Product Description

Waterproof submersible 5 watt handheld, waterproof-JIS grade 7, selectable dual/tri watch, "TAG" scan system, and 9 key operation Included Components: BP-224 (Ni-Cd 7.5V/750mAh battery), BC-150 01 (drop-in charger [BC-147A/E 11/12 required] ), BC-147A 11(AC adapter for BC-150), FASC-55V (flexible antenna), MB-68 (belt clip)

Built tough to withstand the punishing marine environment, the Icom IC-M32 handheld VHF radio is a must for safety-minded boaters. The radio is outfitted with a host of valuable features, including an easy-to-read 1.25-by-0.62-inch LCD display, a backlit nine-button keypad, and a rugged waterproof housing that's submersible in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. More significantly, the radio works with all 57 U.S., 61 Canadian, and 57 international channels, along with 10 weather channels from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA). The VHF channels offer an ideal way to communicate with other boaters — whether exchanging information on a great fishing spot or sending out a distress signal — while the NOAA channels notify you when inclement weather is approaching.

As with any good VHF radio, the IC-M32 also offers several scanning modes, including a traditional scan mode that searches through all the tag channels in sequence, a priority scan mode that does the same but also monitors the distress channel (number 16), and a weather alert option that immediately switches the radio to the appropriate weather channel when a storm warning comes through. And thanks to the convenient Dual Watch and Tri-Watch functions, you don't have to sacrifice safety when talking on a specific channel. The Dual Watch mode lets you communicate on a channel of your choice while also keeping an eye on channel 16. The Tri-Watch option, meanwhile, monitors two channels — channel 16 and another channel — while receiving a third channel. The pair of "watch" modes guarantee that you won't miss an important emergency call from a distressed boater while your attention is otherwise engaged.

Additional features include a robust 5-watt output power, a four-step battery life indicator, a squelch and volume level indicator, and a two-step power saver. Bundled with such accessories as a belt clip, a hand strap, a rechargeable ni-cad battery, and a drop-in charger, the IC-M32 measures 2.41 by 5.31 by 1.62 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a three-year waterproof warranty.

Customer Reviews
Good value
I use this radio for day sailing and it meets or exceeds my expectations for a handheld VHF unit. I dinged it one star because the NiCad battery runs down fast and is finicky about charging (one must monitor the time it spends in the charger so as not to overcook it.) Other than the power issues, it is great.…   More reviews
