*Approximate. Tx: Rx: Standby = 5 : 5 : 90.

IP57 Dust-tight and Waterproof Protection


The IC-M37 boasts exceptional IP57 waterproof protection, ensuring its safety even when submerged in water up to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. Feel confident using it on deck or in dusty environments without any concerns.

Float'n Flash™ Function

If you accidentally drop the IC-M37 into the water, it will float, flash and sound an alarm. The buoyancy, the flashing light, and the sound reduce the risk of loss at sea even at night.


AquaQuake™ Water Draining Function


The AquaQuake™ prevents audio degradation from a water-logged speaker. This function removes water from the speaker grill by vibrating the speaker cone. You can hear clear audio with this function.

6 W RF Output Power

The IC-M37's 6 Watts of transmit power provides extended communication range for the user.

Dualwatch and Tri-watch Functions


The Dualwatch and Tri-watch functions allow for periodic checking of Channel 16 while operating on another channel. This feature proves convenient when communicating with your friends' vessels or during sailing regattas, enabling you to make important announcements about the race.

Monitor Function

When receiving signal is weak and difficult to hear, you can use the Monitor function to open the squelch and help you hear the signal.
