IC-M88
VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER

 

Tough, Waterproof Construction
The IC-M88 is built to withstand toughest environments at sea and on land. The complete waterproofing will keep your radio alive even after dropping it into the water. The radio body meets the military specifications (MIL-STD). Waterproofing is under JIS Grade 7 standard (1m depth for 30 minutes).

Simple Operation
6 large backlit and clearly labelled buttons plus volume/power knob maximize the simplicity of operation. A large LCD with backlighting makes night time operation easy.

Li-Ion Battery
The BP-227 Li-Ion battery pack (1700 mAh) supplied with set. It provides up to 15 hours talk time (5:5:90 ratio).

22 Free channels for land use
The IC-M88 has 22 free channels reserved for land use (146~174 Mhz, Wide/Narrow channel spacing). These channels are programmable by dealer.

Desktop Charger Supplied
The BC-152 desktop charger is a simple drop-in charger. The charger can be set on the table or mounted to a wall.


 

Other features:

- Auto Weather scan and Weather alert function (USA version only)
- Simple Up/Down switches for operating channel selection
- Simple add/delete TAG scanning operation
- Two step power saver
- Key Lock function
- Battery 4-level indicator
- The self-check for internal temperature, battery voltage
  and water intrusion
