VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER
IC-M88
Not Just Another Marine
Radio!
 Tough construction,
superior waterproofing
The IC-M88 is built tough to withstand
hazardous and unhospitable environments at sea and on land. Even if the
IC-M88 is dropped into water, complete waterproofing* will protect it from harm. The compact
and durable body meets the military specifications
(MIL-STD).
* Equivalent to JIS waterproof
grade 7. (1m depth for 30 minutes)
Simple
operation
6 clearly labelled buttons on the front panel and the
volume/power knob maximize simplicity of operation. Even when wearing
gloves, the large buttons are easy to operate. A large, clear LCD with
backlighting and backlit buttons make night time operation
simple.
Li-Ion battery for extra long battery life
With
the standard 1700mAh Li-Ion battery pack, the BP-227, you can get up to 15
hours of talk time* without worrying
about 'memory effect' on batteries. An optional AA alkaline battery case,
BP-226, provides a convenient back up and great reassurance in an
emergency.
* Typical operation; Tx:Rx:Stand-by duty
ratio = 5:5:90
Waterproof speaker-microphone,
HM-138
An optional waterproof speaker-microphone, the HM-138,
provides reliable operation, even with the IC-M88 securely on your
belt.
Powerful 5 Watts output power
The 5 Watts of output
power ensures the reliability of your communication, even over long
distances. To save on battery consumption, you can reduce the output power
to 3 Watts or 1 Watt.
22 free channels for land use
The
IC-M88 has 22 free channels reserved for Land use (146-174MHz).
Wide/narrow channel spacing is programmable for each channel, and CTCSS
and DTCS signaling is built-in.
* Appropriate
license will be required.
Desktop charger
supplied
The BC-152 desktop charger is a simple drop-in charger.
Set the charger on a table or mount it to a wall.
