    Clear Loud Sound
    By ParatusVerified Reviewer from Connecticut on 6/12/2009
    Pros:
    Easy To Use, Great Display, Waterproof
    Best Uses:
    Boating
    Describe Yourself:
    Recreational
    Accessories I Recommend:
    Accessory mic/speaker from ICOM
    Bottom Line:
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Icom M72 Handheld VHF Marine Transceiver:

    I have been on the water for many years and operate primarily recreation vessels in the waters around Long Island Sound and the Islands. I have owned several handhelds including a predecessor to the M72. For ICOM users the buttons are familiar and remain the easiest to use. The new M72 display is superb and easy to program. They have added a little protective shield to the knob, which should protect his weak point in most radios. The loudspeaker is much louder and clearer than the prior generation. My local dealer did not have the accessory mic/speaker for the m72 but I have one on order. As good as it gets in a handheld.

    Like the scrolled opening message when you turn it on. If you should put it down in the marina, another professional might just return it when he turns it on and see your vessel name scroll across the screen.

    I'm very pleased with the size and battery life. I do a lot of diving and sportfishing and being waterproof is very important to me. Especially around saltwater. And ICOM has a great reputation.

    m72 worth every red cent
    By tampawaterdog from west coast florida on 1/31/2008
    Pros:
    Durable, Good Value, High Quality
    Bottom Line:
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Icom M72 Handheld VHF Marine Transceiver:

    we are on the water almost every weekend and use the m72 as a back up radio in the tampa bay area

    battery life is better than anything we have ever seen , radio is loud and clear at all times .

    and range to coast guard and tow boat u.s.and
    sea tow is unbelivable

    these land based stations always comment that they dont believe i am using a handheld radio

    and i am usually 10 nautical miles away

    dont leave the dock with out the m72

    you wont regret buying it once you own it .
