The third-generation floating radio from the company that invented floating radios. Compact, easy-to-use M24 is the smallest floating VHF radio yet, but it packs a punch with the biggest battery (1450mAh). Plus, it is nearly impossible to lose in the drink. If you drop your M24 overboard, it floats bottom-up, and its exclusive “Float ‘n’ Flash” feature alerts you with a bright LED on the radio bottom that begins signaling, even if the radio is turned off! Large, well-spaced controls and all the boater-friendly features ICOM marine radios are known for.

Comments about M24 Handheld Floating VHF Radio:
I am a kayak fisherman and felt uncomfortable being on the water, miles out, without any kind of communication. I researched radios and picked up the M24. Its light, clips on my PFD, and has a cord to secure it to the vest. I scan several channels, from the emergency channel to the weather. The marine weather is a huge thing to have at hand, it changes quickly. Being able to eavesdrop on other fisherman is convenient as well. I don't go with out my rods and reels nor my radio.

Comments about M24 Handheld Floating VHF Radio:
I purchased three of these radios all on same day.
Two out of three radios still work great. I have had them apoprox. 18 months and use them daily. One of the radios just stopped working. I sent it back to icom and was told it had a bad transistor and the part was $2.56. Initially icom said the total bill would be $88.00 with labor for a $2.56 part. I refused to pay. Customer service agreed to cut the labor half, however felt the amount was still excessive for what job entailed. Draw ur own conclusions.
