ICOM IC-M127- VHF Marine Radio
This radio is being replaced with the M602 which as all the features of the M127 plus more.  We still have Manuals for the M127
IC-M127
Commercial grade 25 Watt VHF. Click on the small image to get a large picture of the IC-M127.

Top of the line ICOM VHF with extra-heavy duty components and construction.

The experts agree, the IC-M127 is the best of the best! "This radio is both an ergonomic and functional delight. Despite having every conceivable function, either built in or available as an option, the radio is easy to use and very intuitive thanks to many single-function buttons as well as a great, ten-character alphanumeric display added to standard display items." Powerboat Reports, June 1997

NMEA 5 Years running! Voted 2000's Best Fixed VHF Radiotelephone by the NMEA, just as it was in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Voted 1996 Best of the Show by the NMEA--long before it was even offered for sale to the public.
