Lightweight, Compact and Ready for Every Adventure
The ICOM M25 EVO VHF Radio is a compact handheld marine radio designed for recreational boaters, paddleboarders, kayakers, sailors and anyone who needs dependable communication on the water. Building on the success of the original M25, the EVO introduces improved ergonomics, extended battery life, convenient USB-C charging and enhanced usability, all while maintaining its incredibly lightweight floating design.
Weighing just 228g, the M25 EVO is one of the lightest floating marine VHF radios in its class, making it comfortable to carry throughout the day without sacrificing performance.
Reliable 5W Marine Communication
Despite its compact size, the M25 EVO delivers 5 watts of transmit power, providing reliable communication with nearby vessels, marinas and coastguard services. Whether you're navigating coastal waters, exploring inland lakes or using a tender between shore and yacht, the M25 EVO provides dependable marine communication when you need it most.
Supporting USA, International, Canadian and NOAA Weather Channels, the radio is suitable for a wide range of boating applications across North America.
Floats, Flashes and Stays Easy to Find
If the radio is accidentally dropped overboard, ICOM's renowned Float'n Flash™ technology automatically keeps it afloat while activating a flashing red LED and illuminated display, making retrieval quick and easy even in low-light conditions.
Designed for life around water, the M25 EVO also features an IPX7 waterproof rating, allowing it to withstand accidental immersion in up to one metre of water for 30 minutes without compromising performance.
USB-C Charging and Extended Battery Life
Charging has never been easier thanks to the addition of a modern USB Type-C charging port, allowing the radio to be recharged using widely available USB-C cables and chargers.
The new Eco Mode extends operating time to approximately 14 hours by reducing transmit power to 2.5W, making the M25 EVO ideal for full days on the water without worrying about battery life. Standard 5W operation remains available whenever maximum communication range is required.
Loud, Clear Audio
The M25 EVO features a powerful 700mW audio output, ensuring incoming transmissions remain clear even around engines, wind and other background noise. If water enters the speaker after heavy spray or accidental immersion, ICOM's AquaQuake™ speaker draining function quickly restores clear sound by vibrating water from the speaker cone.
Designed for Simplicity
Large, easy-to-press buttons, an improved textured grip and a bright backlit LCD make the M25 EVO exceptionally easy to operate, even with wet hands. Dual Watch, Tri-Watch, Favourite Channel memory, instant Channel 16 access and automatic scanning provide quick access to essential marine communications, making the radio equally suitable for occasional boaters and experienced mariners alike.
