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.
