ICOM Submersible VHF Marine Transceiver IC-M72

Description

Original owner, in excellent condition and comes with all parts as shown. I have not located my OEM A/C adapter (I always used the included 12v plug) but will include a compatible 1 amp Netgear 12v A/C adapter if I am unable to find the original ICOM adapter by auction end.
While these quality radios are built like tanks, the only issue I've had is that sometimes the radio needs to be wedged a bit forward in the charger to engage the charging tabs - I've not messed with the tabs or tried to bend them because wedging the radio works every time. Batteries hold a charge forever between outings anyway.
From the Manufacturer:
Compact Body, Great “Form Factor”
A compact design, hourglass body-shape and comfortable side grips give the IC-M72 an outstanding “form factor” – it’s easy to use with just one hand!
Highest available power! 6 Watts
The IC-M72’s 6 Watts*1 of transmit power can carry a conversation a long way. A large capacity 2000mAh Lithium-Ion battery allows for 15–16 hours of operation, under normal conditions*2.
*1 5W for Australia version,
*2 5% Transmit, 5% Receive, 90% Stand-by
Impressive Force5Audio
The M72’s impressive audio output (600mW typ.*) is loud enough to hear in most any marine environment – even over loud engine noise.
*10% distortion, 8Ω load
Submersible PLUS (IPX8)
The IC-M72 offers Icom’s best-ever protection against water intrusion. This radio has been tested to survive after being submersed in 1.5m (4.9ft) depth of water for 30 minutes.
Wide Viewing Angle LCD
A wide viewing angle, high intensity LCD is used in the IC-M72, offering bright, easy to read characters. The bright LCD backlighting and backlit keypad is great for night time operation.
30% Shorter Antenna
The IC-M72’s antenna is engineered to perform with typical Icom efficiency even though it is nearly 30%* shorter than previous Icom marine antenna.
* IC-M72’s antenna length is 115mm; 417/32 in.
