Icom M94D Handheld VHF Radio

The World's First Handheld Marine VHF with AIS Receiver

The Icom M94D Handheld VHF Radio is one of the most advanced handheld marine radios available, combining an integrated AIS receiver, Class-H DSC, built-in GPS and 6W transmit power into a single rugged, waterproof device. Designed for serious recreational boaters, offshore anglers, sailing enthusiasts and commercial mariners, the M94D delivers professional-grade communication and situational awareness wherever you are onboard.

Unlike traditional handheld VHFs, the M94D allows you to monitor nearby AIS-equipped vessels directly from the handset, providing an extra layer of safety when navigating busy waterways, restricted visibility or offshore environments.

Integrated AIS Receiver for Greater Situational Awareness

The standout feature of the M94D is its built-in AIS receiver, allowing you to view nearby vessel traffic directly on the radio's display without relying solely on a chartplotter. AIS-equipped vessels are displayed with their position and movement, helping you make better-informed navigation decisions in congested waters or poor visibility.

The radio also supports AIS Target Call, allowing you to initiate a DSC individual call directly from a selected AIS target, making vessel-to-vessel communication quicker and more efficient.

Built-in GPS and Class-H DSC

The M94D features an integrated GNSS receiver that continuously determines your position for navigation and emergency communications. In the event of an emergency, the dedicated rear-mounted DSC Distress button automatically transmits your GPS position via Class-H Digital Selective Calling, helping nearby vessels and rescue authorities respond as quickly as possible.

The radio also includes a simple waypoint navigation function, allowing you to store up to 50 favourite locations and receive guidance back to them whenever required.

Powerful Audio in Demanding Conditions

Marine environments are rarely quiet, so the M94D features a class-leading 1500mW audio output coupled with Active Noise Cancelling technology to ensure conversations remain loud and intelligible even around engines, wind and rough seas.

Whether you're communicating with nearby vessels or monitoring weather broadcasts, the M94D delivers exceptional audio clarity that inspires confidence when every message matters.

Built to Handle Life at Sea

Designed specifically for marine use, the M94D carries an IPX7 waterproof rating, surviving immersion in one metre of water for up to 30 minutes. If accidentally dropped overboard, Icom's Float'n Flash™ feature keeps the radio afloat while flashing the display, keypad and distress button for quick recovery.

The built-in AquaQuake™ function removes water from the speaker after immersion, restoring crisp audio with the press of a button.

Reliable Performance Wherever You Go

Powered by a high-capacity 2400mAh lithium-ion battery, the M94D provides approximately 10 hours of operating time under typical use while maintaining its full 6W transmit power for dependable long-range communication.

Combining AIS, GPS, DSC and premium audio in a rugged handheld design, the Icom M94D is an outstanding communication and safety companion for anyone who spends serious time on the water.
