1.5m depth for 30 minutes
(1.5m depth for 30 minutes)
The IC-M504 withstands submersion in up to 1.5m depth of water
for 30 minutes. It is equivalent to the IPX8 standard. All products
are rigorously checked to pass the quality test at the factory.

Large LCD with dot-matrix characters

The IC-M504 has a 168-character, full dot-matrix display that al-
lows you to easily view a variety of information, such as GPS data,

Superior receiver performance

The IC-M504 has excellent receive specifications
of 80dB (typical) for intermodulation rejection and
adjacent channel selectivity, and 0.22µV (typical)
high sensitivity. The IC-M504’s superior receiver
provides excellent resistance to intermodulation
and allows you to catch a weak signal between
strong stations.
