ICOM IC-M1V Is World's Smallest

Maritime Activity Reports, Inc.

March 9, 2000

ICOM's newest IC-M1V marine VHF hand held tranceiver is not just an upgraded version of the company's IC-M1. It also offers major breakthroughs that are new to the marine communications industry. Known as the first marine VHF hand held to provide Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery as standard equipment, the IC-M1V also offers five watts of talk power, enabling users (through Li-Ion) 12-14 hours of normal operation without having to recharge. The IC-M1V is also equipped with a submersible speaker-microphone option that plugs into the waterproof jack located on top of the product. A 30 percent larger backlit LCD display reveals alphanumeric channel descriptions for easy channel identification, and an easy to reach, adjustable squelch.
Trite but true, the path to decarbonization has no ‘silver bullet’ solution.
