Powerful handheld VHF
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.

Great VHF!
VHF radio came quickly from Freeport Marine. Radio works as expected. Is much smaller and lighter than my old (and replaced icom M-36)!

ICOM, Has Never Failed Me
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.

What the, can you, GOT IT !
Been going back on forth between different types of handheld VHF's operating the in many different conditions (not snow) of marine use and this one has been the best. Not indestructible and with care and maintenance (this is my second) learned from a little misuse in past, I expect this one to last a very good performance and long time.

Awesome
I was skeptical to buy a used product for such a great deal, but it arrived brand new, just an opened box and it works perfectly

nott good imo. apparently there are different versions of this ...
i bought this as my other icom got water in it......i read all the reviews, but after buying it i have to say, it is really quiet, even on full volume..i thought it would be much more loud. I work on a boat and cannot hear anyone calling me if it is more than 20 feet away. nott good imo. apparently there are different versions of this radio and i got the quieter one.look for the euro model for the louder one.

Best handheld VHF radio on the market
Have only used Icom VHF radios for many years. They are well built and highly dependable. They are a bit more expensive, but worth every penny.
