IC-M34
It floats! Introducing the world's first 5w VHF marine transceiver that floats! If you drop the IC-M34 into water, the radio comes up to the surface so that you can easily retrieve it from the water. As the radio has a rugged submersible body, it will keep on working even after it has been submerged. Reliable marine communications that won't let you down in or out of the boat! When floating in calm water, the base of the radio is level with the water surface
The 5w VHF marine handheld transceiver as researched by Icom in November 2006 tested good at 1m depth for 30 minutes, equivalent to IPX7.
