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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on February 6, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***E on August 1, 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by F***K on August 19, 2022* ## 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.vu/products/1155601-icom-ic-m73-01-icom-ic-m73-01-handheld-vhf](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1155601-icom-ic-m73-01-icom-ic-m73-01-handheld-vhf) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
