What Customers Say About Icom IC-M72 Handheld Marine VHF Radio:

The scanning is quick but not quite as sensitive as I'd like. I bought this radio for safety and traffic alerts while on my small boat, plus the 6-watt output was a nice issue although my opinion of the higher wattage is to make up for a decrease in antenna size. Since this is a portable unit with relatively low power I squelch out more distant traffic, which I get a lot of being close to Seattle. I've seen reviews complaining there is no squelch knob; there isn't a knob, per se, but one push on a side button allows you to increase or decrease the squelch with the up/down "arrow" buttons. (I haven't float tested it yet--hope not to-- but it's been in heavy enough rains that I really appreciate the water-tight integrity). The radio tucks nicely into my float-coat inner pocket and used with the waterproof speaker/mic clipped to the collar I've got good reception; for transmitting I hand-hold the radio on my knee and use the extension microphone that's clipped to my collar.
All told, this is a really nice unit and I recommend it to anyone looking for an additional radio. This is a great little portable radio. you can actually work the squelch with one hand. sometimes an active channel is skipped but it may be due to my squelch setting.
They work very well and are easy to use and set up. It does not float by itself--something you need to consider when using it. We now have 2 of these marine radios. We had to buy a separate "float" bag, however, because we were afraid the radio might fall out of our sailboat and sink.
Anyone else out there."Buy this one if you want:Best in and around the watereasy, intuitive operationgreat battery and charging systemvery good supportUS company Great. 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. how come you're not turning around.
