Powerful Handheld Communication for Every Voyage
The ICOM M37 VHF Radio (US) is a compact, high-performance handheld marine radio built for recreational and professional mariners alike. Offering an impressive 6 watts of transmit power, the M37 provides extended communication range while remaining lightweight enough to carry comfortably throughout the day.
Designed for life on the water, its ergonomic body, oversized buttons and bright display make operation simple, even with wet hands or while wearing gloves. Whether you're navigating coastal waters, fishing offshore, taking part in sailing events or keeping a handheld backup on board, the M37 delivers dependable communication wherever your adventures take you.
Built to Survive Life at Sea
Marine electronics need to withstand demanding conditions, and the M37 is engineered to do exactly that. With an IP57 waterproof and dustproof rating, the radio can survive accidental immersion in water up to one metre deep for 30 minutes, giving you confidence when operating in rain, spray or rough seas.
If the radio is accidentally dropped overboard, ICOM's exclusive Float'n Flash™ feature automatically causes it to float while activating a flashing LED and illuminated display, making it much easier to locate and recover in low-light conditions.
To maintain clear audio after exposure to water, AquaQuake™ technology vibrates the speaker to remove trapped water, helping restore sound quality quickly without manual intervention.
Loud, Clear Audio in Noisy Environments
The M37 features a powerful 700mW audio output, ensuring incoming calls remain clear and intelligible, even against engine noise, wind and challenging weather conditions. Voice Loud and Mute functions allow you to instantly maximise or reduce volume whenever required, making communication effortless whether you're underway or alongside the dock.
Designed for Long Days on the Water
Supplied with ICOM's high-capacity lithium-ion battery pack, the M37 provides up to 12 hours of operating time under typical marine use, allowing you to spend an entire day on the water without worrying about recharging.
For added flexibility during emergencies or extended trips, an optional alkaline battery case is also available, making the M37 an excellent addition to emergency grab bags and safety equipment.
Practical Features for Everyday Boating
Beyond its rugged construction and impressive performance, the M37 includes a range of practical features that make everyday operation simple and efficient. Dual Watch and Tri-Watch functions help you monitor Channel 16 while staying on your working channel, while Favourite Channel and Channel History functions provide quick access to the channels you use most frequently.
Additional features include NOAA Weather Channels with Weather Alert, instant Channel 16 access, programmable call channel, low battery alerts and multiple scan modes, making the M37 an ideal companion for everything from weekend boating trips to commercial marine operations.
