making it extremely convenient for modern vessels. Q. Can the Icom M25 EVO float if dropped in water, and does it have any visual or audible alerts?A. Yes, the Icom M25 EVO is designed to float if dropped overboard. It also features Float'n Flash and MOB (Man Overboard) Alarm technology Q. Does the Icom M25 EVO support UK marine channel configurations, including M1/M2 (37A/P1)?A. The Icom M25 EVO covers all international, US, and Canadian VHF marine channels and complies with UK standards. Q. Is a licence required to use the Icom M25 EVO in the UK?A. Yes, to legally use the Icom M25 EVO in the UK, you need a Ship Radio Licence and at least one person on board must hold a Short Range Certificate (SRC), commonly referred to as the VHF radio licence. These can be obtained from Ofcom and through RYA training courses. Q. Can I charge the Icom M25 EVO via USB onboard, and does it support USB-C charging?A. Yes, the Icom M25 EVO is one of the few handheld marine radios that features USB Type-C charging, allowing you to charge directly from a USB port onboard, from a power bank, or via a 12V adapter. This eliminates the need for bulky charging docks and makes it ideal for compact and mobile setups. Q. Is the Icom M25 EVO compatible with other Icom accessories or headsets?A. The M25 EVO uses a waterproof accessory jack, compatible with select Icom speaker mics, earpieces, and headsets (such as the HM-213). However, compatibility is limited compared to higher-end models, so always check accessory listings for M25 EVO compatibility before purchasing. Q.

How does the Icom M25 EVO compare to the Icom M37 or M94D?A. The M25 EVO is lightweight, floats, charges via USB-C, and is ideal for small craft and dinghies. The M37 offers higher audio output and a larger body with improved ergonomics and longer battery life and also floats.The M94D includes a built-in GPS and AIS receiver, DSC calling, and M1/M2 channel support, making it the best choice for offshore or commercial use
