It Floats!

9 large buttons on the front panel provide simple straight forward operation. It weighs only 305g, and the IC-M34's easy-to-hold rounded body fits comfortably in your hand.

Quick channel selection with favorite channel function

The favorite channel function offers quick channel access to tagged channels by pushing the "FAV" button, while ignoring untagged channels.

Li-Ion battery and charger standard

A Lithium-Ion battery pack and battery charger are supplied as standard. The BP-252 Lithium-Ion battery pack provides 9 hours * of operating time.
