With its innovative flashing red LED light, an overboard IC-M23 is easy to find, day or night.  The light flashes even if the radio is turned off.

The IC-M23 is powered by the 3.7V lithium-ion batrtery pack, BP-266 to reduce the capacity and weight of the radio.  A newly developed PA circuit provides 5W (approx.) RF output and powerful 600mW (typ.) audio even at this low voltage, while saving battery consumption for 10 hours of operating time.

The easy to see LCD (32x16mm) offers a clear 2-digit channel number indication.

Recharge the IC-M23 by plugging the wall charger directly in to the radio.  By eliminating exposed metal charging points, the IC-M23 is efven more protected from water damage.

The volume loud / mute functions temporarily change the volume to the maximum / minimum level with two touches of a button.  Depending on the background noise level, you can easily change the volume level to capture the received message.
