VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER
IC-M88
NotJust Another Marine Radio!
Tough construction, superiorwaterproofing
The IC-M88 is built tough to withstand hazardous and unhospitableenvironments at sea and on land. Even if the IC-M88 is dropped intowater, complete waterproofingwill protect it from harm. The compactand durable body meets the military specifications(MIL-STD).
Equivalent to JIS waterproof grade 7. (1mdepth for 30 minutes)
Simple operation
6 clearly labelled buttons on the front panel and the volume/powerknob maximize simplicity of operation. Even when wearing gloves,the large buttons are easy to operate. A large, clear LCD withbacklighting and backlit buttons make night time operationsimple.
Li-Ion battery for extra long battery life
With the standard 1700mAh Li-Ion battery pack, the BP-227, you canget up to 15 hours of talk timewithout worrying about ''memory effect''on batteries. An optional AA alkaline battery case, BP-226,provides a convenient back up and great reassurance in anemergency.
Typical operation; Tx:Rx:Stand-by dutyratio = 5:5:90
Waterproof speaker-microphone, HM-138
An optional waterproof speaker-microphone, the HM-138, providesreliable operation, even with the IC-M88 securely on yourbelt.
Powerful 5 Watts output power
The 5 Watts of output power ensures the reliability of yourcommunication, even over long distances. To save on batteryconsumption, you can reduce the output power to 3 Watts or 1Watt.
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, andCTCSS and DTCS signaling is built-in.
Appropriate license will berequired.
Desktop charger supplied
The BC-152 desktop charger is a simple drop-in charger. Set thecharger on a table or mount it to a wall.
