Would be nice if you could just plug a cord into a jack on the radio, but if you're going on a long trip you need to bring the charging station on board, not just a cord. **Q: how does this model compare with the 73 plus?** A: Hello,The M73 PLUS has all these features plus Active Noise Cancelling and Built In Voice Recorder. If you don't need these two features, I suggest you buy the M73.Regards, **Q: Is there an extended Amazon warranty for this radio?** A: As long as I know, you can get theer years warranty but I don't think it is an extended Amazon warrenty.I think this warranty is provided by the product manufacturer, Icom. **Q: Police scanner?? I am looking for a new handheld for my husband for cmas. We use it to monitor police and fire calls.** A: No, this is not a police scanner. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re looking at ICOM versus another brand get the ICOM *by on Reviewed in the United States February 6, 2026* I’ve been using ICOM radios for years and every one of them has been a solid purchase. I own 2 handhelds for instance that are close to 20 years old and the only thing that I’ve had to replace are the batteries. They aren’t pretty but they still work like they did when I bought them.The M-73 has a great receiver, probably the best in handheld marine radios not withholding other ICOMs that is.I fully expect this will hold up as well as my others. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful handheld VHF *by on Reviewed in the United States August 1, 2024* Solidly made product. Basic operations are straightforward and easy to perform using the buttons on the front of the radio. The more complex functions; e.g. setting up scanning on specific channels, requires the manual. Fortunately the manual is well organized and easy to reference. The electronic squelch control isn't completely intuitive, but I'm getting used to it. An old-school knob would give me more confidence the squelch is set correctly. The 12vdc plug for use with the charger base is a useful extra. My old ICOM M1V lasted 20+ years and that radio still works great; however replacement batteries are not available. Hopefully the M73 will be as good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ICOM, Has Never Failed Me *by on Reviewed in the United States August 19, 2022* I've used Icom for years and has been dependable. I bought this for my emergency ditch bag on my boat. It's smaller than you think, but still has good volume and a nice display. The one thing I wish it had was a display with a backlight. If this is needed at night you'll need a flashlight. ## Frequently Bought Together - ICOM IC-M73 01 Icom IC-M73 01 Handheld VHF Marine Radio, 6 Watts - Icom HM-167 Speaker Mic - Waterproof - ICOM Icom Icom BC-210 Rapid Charger, for M73, with AC Adapter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/1155601-icom-ic-m73-01-icom-ic-m73-01-handheld-vhf](https://www.desertcart.is/products/1155601-icom-ic-m73-01-icom-ic-m73-01-handheld-vhf) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
