Icom has generously outfitted DC Sail with top of the line marine radios. Reliable and high quality radios are critical for any prudent sailor and we are thankful for Icom's donation which allow us to run our programs more safely.
About Icom America
Icom America is proud to be a sponsor of the DC Sail program. Icom’s user-friendly, rugged marine VHF radios are up to the task. Every current Icom marine VHF radio offers military-rugged construction (MIL STD 810 E) and submersible performance (IPX7 or greater: tested to work after being submersed in over 3 feet of water for 30 minutes). Icom is proud to have won the coveted National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) Best of Communications award for the past 3 years straight – a feat only duplicated once before, and the company that did it the first time was also Icom.
Icom began as an engineering and manufacturing company, making advanced, compact solid-state radio equipment for use by amateur radio enthusiasts. Icom has since grown to become an industry leader with a product line that includes state-of-the-art communications equipment for land mobile and avionics use as well as marine VHF, SSB and navigation. Icom America's headquarters are in Bellevue, Washington. www.icomamerica.com
